The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ran a story today that detailed the lawsuit filed to obtain the Arkansas State Police investigative file on Boyce Hamlet. The story also outlines claims that Hamlet hid his employment, and termination for misconduct, with the Arkansas State Police which allowed him to obtain law enforcement positions which he might not have obtained had he truthfully reported it.

If the file had simply been turned over (as it ultimately will be), this matter would not be receiving all the attention and media coverage it is now receiving. Our thanks to Attorney General Leslie Rutledge for making this matter a public concern and getting the information about Hamlet out in the open.
