UALR SHUTS DOWN CAMPUS AFTER SHARK SIGHTED IN FLOOD WATERS

UALR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS CAUTIOUSLY APPROACH SHARK IN DITCH

The University of Arkansas-Little Rock shut down its campus at around 4:00 p.m. today due to a large shark being discovered in a drainage ditch.

UALR biology professor Dr. Marco Polo told us that finding a shark after flooding is not so unusual.  Dr. Polo stated that during heavy rains, water floods from the Arkansas River and sometimes sharks are whisked out of the river into nearby streams and creeks.

The UALR Department of Public Safety responded with some tranquilizer darts in an attempt to capture the shark so it could be put on display in a large tank in front of the Donaghey Student Center.

UALR Chancellor Joel E. Anderson, who is retiring in June,  released a statement shortly after closing the campus and cancelling evening classes. "Hopefully the shark can be safely and humanely captured and not be injured.  Having it on display will complete my legacy." 

PULASKI COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE COWBOY UP'S WITH NEW GEAR

PULASKI COUNTY SHERIFF DOC HOLLADAY SHOWS OFF NEW WESTERN GEAR FOR DEPUTIES

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office is changing up it's uniforms at an estimated cost of $215,000. They are spending $24,633.58 for cowboys hats (120 Stetson black felt hats at $155 each) and 142 Resistol straw hats (at $42.49 each); $6,043.20 for 120 hat covers (at $50.36 each); $10,199 for 120 black Roper boots with spurs (at $84.99 each) and $179,800 for 120 Colt Peacemaker pistols (at $1,499 each).

Sheriff Doc Holladay said "the money was available and we needed to improve our image."  It's the third image revamp Holladay has instituted since he was elected in 2006. He changed the uniform color from dark blue to tan, the vehicle colors from white with blue stripes to black and gold.

"I wanted our uniforms to resemble those from the Andy Griffith Show to make folks feel more comfortable with us," said Holladay. "The black and gold for the cars is from a tiger. Tigers are bad ass animals and we wanted to project that we are bad asses too," quipped Holladay.

Deputies say the new gear makes they feel better about themselves and more like real lawmen.

DIRECTOR AT-LARGE ADCOCK

The identification would include a picture, name, address, birth date. The service would benefit the homeless and those without legal U.S. documentation, Adcock said.

“The people we’ve talked to said, ‘This would give us an identity, show we belong, that we are a part of the city,’” she said.

The ID card could not be used to purchase tobacco or alcohol products.

A homeless man we spoke to about the city issued ID cards had this to say about usefulness of the cards. "That damn card would not be worth nuthin' if I couldn't get some smokes or a pint", quipped a familiar street-corner panhandler that goes by the name "Dirty Dan".

HUTCHINSON INDICATES THE SIZE OF TRUMP'S TOOL

Hutchinson, in a press briefing told reporters that when he was head of the DEA, he met Trump at a sporting event and they ended up in the men's room at the same time. "I glanced over at Trump while he were standing at one of those long urinals, I saw that he didn't have much to work with", Hutchinson remarked.

Hutchinson then stated that he had seen Rubio's willy as well and "it is much larger than Trump's."

Reports asked Hutchinson if penis size was a factor in choosing a president.  Hutchinson responding by saying "size matters".

When contacted for a comment, Trump stated "my penis, which by the way is named The Zamboni Baloney, is more than adequate. Ask Rubio's wife and she will tell you."

NINJAS ATTACK ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY - NE AR LAW ENFORCEMENT UNPREPARED & UNEQUIPPED FOR MARTIAL ARTS ARMY

NATIONAL NEWS MEDIA REPORTS ASU CAMPUS ON LOCKDOWN

Reports of active shooters at Arkansas State University put the campus on lockdown on Valentine's Day.

Hundred's of area law enforcement and the Arkansas National Guard mobilized to respond to the threat.

Early reports of the incident had law enforcement unable to locate the gunmen,
then a post on social media provided a clue.

RADICAL NINJAS POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA THEY ARE ATTACKING ASU

A group of radical ninjas posted on several social media sites that they had invaded the NE Arkansas campus and were attacking the Red Wolves.  There was no reason given as to why they were attacking.

