Trooper Found Violating Policy in Arrest | Little Rock News

An Arkansas State Police trooper was found to have violated department policy during an August arrest — failing to identify himself, using excessive profanity, and physically assaulting an 18-year-old woman by throwing her to the ground and punching her in the face. Dash cam footage captured the incident, and while the trooper received counseling, he wasn’t placed on administrative leave — a decision sparking backlash from lawmakers. The state police director initially agreed to address the case but later declined public comment amid a pending lawsuit filed by the victim. The department insists all force incidents are investigated, but won’t disclose further details due to legal proceedings.
