LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Little Rock’s police chief could lose his badge and
gun if the city doesn’t fully reinstate an officer fired for fatally shooting a
black motorist. A Pulaski County judge on Tuesday found the city in contempt of
his order to reinstate Officer Charles Starks, who had been fired over the fatal
shooting of Bradley Blackshire last year. The judge said the city faces a $10,0
daily fine if it doesn’t comply. Starks’ attorneys last week argued the city
wasn’t complying since Starks was placed on a “relieved of duty” status and
wasn’t given his badge or gun back.
