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.

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.

Has the city of Little Rock computer network been hacked and compromised? Evidence indicates it has


We  receive emails from individuals that work for the city of Little Rock on a daily basis (most often the city attorney  and the inept FOI coordinator) and yesterday was no different.

In a string of emails from the FOI coordinator that contained information about the budget that we requested months ago, records that the city was extremely reluctant to provide, we spotted a suspicious email. 





We have been emailing back and forth with city officials and employees for years and have never known they to use third-party system to securely send emails or information.

In fact the city of Little Rock is light years behind in any type of technology. 

So we forwarded the suspicious email to city attorney Tom Carpenter.

We must point out that Carpenter is a self-proclaimed "luddite", but you would think that if the city used such a sysytem, the city attorney would be using it to send documents to others when dealing with settlements or other secret matters they are often involved in.

As we suspected, Carpenter was not familiar with the use of the third-party system and he forwarded the suspicious email to Randy Foshee, the IT Director.


We received an email from Foshee today in which he indicated he  had no knowledge of that third-party systems use.  


Of course our publisher did not click on the link, he was involved in Corporate Security and taught classes on phishing attempts and data security.

Hackers use man-in-the-middle attacks and frequently piggyback phishing emails to fool unwary individuals and gain access to their computer network or individual device.

We urge the city to take precautionary measures to inform the public about this suspicious activity (as we are).

WHERE DO LRPD TAKE-HOME VEHICLES GO? - EPISODE 42: LT. ORA JENKINS

LT. ORA JENKINS DRIVES AN UNMARKED VEHICLE HOME

LT. ORA MAE JENKINS

Notice that Jenkins is a registered voter in Camden, AR. But she does not claim a homestead exemption on that property.


 But she does claim a homestead exemption of real estate in Little Rock.




Jenkins is committing voter fraud and breaking Arkansas laws by being registered and voting in a location where she does not reside.

This is a serious problem for Jenkins and LRPD.


In 2018 we spent $1,221.36 on fuel for Jenkins' vehicle.



In 2017 we spent $1,153.24 on fuel for Jenkins' vehicle.

Harrelson was suspended back in 2015 in part for misuse of his LRPD take-home vehicle.



 


















Officers like Harrelson have no place in the LRPD ranks or on any other police department.
