Members of the Little Rock Board of Directors on Tuesday agreed to pay $245,000 of a $490,000 settlement to resolve two lawsuits filed in 2020 against former Police Chief Keith Humphrey and the city.
The city of Little Rock reversed course Friday evening and released the findings of a police internal review into why the Police Department failed to release information to the public about a pursuit of a 12-year-old driver that ended with the death of a 14-year-old passenger.
Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott on Wednesday named Health Helton as the city s new chief of police, promoting from the ranks a 26-year veteran of the department who Scott said aligns with his vision for law enforcement and crime reduction in the capital city.
