Where do LRPD take-home vehicles go? - Episode 43: Officer Ricky Wayne Harmon

OFFICER RICKY WAYNE HARMON DRIVES AN UNMARKED VEHICLE HOME

OFFICER RICKY WAYNE HARMON - LIKES TO DRINK BOOZE & DRIVE




In 2018 we spent $2,558,57 on fuel for Harmon's take home vehicle.



In 2017 we spent $1,072.21 on fuel for Harmon's take home vehicle.




LRPD and the city of Little Rock refused to provide us information regarding the city where the take-home cars go. So much for being transparent and open.

They provided it last year and you can read our post about that by clicking here.
Since they refuse to provide the information (the take home city is what we requested), we will post where these vehicles are actually going (their address which was not requested and is exempt under the AFOIA) and how much we pay for the fuel to provide transportation for these officers to drive to and from their homes each day.

More than half of all LRPD officers refuse to live in the city of Little Rock and be a true part of our community.



Many LRPD officers that have take-home vehicles use them to drive to and from off-duty jobs where they moonlight at security for merchants and direct traffic at churches on Sundays.

We believe this violates certain state laws and will be filing complaints with the Arkansas Ethics Commission concerning this illegal activity.


All the information used in this post is public information, readily available from the internet or from a Freedom of Information Request.   We used the interwebs in this instance.

Why are we giving questionable individuals like Harmon  a free ride to and from  their home in Lonoke to work as a mercenary officer when he has a history of driving while intoxicated?




Hamon's DWI incident was covered by our content sharing partner Corruption Sucks Blog.  

Watch the video of the Arkansas State Police stopping and arresting Harmon by clicking here.


Harmon lies to the Trooper when asked if he had been drinking alcoholic beverages (@12:42 in the video). That gets Harmon a spot on our LRPD Liars List. That fact along should have cost him his certification as a police officer.

He told the officer he was taking Paxil.


If that was true he had no business working "24/7" like he told the Trooper. 

Even more incredible is that LRPD installed an alcohol interlock device on the departmental pick-up truck Harmon was driving as a narcotics officer.

Harmon shot and killed a man back in 2004. He told internal investigators that he thought the victim had a gun. Turned out he was holding a screwdriver.

Had he been drinking before that homicide occurred? We will never know because LRPD will not release records about officer drug tests in connection with misdeeds.


In 2007 Harmon had a warrant out for him in Faulkner County for Disorderly Conduct for something that happened in Vilonia. AS in most cases with a law enforcement officers brush with the law the records vanish.

We don't need drunk, abusive, mercenary killer cops  on the public payroll here in Little Rock or anywhere else in the state.
