A top executive at PBS was arrested and booked on drug charges after he was pulled over by law enforcement officials in Arkansas.
Michael Hibblen, director of public affairs at Arkansas PBS, was arrested after Pulaski County deputies allegedly found methamphetamine in his car during a traffic stop earlier this week, authorities said.
Deputies pulled Hibblen over around 9 p.m. on Monday on Interstate 40 westbound after clocking him at 80 mph in a 60 mph zone, according to an arrest report obtained by KATV-TV.
The longtime journalist told deputies he was heading home after dropping off a friend at a gas station near the Prothro Junction exit, police said.
Hibblen consented to a search of his vehicle. Deputies then discovered what they described as “crystal-like shards” in a cupholder that they suspected was methamphetamine, the report said.
He was taken into custody and booked into the Pulaski County Jail on charges of speeding and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, a Class D felony.
The car was impounded, and the suspected meth was sent to the Arkansas Crime Lab for analysis, deputies said.
Arkansas PBS confirmed Hibblen’s arrest in a statement Wednesday, calling it a “personnel matter that this agency takes seriously.”

The following program is brought to you courtesy of methamphetamine.
Methamphetamine - not just for dinner.
Jesus wept.
I’m not at all surprised.
Police said the banjo music playing was a dead giveaway away…..
Was the drug found in route to a biden family member ?
The rot goes deep
“... he was heading home after dropping off a friend at a gas station...” ?
Isnt meth popular with the sex-drug crowd?
I am guessing the "friend" was an underage male prostitute.
But I only say that because this man is a PBS executive.
I know that many people get caught up in that poison. How tragic. What you don’t know can indeed hurt you.
Why would an Arkansas broadcasting station even have a “Director of Public Affairs”, much less one who’s a druggie. Where I worked (before retiring), “directors” were competent executives, not publicity hungry druggies using company funds to promote “public affairs”.
Send it to a lab? Don’t they have field testing kits? Ya know, break the vile and if the liquid turns blue……..
Chemsex practitioner dropping his hookup off at the gas station after he was done using him?
He consented to the search, something he likely would not have done if he knew there were drugs in the car.
It's hard for me to imagine that a PBS executive is a tweaker...meth is problematic when it comes to things like keeping a job.
I'm not favorably disposed toward the left, mind you, but something about this story doesn't add up for me. Makes me wonder whether 1) the "crystals" were planted, or 2) the material wasn't meth and the analysis lab gave the cops the results they clearly wanted.
Both of these things have happened before.
