Police beat Bryant arrest for theft from Boys and Girls Club

Posted by Max Brantley on Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 11:24 AM

Busy day on the police beat in Bryant.

Channel 4 reports that the former finance director of the Bryant Boys and Girls Club has been arrested in the theft of almost $17,000 from the club.

Meanwhile, a Jeep that took off from a Bryant traffic stop led Bryant police and State Police on a chase from Bryant to freeways of Little Rock. He finally stopped, jumped out and attempted to run, but was collared. Maybe he got stymied by the lane shift at the "Big Rock" intersection.
