Asa's minions protest KAIT in Jonesboro

After KAIT refused to run the ad blaming Beebe for the Nick Wilson scandal, protesters showed up at the station.  Unable to reason with the mob, KAIT left the protesters to their own devices.  In an e-mail, however, Ron Miller told the Sun that station manager Ted Fortenberry called the cops.  Turns out this is false.  The Jonesboro Sun followed up with the various Craighead Cty. law enforcement agencies and the area 911 center.  No officers responded to the event.  Way to go Jonesboro Sun!
