LONOKE, Arkansas (AP) -- The mayor was arrested in a corruption probe, the police chief is accused in a drug-making scheme, and the prosecutor says the chief's wife took prisoners from jail to have sex with them -- and more arrests could be coming. It's a lot for a town of fewer than 4,300 residents to stomach in one day. "We've just got a tough time ahead of us right now," said Assistant Police Chief Sean O'Nale, who is serving as interim chief while Chief Jay Campbell is suspended with pay. The chief and his wife, the mayor and two bail bondsmen were arrested Monday and freed on bail. Mayor Thomas Privett continued his normal duties Tuesday and called a special city council meeting for Wednesday evening to deal with personnel issues. Campbell said he was wrongly accused, and lawyers for the others said their clients were innocent. Prosecutor Lona McCastlain dismissed criticism that the investigation was politically motivated and said her work isn't done. "This investigation is ongoing and the state has not ruled out that there may be additional charges filed and that there may be additional suspects," McCastlain said.

Was this in Hope?
Clintonistas?
Do they use aliases? Anybody know?
Less than 150 miles away per MapQuest.
Girls, just wanna have fuh-hun,
Girls just wanna have fun.
An honest mistake.
It just sounded so Klitoonish that I leapt to conclusions.
It appears to be about 25 miles east of Little Rock on I-40.
Chief's Wife Bust's Rocks....film at 11.
Hmmm. That's only about 15 minutes away - if you're being escorted to the next cocaine/bimbo party in a speeding State Trooper car - hey, wait a minute!
The chief and his wife, the mayor and two bail bondsmen were arrested Monday and freed on bail.
The police chief's wife, eh?
Sort of a new wrinkle to the role playing of "the escaped convict and the warden's wife."
That was a seriously hideous movie, BTW.
:-)
Just another day in Arkansas, folks!
Did you watch it to the bitter end?
It was billed to me as a dark comedy. (rolling eyes) I was sooo lied to.
In fact, I need to remind the person that made me watch it that it was a seriously hideous movie and I'm still unhappy that I watched it. (shudder)
"Seems like there'd have to be Clintons involved, yet I fail to spot the name."
Could have been Roger the chief's wife took out of jail to fool around with.
That name is familiar. Isn't there an ammunition or powder plant there?
I did not make you watch that movie..............
