Little Rock School District tried to cover-up a convicted felon working with kids at Don R. Roberts Elementary

Based on a tip, we sent an AFOIA request to the Little Rock School District requesting records about a sketchy social worker and convicted felon, Jonathan Earl Wilson, being at Don Roberts Elementary.

Wilson has a sordid criminal past that includes arson, drug, forgery, theft and weapons charges.





LRSD responded and stated they had no records about Wilson.


We knew that was a lie, and a violation of the AFOIA (failure to produce the requested existing public records),  and so we requested additional records from them to catch them in a Rope-A-Dope maneuver. 

We next asked for records about any agreements/contracts between LRSD and Arkansas Holistic Therapy.

Those records proved to be their undoing and exposed their willful violation of the AFOIA.

For in the contract between LRSD and Arkansas Holistic Therapy, there was a requirement for records about therapists to be provided to LRSD.



We then fired back another AFOIA request to LRSD asking for the same records we sought in our first AFOIA request. 


These are the records LRSD provided to our third AFOIA request. Records they initially told us did not exist, and records that prove a cover-up attempt:

We also obtained records from the Arkansas Social Work License Board:


Wilson lied on his applications with the Social Work Licensing Board about felony convictions and even lied on his most recent application about previous licensing issues. Apparently you can lie to the Social Work Licensing Board multiple times and get away with it.

Wilson has never fully taken responsibility for his actions, actions that resulted in a felony conviction and time in a state correctional facility.

Wilson's deflection (a defense mechanism in psychology where a person avoids responsibility or uncomfortable emotions by shifting the focus or blame onto someone or something else) are a big red flag that he is not mentally fit to be treating children.

In an email Wilson sent to the Social Work Licensing Board in 2019, he claimed he was having "personal issues" in 2016 and that was why he did not renew his license. That "personal issues" was that he was incarcerated at the time. 


His avoiding accountability is further evidenced in his fighting responsibility for child support while he was incarcerated.   


And he tried to seal his all his criminal court cases in January of 2025, but couldn't because he has not taken responsibility for the $44,289.36 in court fines and paid them.




Let's look at some of those records Wilson wants to hide from the public, especially the parents of the kids he works with at Don Roberts Elementary School.













Wilson is an addict and will always be one. From a court order in 2020,  his ex-wife can monitor his medical and pharmacy records as a condition for him to have visits with their children.



In January 2018, we published a story about the Arkansas State Medical Board about them allowing a mentally ill doctor to obtain a license to practice medicine in Arkansas without any consideration at all about the concerns and restrictions California had placed on him. https://www.smr.snarkymedia.com/2018/01/state-medical-board-unable-to-answer.html

These state licensing agencies do a poor job of protecting the citizens of Arkansas when they allow dangerous individuals to practice medicine or work in schools as a social worker.

Based on a photo from Google maps of the office of Arkansas Holistic Therapy, we question their judgment by choosing macabre Halloween decorations for their office. Use of a blood dripping sign with bloody handprints could trigger victims of domestic violence, especially children.

The Little Rock Police Department is investigating to find out which of their cops is associating with a felon, in violation of their policies.

Wilson claimed on one of his social work license applications that he could have a LRPD cop write him a support letter.

Maybe that cop was in one of the treatment programs Wilson was court ordered to take.

  A video of a part-time Dover, AR city marshal threatening a local business that went viral on social media, resulted in his termination of employment on October 1st.   Here's the video.

Rumors about meth pipes and the 479 Smoke Shop.   According to records obtained from the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards & Training ("CLEST"), Jones previously worked part-time for the Dover Marshal's Office from October 26, 2007 through January 2, 2009.   Jones was also elected in 2023 as the Martin Township Constable and held that position under he lost to Ricky "Perch" Parks in 2025.   Don't worry about Jones losing his part-time job.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week  ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
