POCAHONTAS, Ark. (KAIT) - If you’ve driven through Pocahontas, you’ve likely seen a cemetery that has been around for centuries.
The Masonic Cemetery has had its fair share of financial struggles over the past few years. Mayor Keith Sutton said the cost of maintenance got to be too high for the Masonic-owned cemetery.
“It’s always been an issue with the funding,” Sutton said.
The funding led to concern from the community. Broken tree limbs and unreadable tombstones led to social media pushback.

RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT) - Many sheriffs and police departments have been out in the elements helping their communities.
Randolph County Sheriff Kevin Bell says the focus this week was not only to protect, but also to support communities.
“Crime doesn’t stop just because there’s snow on the ground,” Sheriff Bell said. “The biggest issue is always travel, getting around in some of these remote areas.”
Bell said getting around in the hilly areas of Randolph County was a struggle at times, but fortunately, the office did not run into any issues.
