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 statement to try and make the story go away.

We immediately requested the LRSD internal investigation file and they sent it.

The shoddy investigation did produce so interesting things.

Davenport had what the district called a "spam" Instagram account.

In the investigative world we call it a "sock" account.

Davenport used her sock account to connect with "select" students and she made some questionable posts.

The investigation finding also revealed she and Justin Lanier, a 19 year old student that was not in any class she taught, were in her office with a locked door.

The couple was surprised when assistant volleyball coach Allison Clark used a key she had and opened the locked door. As she was unlocking the door, Davenport sat down on a chair and Lanier plopped onto a beanbag. They said they had been "snacking".

Clark had also observed the couple in a sketchy situation, behind the gym, and she saw Lanier get out of Davenport's vehicle and try and quickly slip away.

Lanier told LRSD investigators that he should have kept his relationship with Denton on a professional, student-teacher level instead of what it was.

Lanier is 19 years old and is an adult under Arkansas law.

Arkansas teachers can have sex with students who are age 18 and older, the state Supreme Court ruled in 2012, calling a ban on such conduct unconstitutional.

That's why the Little Rock Police Department just filed an information report as the prosecuting attorney would decline to prosecute Davenport for any illegal activity.

Lanier has signed to play for Nebraska.

If Nebraska decides that the scandal he's involved in at his high school is too much for them and they cut him loose, we suspect that Lanier will drop a dime and snitch out Davenport and seek legal action against her and the district for unethical abuse of power.

In part two, we will dive into Davenport and how an unlicensed individual gets a sweet job in LRSD due to her mother being in administration.

ASP Trooper texts and stalks a 14 year old that was near same age as his own daughter, while having an affair with her married sister.

Was ASP Trooper Billy Martin trying to pull all 3 sisters? In January 2019, Callie Hinson and Joseph Ramer began dating. On June 13, 2020, Joseph proposed to Callie. They were married on February 21, 2021. By the time of their first anniversary, their marriage was in shambles and Callie was estranged from her family all due to this man, Arkansas State Police Trooper Billy Mitchell Martin. Martin joined the ASP as a recruit in January of 2007. Records from his personnel file indicate he was from Boone County and he was posted there after graduating troop school. Martin was promoted to Trooper First Class in July 2011 and Corporal in July 2014. In late 2019 and early 2020, Martin tried to get transferred to a Criminal Investigation position in Boone County but was unsuccessful. Around that same time, Martin filed for divorce from his wife of 10 years. The Divorce was finalized in March 2020. Martin hit the single scene hard and had no trouble hooking up with bad...
