Law Walnut Ridge judge facing discipline retires

Posted by Max Brantley on Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 1:37 PM

The Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission announced today that it had dismissed a pending complaint against District Judge Larry Hayes of Walnut Ridge. At the same time, it announced he had decided to retire effective Dec. 31 and had agreed not to seek future office as a judge.

Hayes had been elected to a new term beginning next year. His retirement means the governor will have to appoint someone to the vacancy.

The dismissal means the nature of the complaint, which arose in 2011, wasn't revealed.

Re: The guns and Bass Pro Shops open line

Martha Shoffner, facing federal prosecution in a kickback case, has resigned as Arkansas State treasurer.

I hinted earlier that evidence was mounting that the securities salesman who provided confidential information to the FBI was Steele Stephens, the broker who began enjoying a huge share of Treasurer Martha Shoffner's bond business in 2010.

Officers with North Little Rock police responded to a call about a shooting at Verizon Arena this morning around 11 a.m. and found two people shot.

Our news partner Channel 4 has a news story that deserves repetition in full. More national headlines for the small people of Arkansas should follow directly.

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin might want to reconsider his earlier decision not to include Republican Rep. Loy Mauch on the list of Republican candidates he'd asked not to use his campaign contributions, having read some of what they'd written.
