MORE BAD APPLES AT LRPD - ANOTHER OFFICER CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE

"HANDSY" TAYLOR WAS ARRESTED FOR COPPING A FEEL.

Another Little Rock Police Officer has been arrested and charged with a criminal offense.  This time it's probationary officer Edward James "Handsy" Taylor, Jr.

Officer "Handsy" Taylor and his wingman, Odie Brown, were at Discovery Night Club getting their freak on and harassed at least three women by touching their breasts and buttocks. Taylor also dangled a bag of weed in their faces, in an attempt to entice them to party with him.

Taylor also flashed his badge to the women. Dumb move "Handsy".

When the women complained to the club security, they were kicked out.

Upon leaving the building, the woman noticed two off-duty LRPD officers working outside security, Sgt. Kenneth Thompson and Officer Kenneth Baker.  The women went over and reported to the officers what had happened.

Officer 'Handsy" Taylor lied about what happened and subsequently refused
to give a statement to detectives.

Officer "Handsy" Taylors lying and refusal to give a statement to detectives are violations of LRPF General Orders.

As a probationary employee, if Officer "Handsy" Taylor is fired, he cannot appeal his firing to the Civil Service Commission.

We suspect that Taylor will be fired. That's how you deal with probationary employees that make bone-headed decisions that puts the department in a bad light.

If he's not fired, he will probably resign.  That's what rogue cops do to keep their internal investigation file from the public. Unless LRPD recommends that their certification be revoked, these rogue officers can go to work for another law enforcement agency. 💩 

LRPD had little choice but to fire Ahmed Soliman, who was convicted of domestic battery and as a result of that conviction cannot posses a firearm. Click here to read our post about that psycho.

Officers Brandon "Butterball" Johnson resigned after he was charged with sexual assault. You can read our post about that lard-ass by clicking here and here.

Johnson was featured in an episode of our YouTube series, Little Rock Police Gone Wild.

Officer Evan Howell was charged with assault. You can read about him by clicking here.

The list goes on. There is a thin blue line separating cops from thugs. An we will be exposing all of them.

Stay tuned.





 

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.

OUR FECKLESS AUTOCRATIC LEADER - MAYOR FRANKENSTEIN SCOTT

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". 

 

INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATOR - SGT. JARRED McCAULEY

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. 

VACATION PAYOUTS ARE CASH COWS FOR CITY EMPLOYEES

This list represents payouts for unused vacation or PTO (personal time off) the city of Little Rock paid to current and retiring employees.

Former Mayor Stodola has been left hanging with his $220k payout as the board has yet to take it up at any meeting this month.

You night ask how can these city employees be able to roll over unused time from year to year.

Corruption and mismanagement by City Manager Bruce Moore.

 

WHERE IS ALL THE CHATTER ABOUT AN ABSENT WHITE CITY BOARD MEMBER?

When both Ward 2 Director Ken Richardson and Ward 1 Director Erma Hendrix , both black, missed some board meetings folks were screaming they needed to be replaced.

At-large Director Joan Adcock has missed all of the meetings of the board in the new year and not one individual has raised an eyebrow or suggest she be replaced.

Chew on that.

IS ACTING LRPD CHIEF HAYWARD FINKS TOO DUMB TO BE CHIEF?

ACTING LRPD CoP HAYWARD FINKS - TOO DUMB TO BE CHIEF?

We obtained all the applications for the open LRPD Chief of Police Position. We found that three active LRPD officers have applied for the position, Assistant Chief's Alice Fulk and Hayward Finks along with patrolman Ethan Williams.

Finks was hired by LRPD in 1988 and Fulk in 1992 . Williams was first hired in 2005 and he quit in 2013 to attend college; he rejoined in 2017.

ALICE FULK

ETHAN WILLIAMS

In Finks' application packet there is a letter in which he makes reference that he had attached a resume. Fink's resume was not included in the response the city provided to our FOI request.

So we attempted to obtain a copy of Fink's missing resume. We were not successful.

We noticed and odd coincidence in the files we obtained. Take a look at Finks' letter again.

Now look at the one from Fulk. 

We find it too coincidental that the letterhead is similar, same blue color used for both. Did Finks and Fulk have the same secretary type their letter for them?

Did the secretary try and sabotage Finks? 

Did Finks intentionally not submit one so that he could look at Fulk's and try and match it?

Or as we suspect, is Finks too dumb to realize that he forgot to include his resume if he actually had one prepared.

Stay tuned for updates.

***UPDATE - 01/16/18***

We sent an email to the city of Little Rock Human Resources Department about Finks' missing resume.  They told us that they did not receive it. We then sent an email to Finks asking about it and he referred us to the HR department. We responded and pointed out that our email had our request to them and their response. We never heard back from him. 

We also received information that Finks, like all other applicants, had to fill out an online application and upload a resume. 

Finks did not understand our simple question and request. He tried to wiggle out and told us to talk to HR about the "application process" when we did not ask about that , we just wanted to know what happened to his resume.

Finks is just like his former boss, that befouled POS Kenton Tremar Buckner.

We don't need a Buckner clone as our new CoP. 
 

WHITE-RUN BOARD BREAKS TRADITION TO AVOID APPOINTING A BLACK VICE MAYOR

The white majority Little Rock Board of Directors voted Tuesday night in an executive session to recycle Ward 7 director B.J. Wyrick to be Vice Mayor in order to keep Ken Richardson from getting the position. Wyrick was Vice Mayor from January 2000 until December 2001.

The board has a tradition that a member with tenure that has not held the position of Vice Mayor is usually the one to be selected. 

Neither Ken Richardson or Erma Hendrix have ever held that position. Both are black.

Capi Peck, who is white, is the newest member of the board has never held that position either.

This is a racist board, as Director Hendrix is fond of saying, and you can do some research and you will find that no proposed ordinance put forth by Hendrix or Richardson has ever gotten enough votes to pass. That is institutional racism and those old decrepit white directors, and Doris Wright (who most always votes with the whites) cannot offer any other explanation than institutional racism.

It's time to sign the petitions to recall these ancient assholes and get this city  on moving forward.

We will go into each board member with great detail and give you some information about them you won't find anywhere else.

Juicy stuff is on the way. Grab some popcorn and get ready.

MAYOR SCOTT ASKS LRPD FOR 24/7 SECURITY DETAIL AFTER RECEIVING DEATH THREATS

MAYOR SCOTT WANTS A 24/7 SECURITY DETAIL PROVIDED FOR HIM AT WORK & HOME

We received a tip that Mayor Scott asked City Manager Bruce Moore to have LRPD provide a 24/7 security detail for protection after receiving death and other threats.

MAYOR SCOTT & CITY MANAGER BRUCE MOORE AT SCOTT'S FIRST BOARD MEETING AS MAYOR

A spokesman for Mayor Scott confirmed that in an off-air telephone conversation during the Black Focus show on the JoyNetRadio.com today (it will be a topic of discussion on the show tomorrow from 12 - 2pm).

The spokesman stated that Scott's stand on the no-knock raids, wanting to establish a citizens review committee and other issues (especially the LRFOP) had made him a target. 

We also learned that Mayor Scott took over the office suite that the City Manager was in due to concerns about "too much" accessibility in the office that the previous mayors occupied.

Stay tuned for more information as this is a breaking story.

***Correction***

One of our city hall sources advised that Moore has not been evicted from his office. Work is being done on the Sister Cities Conference Room to turn it into a new office for Mayor Scott.
