ABC ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR BLASTS THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AREA ON I-630 - TRIES TO DITCH DOT HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER
 |
| ABC ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR AND SCOFFLAW DORALEE CHANDLER |
On May 28th, Arkansas DOT Highway Patrol Officer Latonieo Lawson was on I-630 in the construction zone near the John Barrow Road exit watching for speeders.
DOT has big flashing signs that indicate that the speed limit is 50 mph in the construction zone.
Officer Lawson clocked a vehicle going 70 mph.
He gave chase.
The driver of the vehicle, seeing the flashing blue lights attempted to evade capture by making some Grand Theft Auto like moves.
It didn't work.

Chandler was cited and charged with speeding and careless and prohibited driving.
It's not the first time Chandler has been cited for shady driving. Back in 2004 she was charged with crossing a median.
She used white privilege and being a lawyer with connections to get off that charge.
To further prove our point that Chandler is a scofflaw shyster, she has been sued for violations of rights under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
That case is still on-going.
Chandler once ran for a Circuit Court judge position in Faulkner County.
The Arkansas Times exposed her connections to that shady character and convicted felon Michael Morton and an illegal campaign contribution.
When she was a judicial candidate, she filed a lawsuit attempting to disqualify and opponent. That lawsuit was not successful.
We have submitted a request for video footage of her police chase, if available.
Stay tuned for updates.
***UPDATE 6/5/19***
As previously mentioned, we sent a FOI request to DOT for records regarding the traffic stop.
We received notice from a DOT staff attorney, Michael Todd Elder on June 4th that their response to our FOI request was ready

When our publisher went to pick up the records, Elder's secretary, Evelyn Allison, told him that he would have to sign a document in order to obtain the requested records.
Our publisher told Allison that the AFOIA statute had no requirement that a receipt or any other document had to be signed in order to pick up requested records.
Allison said she would have to call her boss.
A few minutes later, the DOT staff shyster Todd Elder came out and saw that our publisher was video recording.
Elder told our publisher that he did not have his permission to record or photograph him.
Our publisher told Elder that it was a public building and he did not have to have his permission to photograph or video record him.
Elder then said the receipt must be signed. Our publisher told him the same thing he told his secretary and that refusal to provide the requested documents would result in his ass being in court in seven days for a hearing on his denial of rights under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
Elder sullenly handed over the requested records.
The envelope provided to our publisher contained a DVD.
On it was a copy of the citation issued to Chandler and several video files.
Chandler was in court on June 3rd and pleaded guilty to both charges.
Judge Wayne Gruber postponed judgement and placed Chandler on six months probation.
Chandler only had to pay a $100 fine.
Any regular person would have paid at least $400 fine and taken defensive driving classes.
Here's a video that contains the footage of the traffic stop.

ABC BOARD LACKS DIVERSITY AND LEADERSHIP
 |
| THE ABC BOARD LACKS DIVERSITY AND IS WHITE AS A KLAN ROBE |
A recent visit to a meeting of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board would have been hilarious due to the antics resulting from lack of experienced leadership by the newly appointed chairman and lack of experience and knowledge of laws of the newly hired attorneys except for a startlingly discovery.
With the "retirement" of the only person of color on the board , Jean Hervey, the board is now 100% white.
We have personally observed the Board going after minority applicants and permit holders in the past and now that the last barrier has been removed, it will only get worse.

TAINTED ABC ENFORCEMENT DIRECTOR HAD TO LET ABC ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR TAKE HEAT IN COURT DUE TO HIS ISSUES WITH CREDIBILITY
 |
| TAINTED ABC ENFORCEMENT DIRECTOR BOYCE HAMLET - AFRAID TO APPEAR BEFORE JUDGE GRIFFIN AS HE ONCE TESTIFIED IN A CASE BEFORE JUDGE GRIFFIN THAT HE HAD ISSUES WITH CREDIBILITY AND TRUTHFULNESS.
The problem with having admitted liar Boyce Hamlet as ABC Enforcement Director, the one we have been bringing up since he was appointed, is causing the ABC and the citizens of Arkansas serious problems with Medical Marijuana becoming a reality in Arkansas.
Readers will recall that we exposed Hamlet getting hired and fired by the Arkansas State Police for cheating on an exam and then lying to ASP internal investigators multiple times.
We also exposed that Hamlet lied on job applications to cover up his hiring and firing by the ASP to obtain jobs in law enforcement he would not have been able to obtain had he told the truth and listed his employment and termination with the ASP on each job application he filed after his shameful and career ending escapade with the ASP.
Back in 2015, Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Mackie Pierce stated that Hamlet posed problems for the ABC being the ABC Enforcement Director due to his issues with truthfulness.
|
That finding by Judge Pierce and a case before Judge Griffin in 2016 in which Hamlet appeared as a witness and testified that he had issues with credibility and truthfulness is why ABC Administrative Director Mary Robin Casteel had to take all the blame for the failure of Hamlet's team of "elite" agents botching up the simple process of using Google Earth to verify that the five selected applications for Medical Marijuana cultivation facilities were the appropriate distance from a school or church.
So Casteel had to be the one take the heat for Hamlet and admit that ABC Enforcement agents failed to do their job because Hamlet was afraid of what would happen if he was the one on the stand before Judge Griffin.
Judge Griffin noted that the ABC played a huge part in his decision as they failed to follow their own procedures.
ABC
Enforcement agents routinely verify the distance from a proposed
alcoholic beverage permit and that same standard is uses in vetting
Medical Marijuana cultivation and dispensary permit applications. ABC
Enforcement agents use Google Earth as one method of checking out the
distance and have complained that is their only "tool".
So Casteel had to be the one take the heat for Hamlet and admit that ABC Enforcement agents failed to do their job because Hamlet was afraid of what would happen if he was the one on the stand before Judge Griffin.

Now the citizens of Arkansas that could benefit from Medical Marijuana can thank the Governor for appointing Hamlet and then letting him stay in the position once his tainted past was exposed.
Reports have been pouring in to us about connections between Hamlet and several of the individuals that submitted applications for a cultivation facility.
Stay tuned for updates.
