Former ASP Trooper Mitchell Smothers According to a news release the Arkansas State Police sent us this morning, Trooper Mitchell Smothers resigned after he rolled his personal ride over with his two daughters in the back seat last night. Smothers was charged with Driving while Intoxicated ("DWI") and child endangerment. Smothers was only held at the Washington County Detention Center for two hours. He was released without bond. Perhaps he got the Good Ole Boy Treatment as he is a former Washington County Sheriff's Deputy. Smothers played football (defensive lineman) at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville from 2011 through 2015.   Smothers is set to appear at West Fork District Court on August 1, 2024. We have requested video from the Washington County Sheriff's Office. Stay tuned for updates.  ### The Washington County Sheriff denied our request for videos.  This is the statue they claim exempts the videos. They really do not want the public to see how drunk t...

  Two Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputies resigned in March 2024 after they were caught stealing time from an off-duty employer, Arkansas Children's Hospital ("ACH").   On March 11, 2024 ACH contacted LRPD and reported that Williams and Mayfield had been fraudulently claiming time worked. Michelle Tull, ACH Physical Security Manager, told LRPD detective David O'Neal that video recordings showed Williams clocking into work and then he used Mayfield's ACH ID card to clock her in. This had been happening since January 11, 2024. Tull also found video showing that Williams left the ACH campus multiple times after clocking in and returned several hours later.  ACH payroll records provided to LRPD revealed that Williams and Mayfield were paid $40.00 per hour and that Williams received approximately $21, 361 for time he did not work and Mayfield received approximately $17,778.00 for time she did not work. Both Williams and Mayfield were charged with Theft of Property, a...

Former LRPD cops Desidario Pullie and Jakari Lott-Henderson   On May 8th we broke the story about the Scott Administration LRPD attempting to cover up a domestic violence incident involving two of their cops. LRPD administration allowed the pair to resign to prevent investigative records be available to the public.  You can read that story by clicking here . The two were involved in a tumultuous relationship that erupted in violence on October 10, 2023.  Both claimed they had been assaulted and Pullie destroyed the windshield on Lott-Henderson's vehicle.  Pullie also told Lott-Henderson he would kill her then himself. The Scott Administration refused to release internal investigation records as the investigation did not result in termination. Both were suspended - "relieved of duty" - prior to the commencement of the internal investigation and therefore the records were exempt from release under the AFOIA, or so the Scott Administration thought. Records we obtain...

https://www.littlerock.gov/residents/police-department/21st-century-policing/ok-program-our-kids/     On September 12, 2023, Donald Northcross, the founder and CEO of the OK Program told the Little Rock Police Department that the OK Program of Little Rock operated by LRPD was being discontinued. Northcross also told LRPD they could not operate on any Little Rock School District campus as the OK Program.   The disenfranchisement of the LRPD OK Program had it's start with a verbal argument between Northcross and LRPD cop Brad Stewart about how Stewart was or was not correctly conducting the OK Program at Cloverdale Middle School. It did not help matters that LRPD had refused several requests to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the National OK Program and LRPD. Instead of complying, LRPD continues to use the OK Program and to this day still has it own their website. They are planning on simply changing the name of the program and stealing the intellectual property ...

Kimberely Jordan Eason - LRSD HR Employee Relations/Benefits Director   Thanks to a tipster from LRSD, we learned that one of their fellow employees has been arrested and is on trial for Domestic Battery, a Class A misdemeanor that carries a sentence up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. According to a LRPD incident report, Eason (42 yrs old)  had broken up with her boyfriend, Moshin Virani (38 yrs old) but retained a garage door opener to his home. On October 2, 2023 at around 7 pm, Eason used the garage door opener to gain access to Virani's house and found him with another woman, Anna Sharp (24 yrs old). An argument ensued and Eason bit Virani multiple times. Mohsin Virani According to Google, Virani is a professional poker player and he purchased a home in a Chenal Valley neighborhood for $626,800 in October 2022.     Eason has a trial set for July 30th at 8:30 am in the Little Rock District Court of Judge Melanie Martin. Here's a copy of all the court filing...

    We previously broke the story about two LRPD cops that resigned to try and keep the internal investigation report concerning a domestic violence incident they were involved in from being made public.  You can read that story by clicking here .  We were able to obtain details that the Scott Administration and it's police department did not want to let out either. LRPD recommended the decertification of former cop Desidario Pullie to the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training ("CLEST"). Pullie was romantically involved with another LRPD cop, Jakari Lott-Henderson. Their relationship was a tumultuous one. Several incidents of violence had erupted between them and on October 10, 2023 the shit hit the fan. That day Lott-Henderson was at Pullie's apartment on Green Mountain Drive and were arguing about her asking him to return a key to her apartment on Chenal Drive. Pullie grabbed her from behind and placed her in a choke hold.  She was able...

In October 2023 Pullie threatened to kill Jakari Henderson and himself   On October 12, 2023 LRPD cop Jakari Lott Henderson filed for an order of protection from LRPD cop Desidario Donte Pullie. A temporary order of protection was immediately granted and a court date was set for October 26, 2023.   The temporary order of protection prohibited  Pullie from possessing a firearm. Court records show that the Pulaski County Sheriff's office was not able to serve Pullie and that Henderson failed to show up at the scheduled hearing. More often than not, complaints of domestic violence against LRPD cops simply fall apart due to pressure from the Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police and their shyster attorney. If children are involved, the victim often refuses to cooperate so that they can continue to get financial support from the perpetrator. Pullie was allowed to continue employment until her resigned on March 8, 2024. Why did LRPD not seek a civil commitment for a psycholog...
