Where do LRPD take-home vehicles go? Episode 58: Lt. Andre Dyer

Lt. Andre Dyer drives a marked vehicle to his home in Mabelvale


LRPD Lt. Andre Dyer



In 2017 we spent $1,305.98 on fuel for Dyer's take-home vehicle.



In 2018 we spent $4,297.22 on fuel for Dyer's take-home vehicle. 




In 2019 we spent $3,287.91 on fuel for Dyer'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 previously 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. Those are mercenary officers.
 
 
 
 Most all of the LRPD take-home vehicles go to homes outside of Little Rock.
 
 
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.

Dyer was bitten by a fellow K9 officer back in 2015. 

The dog bite caused him to fire his weapon.




Dyer sued the city over disclosure of exempt information by CLR Human Resources  employee Stacey Witherell.

LRPD Lt. Michael Ford charged with discharging a weapon and obstructing governmental operations at his Maumelle residence

LRPD mouthpiece Lt. Michael "Lil' Bang" Ford had a blast NYE and caught charges

LRPD Public Information Officer Lt. Michael "Lil' Bang" Ford, Jr. was charged with two criminal offenses by Maumelle Police after a neighbor Martin Marler , a former Pulaski County Sheriff's Deputy, witnessed him firing 40 to 60 rounds from an assault rifle in his back yard and call 911.

Marler is currently employed as a criminal fraud investigator with the State Insurance Department.



Here is the report from the incident.









Both Maumelle and Little Rock Police Departments tried to keep this information from becoming public.
 
When we initially asked Maumelle PD about the incident they denied responding to any calls at Ford's residence since October 2019 when they responded to a false alarm.

Yeah right.

The report reveals Lt. Ford's lack of honesty when caught in the act of firing a weapon.

He refuses multiple times to identify himself.

He smarts off when the Maumelle officers ask him about firing into the air as many times as he did and how dangerous that is.

Sure he does, he and his group at LRPD put out that information.


While Ford was shooting at imaginary dragons or whatever in the sky, his higher ups and boss at LRPD were responding to similar situations in the most dangerous city in Arkansas and of its size in the USA.



"Lil' Bang" violated numerous LRPD General Orders, Rules and Regulations in his interaction with Maumelle Police Officers.

If that had been him responding to a similar call in Little Rock, we imagine he would have arrested and taken into custody an individual acting in that manner.

Or he might have shot and killed them.

He's done that twice.




We suspect he was suspended after this incident as that would explain why Lt. McClanahan, the individual that previously held Ford's PIO position sent this email out on January 9th.



We sent a request for comments to Chief Keef Humphrey. 




He refused to respond.

That no surprise as his bucket has a big fucking hole in it and it gets larger with each passing day.
 
LRPD has experienced a sharp increase in illegal officer behavior under the Humphrey administration of the department.  

We report on these matters weekly.

We exposed over 50 LRPD officers that have serious issues with honesty and credibility (click here to view the LRPD Liar's List story).

70% of all LRPD officers are mercenary cops in that they refuse to live in the city that employs them.

80% of the white LRPD officers refuse to live in Little Rock.

The department and the Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police has stated that most all LRPD officers choose to not live in Little Rock is because of crime and schools.

Even the wife of the chief chooses not to live in Little Rock and has remained in Norman, OK.

Pathetic. 

Ford does not seem to be affected by this incident as he posted a photo of him clubbing on January 3rd on his own Facebook page.




We suspect the mouthy female that yelled at the Maumelle officer was Ford's on and off wife. Dominique Michelle (Henderson) Ford.

We say on and off wife because they were originally married on September 25, 2004.





They divorced in 2010.




 




Maybe a lawsuit filed against his wife, who was employed as a nurse at St. Vincent, had something to do with the divorce.





 The Ford's went through a Non-Judicial Foreclosure in 2011 over a loan default (LRPD departmental policies and rules frowns on that).








They must have ironed out their differences as they remarried in 2014.






They purchased the home in Maumelle in 2015, but things must have been shaky, or they didn't want to have liens attached to the home as it was only titled in his name.










Ford recently attended a class at the FBI for police officers.


He posted about that on his Facebook page too.




Ford and cops like him is the reason LRPD has a shitty reputation and a lack of respect from the citizens of Little Rock.

City leadership needs to clean house at LRPD from the top down.

Stay tuned for updates.
