Snarky Media Report

From documents recently obtained from the Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration, it appears that Rick Crisman, the former deputy director of the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (and a certified law enforcement officer), improperly obtained driver's licenses that individuals that had moved to NW Arkansas from other states exchanged for an Arkansas driver's license. CLICK TO VIEW DL'S CRISMAN SOMEHOW ACQUIRED According to sources at DFA/Revenue, when a licensed driver from another state moves to Arkansas and goes to a local revenue office to obtain an Arkansas driver's license, they turn in the license from the other state. The revenue officer then enters the old license information into the computer for a report to be sent to the other state that the individual was issued an Arkansas driver's license. The old license is then shredded. Crisman worked out of the Fayetteville Revenue Office at 965 S. Razorback Road, Suite 2. According to an em...

Call the DFA and ABC and demand to know why they refused to fire Crisman and instead let him resign.

JOEL COLEMAN -FORMER ABC UNDERCOVER MINOR Joel Coleman was an undercover minor for the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control from November 2008 through November 2010 when he was 17 and 18 years old at Lakeside High School in Hot Springs. Coleman had acting experience which made him a good fit for ABC undercover activity. CLICK TO VIEW COLEMAN'S RESUME T he use of an under-age agent to attempt to purchase alcohol is extremely questionable and some would argue that it is a form of entrapment or a sting operation. Entrapment vs. Opportunity.The key aspect of entrapment is this: Government agents do not entrap defendants simply by offering them an opportunity to commit a crime. Judges expect people to resist any ordinary temptation to violate the law. An entrapment defense arises when government agents resort to repugnant behavior such as the use of threats, harassment, fraud , or even flattery to induce defendants to commit crimes. The Texas ABC has this posted on their website:...

The Arkansas Ethics Commission has opened an investigation regarding the activities of the ABC's former deputy director Rick Crisman. Crisman used his position as ABC Deputy Director to obtain information that was used in a smartphone application he developed and sold on Google Play and Itunes. Crisman resigned during an internal investigation by DFA/ABC. Perhaps the Department of Finance and Administration should look at when the ABC Director first learned about Crisman's activities and why he chose to look the other way. ETHICS COMMISSION DOCUMENT
