City : Fayetteville
County : Washington
State : Arkansas
Agency : Fayetteville PD
Officer(s) : Cpl. Stevon Grindstaff
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during traffic stop
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Fayetteville PD traffic-stopped Scotty Stacie and allege he backed up the vehicle during the traffic stop, causing the officer to shoot and kill him. Stacey was described by his friends as a “good guy”, a race car driver, someone who bothered nobody. Fayetteville PD claims Stacey landed in a field and reversed to try to get out when a deputy appeared behind him, claimed Stacey was “driving toward him” and shot and killed him in the moving vehicle. Police did not release their bodycam and dashcam videos and this is a still unproven police narrative. Stacey had been charged with personal drug possession and fleeing from police months before his death. He was well-known in the area and police may have targeted him because of old charges.
Officer Grindstaff was arrested on 03/11/2024 and charged with homicide.

Steven Kyle McMasters
Age :
Gender :Male
Race : White
Date : 10/21/2023
Location : McGough and Butler
City : Bay
County : Craighead
State : Arkansas
Agency : Bay PD
Officer(s) : Christopher Shull
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Around 11:15 p.m. on October 21, 2023, Bay PD Officer Shull informed dispatch that he was “in pursuit of a side-by-side.” Several minutes into it, Shull informed dispatch that he had hit the driver. In his next radio call, Shull mused that the vehicle “may be stolen” and he justified this assumption by stating that “it is brand new.” It is not known what type of vehicle it had been. Only 26 seconds later, Officer Shull again radio’d dispatch and announced “I just hit him. Dispatch. He wrecked out.”
Less than a minute later, Officer Shull was back on the radio, requesting an ambulance and then asking for a medical helicopter because McMasters was “bleeding from the nose and mouth.” A total of 80 seconds after the crash, he announced that McMasters was “10-7”, the code for "deceased."
The family of Steven Kyle McMasters disputes the officer’s remarks that the vehicle may be stolen which was the assumption that led Officer Shull to make the fatal decision to chase the vehicle on an apparent profiling assumption. Officer Shull then announced beer “near” the side-by-side, formulating the next accusation against the deceased motorist. The family strongly denies the claims about intoxication and has hired a lawyer.
Bay Police Chief declined to release information about the incident. The City of Bay has cited an ongoing investigation into their inability to remove the incident’s body and dash camera footage. The Arkansas State Police are currently involved in the investigation.
Bay PD Police Chief Keith Milam declined giving more information about the crash. He also refused to allow the City of Bay to investigate the bodycam and dashcam footage.
Chief Milam initially stated the officer would not be placed on leave for this incident. This was changed later when the case began being dissected in the media and Shull was then placed on paid administrative leave.
Chief Milam stated he could not comment because Arkansas State Police were investigating the critical incident. Arkansas State Police were questioned about this by media and said they were not aware of any investigation. Bodycam and dashcam allegedly exist and have again been requested by media but so far were met with the unwillingness of the Police Chief to share these records. This summary will be updated when more details become available.

City : Conway
County : Faulkner
State : Arkansas
Agency : Conway PD
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Medical emergency
Event : Died from medical emergency during police chase
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Conway PD said they encountered Williams during a domestic disturbance call reported at the McDonald’s on Oak Street in Conway around 11:44 a.m. where a man and woman were reported to have been fighting in a car in the parking lot. Williams exited the car and spoke to police when they arrived. They asked for his ID and he returned to the car, started rummaging through it and did not exit on command. Police pulled him from the vehicle. He started running. Officers found him behind a residence on Gum Street where he started showing signs of medical distress. He died in the hospital soon after.
Strangely, his autopsy was completed in December of 2023 and his death was ruled "accidental" while his sickle cell trait and alleged methamphetamine in his system were alleged to have contributed. This still leaves the main cause of death undisclosed trauma in police custody. Sickle cell trait is not a lethal condition, merely a trait that can exacerbate sickle cell crisis. While there was allegedly some meth in his system, it was not reported as leading cause of death. His cause of death was concealed by these findings by the coroner and remains an unknown "accident" while handcuffed in police custody.

City : Forrest City
County : St. Francis
State : Arkansas
Agency :
Officer(s) :
Cause of Death : Unknown
Event : Found dead in jail
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 29, 2023, Perry Gene Eaves Jr., a 42-year-old detainee at St. Francis County Jail in Forrest City, Arkansas, was found unresponsive in his cell approximately one hour after being detained. Earlier that day, Eaves sought medical care at the Forrest City Medical Center but was turned away. Refusing to leave the hospital due to severe distress and fear for his life, Eaves was arrested by Forrest City Police officers for trespassing.
Body camera footage revealed Eaves pleading for his life, repeatedly stating, “I am not trying to disobey… Let me live,” and “Please don’t let me die.” Despite visibly bleeding from his mouth, officers reassured him that he would "be fine" and dismissed his pleas, saying, “You’re a dumb***,” while laughing. Eaves retched, vomited, and begged to return to the hospital, stating, “I’m bleeding to death. Please help me live.” Instead, he was handcuffed, carried to a patrol car, and transported to the jail.
An attorney for Eaves’ family revealed that Eaves was dehydrated, became hypovolemic, and suffered a heart attack. Eaves’ family has filed a lawsuit against the St. Francis County Jail, alleging negligence and mistreatment. It remains unclear why Eaves was bleeding profusely, and the lack of immediate medical attention has raised serious questions about the actions of the officers involved.
