MORE EVIDENCE SURFACES ABOUT EMPLOYEE IN FAULKER COUNTY PROSECUTING ATTORNEY'S OFFICE USING HER POSITION FOR PERSONAL BENEFIT AND GAIN

 

APRIL MATHIS - WILL HER CRAZY ANTICS RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS???

We posted a story back in August about shenanigans in the office of the now former Prosecuting Attorney for the 20th Judicial District of Arkansas, Cody Hiland, that involved his case coordinator April Mathis.

That post detailed how April Mathis used her position to obtain sealed records from another state under the false pretense that it was for a criminal case in Arkansas. Turns out it was sealed records from the divorce case of the current wife of her ex-husband.

The Arkansas Ethics Commission has an on-going investigation into a compliant about that very thing and the search for a Special Prosecuting Attorney to review the matter began several months ago - more on that in an up-coming post.

Mathis was demoted from her position as Case Coordinator to that of Hot Check Coordinator in March after complaints about her illegal activity were made to Hiland.

  

News came in recently that she was given the choice to resign or be fired. She chose to resign.

 

The straw that broke the camels back was her latest attempt to use her position in the Prosecuting Attorney's Office for her personal benefit and gain.

According to the report, Nancy Eastham (Deputy Circuit Clerk) was with April Mathis during this kooky episode. Eastham and Mathis spent hours sending emails to each other about personal matters using their work email accounts. A post about Eastham and a threat she made is coming soon.

 

ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE 10 MONTHS TOO LATE ON STORY ABOUT GIF SHENANIGANS - CALLED OUT BY ARKANSAS TIMES FOR FAILURE TO CREDIT BGA BLOG PUBLISHER

MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR A NAME CHANGE FOR THE PAPER

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette ran a story by their top notch investigative reporter, Lisa Hammersly, on the front page Sunday.

The paper made it seem like Hammersly rooted out previously unknown shenanigans in the sketchy GIF pork barrel program. Wrong.

We posted the same information, with documents, back on Sunday, January 15, 2017.

We were pleasantly surprised to see the Arkansas Times point out that the information that top-notch investigative reporter Linda Hammersly was staking claim to uncovering had actually been uncovered 10 months before by this blog and noted in stories by the Arkansas Times.

Brantley also said this:

Perhaps Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporters should follow our blogs so they can keep on top of breaking investigative stories.
