New Holly Grove Police Chief Resigns Monday June 04, 2007 6:52pm Posted By: Scott Munsell
KATV
Holly Grove - Gunshots, a break-in and the attempted firebombing of two police cars in Holly Grove this weekend has led to the resignation of the town's new police chief--only days after the city council fired the former chief.

The city council fired former chief Jason Johnston after a string of suspected arsons in the Monroe County town. Now with the new chief gone, Holly Grove finds its two-officer police force unmanned.

Early Sunday morning, the town awoke to find itself vandalized again. Officials say someone broke into a local store owned by Mayor Lula Tyler and the new police department. Officials say someone also fired six shots into the north side of city hall and tried to blow up the town's two police cars.

The mayor describes the recent vandalism as horrible. Another resident, Wayne Endsley, says, "you'd have to be stupid not to be scared or want any part of it."

The mayor said she planned to meet with the Monroe County Sheriff's Department Monday to ask for help.

A Crime Spree In Holly Grove
Reported by: Melissa Hayes, KARK 4 News
Sunday, Jun 3, 2007 @10:57pm
A small town in Arkansas is facing some big problems.

For months now, random acts of violence and vandalism have rocked Holly Grove.

Just this weekend, a police car was shot at, another police car was set on fire, and the windows of a store owned by the town's mayor were shot out: all of that comes on the heels of several school arsons around Holly Grove and the firing of the police chief due to a lack of community confidence in him to solve the crime spree.

If you have any information that can help, you're asked to call the Monroe County Sheriff's Department.
