John Brawley - another LRPD officer arrested for domestic violence LRPD Major Crimes/Violent Crimes Detective John Brawley was arrested and booked into the Saline County jail on charges of 3rd degree assault on a family or household member. Brawley was booked and released. We posted about Brawley having a take-home vehicle in July 2019 (click here for that story). According to public records he and an Angela Brawley lived in Benton. We found that Brawley and his wife Angela divorced in 2013. At the time of publication we had not determined if they had remarried. Brawley was suspended back in 2007.

LRPD "Chief Keef" Humphrey In a shocking and disturbing move, the Little Rock Police Department moves towards less transparency and interaction with citizens by announcing it drops quarterly meetings in favor in semiannual ones. News of this prompted one citizen to contact her city board representative and express grave concerns. The first homicide of 2020 occurred in West Little Rock on January 6th (Ward 6) as did a double shooting on January 7th (Ward 5). Both of these violent crimes are making white folks in their WLR neighborhoods very nervous.   Apparently LRPD did not provide this information to city leadership as they were caught off guard. We reached out to Ward 5 Director Hines and he advised us that he and other board members were trying to find out why they were not notified. Hines made reference to the email from one of his constituents  and echoed her concerns. We also spoke with Ward 6 Director Doris Wright and she stated that they (LRPD) had mentioned to her th...

  Where do you go for help when the people who are meant to keep you safe are the real danger? Our last post was about two LRPD officers recently involved in domestic violence incidents. One of those domestic abusers was Jonathan Walker. We were contacted by a female that was stalked by Walker after he responded to a call to her residence when a now former boyfriend abused her. She later received a message from him on Instagram from him. Walker claimed they "matched" on a dating site. We asked for a copy of the MVR footage from the incident.  LRPD responded that it was no longer available. That's a shame as cops often forget that they are being recorded and make some interesting comments. Perhaps Walker made comments to other officers about the female he subsequently stalked.  We will never know. And LRPD might let him resign to keep investigative files from becoming releasable public records. You might recall our post back in May 2018 about another creepy LRPD officer ...

Little Rock Police officer Muhammad Yaqeen was arrested by his fellow employees for yet another incident of domestic violence involving a LRPD officer. LRPD Officer Muhammed Yaqeen The arrest/disposition report states that Yaqueen punched his wife during an argument and that LRPD officers observed injuries to her face and arms. According to LRPD spokesman Eric Barnes, LRPD responded around 11:30 p.m. Monday December 23rd to a report of an assault/domestic disturbance. Tiffany Yaqueen told officers she and her husband got into an argument, so she went outside to get in her car to leave. Yaqueen followed, Mrs. Yaqueen told police, and while he was standing outside the car, he dropped his phone. She said she tried to pick it up and Muhammad began “struggling” to take it back, according to the report. She said he then punched her in the side of the head. Officers observed blood on her left ear and swelling under her left eye. Muhammad Yaqeen told officers a different explanation of what ha...

ASP Trooper Mark Holland's before and after photos The Arkansas State Police ("ASP") allowed one of their Troopers suspected of committing several criminal acts to resign, which shields their internal investigative files from public disclosure.

The ASP learned of Holland's criminal activity on December 13th when the victim filed a complaint with the independence County Sheriff's Office. According to court records Trooper Holland had been harassing a female since January 2016 and had used law enforcement resources to track and stalk her. The records reveal that Holland was infatuated with the female, who had worked at a gas station owned by his family. Holland became irritated that the female did not respond to emails that he sent to her requesting photos and soliciting sex. Holland used suggestive email addresses like ...
