Earl, AR mayor being investigated by Arkansas State Police for his relationship with a 15 year old boy

FBI provided information to the ASP about messages between Smith and a 15 yr old

According the Arkansas State Police, they received a tip from the FBI that Jalen Smith, the mayor of Earle, AR for his "inappropriate" relationship with a 15 year old boy.

Credible sources in Earl city government provided us with information about a mother of a 15 year old boy finding alarming Snapchat messages between her son and Jalen Smith, the sketchy mayor of Earl.

We first reached out the the Crittenden County Sheriff's Office and an individual in their Criminal Investigation Division told us to contact the ASP.

We made a phone call to the ASP for records about the complaint and the ASP provided this response.

On-going criminal investigation records are exempt for AFOIA requests and the ASP provided what information they could under the AFOIA.

We might give the ASP hell about their abusive, foul-mouthed, and occasional pedophile troopers, but they are mostly transparent about their activities.

In October 2025, we published an exclusive story about his criminal use of a city credit card for a personal trip to the Democratic National Convention and subsequent act of accepting an illegal gift of funds to reimburse the city for the fraudulent use of the card. You can read that story by clicking here.

Another source reports that Smith has attempted to bribe the mother of the 15 year old boy he was messing around to have her keep quite about the matter so he can avoid legal consequences.

Stay tuned for updates.
