Following last week’s dual tragedies in Boston and West, TX, many Arkansans might feel compelled to open their hearts and wallets to help the victims.

Before you do, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel warns you to beware of scams.

McDaniel says some “callous and opportunistic con artists” might use the events to take advantage of unsuspecting consumers.

A Paragould woman’s arrest on drug charges marks a milestone for a newly formed Kennett police unit.

Elizabeth Friar, 22, has the distinction of being the first arrest made by the Street Crimes Unit which was implemented two weeks ago by Chief James Paine, according to an email from Lt. Tim Trowbridge, public information officer for the Kennett Police Department. 

According to Trowbridge, the unit was working surveillance detail Wednesday when they learned of a possible drug transaction in the parking lot of a business in the 1500-block of First Street.
