A child said something. Someone listened.

The decision to listen set in motion an investigation that ultimately resulted in Brandon Moore pleading guilty and receiving a total sentence of 50-years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. This case is an important reminder that protecting children sometimes means being willing to hear something that could change your own world.

We are grateful to the Northeast Arkansas Children's Advocacy Center and the Jonesboro Police Department for their work, and a special thank you to Managing Deputy Prosecutor Gina Nelson for her work in bringing this case to a resolution.

Listen. Take it seriously. Report it.

GOOD CASES START LONG BEFORE THE COURTROOM.

Our job isn't just prosecuting cases after an investigation ends. We also work with local law enforcement to help build stronger cases from the beginning.

This week, our Crittenden County Investigator Lauryn Dixon provided a lunchtime training refresher for officers with the West Memphis Police Department, covering discovery, probable cause, Miranda, and body-worn-camera evidence.

Training like this keeps the lines of communication open. It gives us a chance to hear what officers need from our office while sharing what prosecutors need to successfully take their investigations into the courtroom.

We're proud of Lauryn for taking the initiative and grateful to WMPD for investing the time to train with us.

Special thanks to The Depot Pizzeria for providing lunch and The Post for providing the space.

Strong cases require strong partnerships. And strong partnerships take work.

YOU CALLED. POLICE RESPONDED. JUSTICE WAS SERVED.

When concerned citizens saw dangerous driving, they didn’t ignore it—they called law enforcement. Those calls helped get an impaired driver off the road and ultimately led to a DWI 4th conviction and the maximum sentence of 6 years in prison.

To the citizens who spoke up: thank you. Public safety is a community effort, and your willingness to get involved can make all the difference.

COLD CASE SOLVED.

For years, the victim lived without knowing whether the man who sexually assaulted her would ever be held accountable. Law enforcement lived with an unsolved case and kept working for answers.

Now, that uncertainty is over.

Roy Nichols Jr. pleaded guilty to R**e and Second-Degree Sexual Assault and was sentenced to 30 years in the Arkansas Department of Correction.

The passage of time does not erase what happened—and it does not end our pursuit of justice.

Today, we honor the extraordinary courage of two young girls who bravely testified and told the truth about the abuse they endured.
Thank you to the Craighead County jury for their commitment to justice. Their verdict sends a clear message: those who harm children will be held accountable, and this community stands with victims who find the courage to come forward.
