LRPD OFFICER CONVICTED IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE - FEDERAL LAW PREVENTS HIM FROM POSSESSING FIREARMS - WHY IS HE STILL EMPLOYED?

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THIS GUY IS STILL ON THE PUBLIC PAYROLL


We posted back in January about two LRPD officers suspended for domestic violence incidents. You can read that post by clicking here

One of those officers, Ahmed "Jack" Soliman was recently convicted of a crime that makes him ineligible to posses a firearm and to hold a law enforcement certification in the state of Arkansas.

So why has he not been fired?  

That's a question Mayor Frank Scott and LRPD have refused to answer.

We sent several email about his continued employment which were ignored.

So much for transparency in the Scott regime.

On March 6, 2019, Soliman plead guilty to the charge of domestic battery 3rd - an offense that prohibits him from ever possessing a firearm, unless he receives a pardon.







He got a break on his violation of an Order of Protection though. If he stays away from his ex, he gets that charge dismissed after six months. 




It seems odd that the judge would not have passed the case for a year to have that coincide with the no contact order he entered in the domestic battery case.



Federal law prohibits Soliman from this point on from ever having possession of a firearm.




Soliman has appealed the conviction, one he plead guilty to. Maybe he will argue he was mentally imbalanced when he entered that plea.


As we mentioned back in our January post, Soliman grabbed a knife and cut himself.  Photos provided in his criminal file show that to be the case.


That criminal files also revealed some startling information about Soliman. 

He likes to use nude photos of ex-girl friends or videos of sexual encounters with them to threaten them. 

Here is the narrative from a report back in 2017 that supports that assertion.
 


Similar threats were made in the latest matter. Soliman threatened to send photos and videos to his ex-girlfriends employer, the Little Rock School District.







The ex-girlfriend also took issue with the officers report narrative too.



The internal affairs investigator Sgt. Jarred McCauley states "the responding officers have a very narrow point of view"..."they don't have the full story".

Yet the reports the responding officer make can have a great impact.

The files LRPD provided also contained some text messages between Soliman and his ex-girlfriend. The messages deal a lot with Soliman's anger management issues.





LRPD provided videos of the incident, but they were so heavily edited they were useless. 

Those edited videos are part of the 3rd AFOIA Denial of Rights lawsuit filed against the city and LRPD.

The Arkansas Commission of Law Enforcement Standards and Training ("CLEST") told us that they have not received any information about Solimans' conviction.  

We sent files obtained about the internal investigation and criminal case to them.

They can start the decertification process without input from LRPD.

Stay tuned for updates.