ASU Campus Police Department spokesman, Lt. Dan Taylor told reporters that discovering that it was ninjas and not shooters explained why they could not find anyone on the campus. "Ninjas are trained to be sneaky and stealthy." Lt. Dan added. "we are not equipped or have any training to deal with this kind of threat."

ASUPD OFFICER LT. DAN DECKED OUT IN FULL RIOT GEAR

After about an hour or so when no trace of the ninjas could be found the lockdown was lifted.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson is seeking federal funds to prepare state law enforcement agencies to be able to properly respond to future ninja attacks. 

LITTLE ROCK PLANS TO TRAP AND RELEASE STERILIZED DOGS AND CATS TO REDUCE SHELTER POPULATION

LR ANIMAL SERVICE MANAGER TRACY ROARK WANTS TO GET ANIMALS OUT OF THE SHELTER AND BACK ON THE STREETS

Tracy Roark, manager at Little Rock Animal Village, believes cat colonies and dog villages are the next step for Little Rock.

“I’m looking for an answer…I've been doing this for 11 years and we have not put a dent in this problem.”

Roark is hoping to help people understand what exactly cat colonies and dog villages are.

“Feral cat colonies and dog villages allow people to feed and take care of sterilized kitties and doggies within an area to reduce them breeding and stop the overpopulation.”

But some, like the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, worry the colonies will cause more problems than they solve, and fear the effects on other wildlife.

“It’s not really getting rid of the problem, the problem is the cats and dogs being there in the first place. They're not domesticated anymore they're feral."

They're going to go out and they're really going to work on our bird population and small critters like squirrels . They can eat up to 50 birds a year, and about 20 squirrels” said Keith Stephens with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.

Stephens added, "these colonies and villages will provide a food source for predators, such as coyotes, which are growing nuisance in Little Rock." 

Some Little Rock Board of Director's have expressed concerns about where these cat colonies and dog villages will be placed.

Director Doris Wright, of Ward 6 told us" my constituents are concerned that these animals will lower property values and poop everywhere. They are also concerned about barking and cat fights". Wright added, "if you think more apartments being built right next to nice neighborhoods in west Little Rock upset people, wait until Animal Services starts dumping dogs and cats out there."

WRIGHT HAS CONCERNS ABOUT NOISE AND POOP

Little Rock has an ordinance requiring animal poop be scooped or fines can be assessed.

Roark hopes to work with other organizations to trap, fix and let the feral cats and dogs back into localized colonies and villages, that don't grow.

"It does not get bigger because everyone is sterilized, plus the food source is there and you create a zone where you have sterilized cats and dogs," Roark claims.

He says other cities across the county have done this, and he hopes Little Rock will be the next in line.

"That would be the whole program, that they would have a place to go," Roark said.

Roark will soon hold a public meeting to get input on his idea.

We ran a story back in 2014 when Mayor Mark Stodola announced the Little Rock Zoo was replacing the elephant exhibit with an adopt-a-dog village to help reduce the number of dogs the city had in the shelter. That idea resulted in a public outcry and a three month long protest by PETA in from of the mayor's residence.

FIGHT ERUPTS IN DEPOSITION - DENNIS MILLIGAN DEFENDS WIFE FROM PROFANITY

MILLIGAN RESORTS TO FISTICUFFS TO PROTECT HIS WIFE FROM HEARING PROFANITY

Arkansas State Treasurer Dennis Milligan sparred during a deposition today with Luther Sutter, a Benton attorney.

According to a report filed with the Little Rock Police Department, Sutter walked in the room where the deposition was to take place and was overheard to utter the word "shit" in his telephone conversation.

Milligan, jumped up and yelled "I don't appreciate you cussin in front of my wife", Sutter responded saying "I don't give a rat's ass about your old lady". 

Sutter's comments so enraged Milligan that he tore off his shirt and told Sutter "I'm gonna whoop your sorry ass", whereby Sutter told Milligan to "bring it on" and tore off his shirt.

The fight ended before any blows where exchanged when Milligan grabbed his chest and asked for an ambulance.  Once paramedics arrived Milligan refused treatment and said he thought "it was only gas".

Witnesses were not certain who actually started the ruckus, but all agreed that Milligan was the first one to rip off his shirt.  The police report quoted Mrs. Milligan as saying "Sutter started all the shit".

No word about a rematch at this time.
