North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick is a documented creep

NLR Mayor Hartwick likes to squeeze teenage girls "fat rolls"

North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick is no stranger to scandals. 

When he was mayor back in the 1980's he was fooling around with a teenager that was working as an intern and spent hundreds of dollars on telephone calls talking to her when she was a student as the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

His entanglement with that UAF student, Gina Fortenberry, caused his wife at the time to divorce him in 1987. Hartwick was almost 40 at that time.

That scandal and another involving payoffs caused his trouncing defeat in the 1988 NLR mayoral election to Patrick Henry Hays (Hays received 63% of the votes to Hartwick's 37%).

Here's the tea about Hartwick's entanglement with that teenage summer intern (from a interview in October 2000 of John Woodruff, who had been a reporter with the Arkansas Gazette that covered news in NLR).

Let's jump back to the present time.

The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce had an event on December 5, 2025, at which the North Little Rock High School choir had been invited to perform while attendees ate lunch.

According to the woman that played the piano for the choir, it was a rowdy crowd.

And according to the E. Jade Keathley, the NLR Choir Director, NLR Mayor Hartwick got handsy with her and her students. The female students told her what Hartwick did to them made them feel uncomfortable.

The female students complained and a report was filed with the North Little Rock Police Department. Ms. Keathley obtained numerous witness statements from choir members and provided them to the police.

Being a third-rate police department, the NLRPD chief asked the ASP to investigate.

Bringing in the ASP that is only a rung higher with their main skill being PIT maneuvers ensures you that they will do a bang-up job and protect the young girls.

The ASP investigator, Mike McNeil, dismissed the statements of young females and gaslighted them in his report saying videos of the girls on the bus show them laughing and having a good time after the incident with Hartwick, so their statements are not reflective of the truth. 

Fuck him. If he has daughters I hope something like this never happens to them.

We will be doing a deep dive into McNeil.

And the special prosecuting attorney appointed to review the ASP file, Robbie Jones,  refused to file any charges.

Hartwick needs to resign and law enforcement agencies like the North Little Rock Police Department and the Arkansas State Police need to protect our children.
