Good afternoon, I want to start by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. There will be no weekly report next week due to the holidays, and I am posting this week's report a day early. I hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with family and friends and remembers the reason for the season. As we approach the start of a new year, I want to thank everyone for the support you have shown us at the Sheriff's Office. Next, I want to thank all of my employees here at the Sheriff

Good morning, I'm happy to report that on Wednesday, we held our third annual Shop with A Cop at the Fordyce Walmart. We had 39 kids participate this year, which is a new record. This is a worthy program that I have been involved in for over 20 years. I want to personally thank everyone who donated to this program for making it a huge success. You know who you are. Each child could spend $150.00 to select anything they wanted or needed for Christmas. A special shoutout to the

Good morning, I hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit. I want to start out by letting everyone know we are still taking donations for our shop with a cop event. While the registration cutoff has passed, we can still accept any donations up until December 10th, no matter how small. We have almost 40 children registered to participate at this time. On a more serious note, I want to dispel some rumors circulating on social media. Not a week goes by without someone ask

Good morning, This week's report is coming to you early due to the Thanksgiving holiday. We at the Dallas County Sheriff's Office wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Please enjoy and spend time with loved ones and be thankful for the many blessings we have. I know I'm blessed beyond measure and never take it for granted. The weekend did not begin well at all. Deputies responded to a side-by-side rollover accident, which claimed the life of one. This incident is still under investi

Good morning, It's always busy at the Sheriff's Office. We've been busy making some personnel changes this week that I shared with you yesterday. One DWI Arrest was made last Friday night, along with two parole absconders. We completed two probation home visits. We are currently conducting an investigation with the FBI, and more information will be forthcoming as it becomes available. That leads me straight into my next point. I want to recognize Major Mike Foster, who is ret

Good morning, I want everyone to join me in congratulating the newly selected Major Chief Deputy for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, Brady Harmon. Brady is a longtime resident of Sparkman, Arkansas. He has over 22 years of law enforcement experience and is the owner of Southwest Probation Services, Inc., providing community safety in district and circuit courts throughout Arkansas. He is a deacon at New Hope Baptist Church, a member of the Gideons, and chairman of the Dal

Good morning, We at Dallas County Sheriff’s Office want to recognize and thank our men and women who serve and have served our country. To the families who have lost loved ones that gave that ultimate sacrifice. It seems today we have became a nation that overlooks that sacrifice from men and women that ensures our freedom each day! Remember, freedom is not free, someone paid for it. Happy Veterans Day! Sheriff Mike Knoedl

Good morning, Deer season is almost here. We wish everyone a successful hunt. Last weekend was a busy one, as always. It started off last Friday night with a DWI arrest on Highway 9. On Saturday night, we received a report of some individuals on the side of the road involved in an altercation. Responding deputies ended up arresting the suspects for disorderly conduct and an array of other charges. On Monday night, Deputy Dusty Walton responded to a report of someone shooting

Good morning, I hope everyone is enjoying this cooler weather as much as I am! Hopefully, Fall is here to stay for a while. We want to remind everyone to stay safe while trick-or-treating during Halloween. We've had several local events where kids could come and trick-or-treat. I want to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make those events a success. Tonight is the big rivalry game between Fordyce and Rison. This year's rivalry game will be at Rison. We wish the Red

Good morning, It's been a hectic week here at the Sheriff's Office. On Saturday night, Sergeant Jordan Ables and Deputy Dusty Walton were involved in a vehicle pursuit that began in Hot Spring County. The suspect vehicle crossed over into Dallas County, where Sergeant Ables was the lead vehicle in the pursuit. It was determined that the car was stolen in Faulkner County. After a short pursuit, Sergeant Ables performed a TVI (Tactical Vehicle Intervention). The suspect vehicle

Good morning, I hope everyone has enjoyed a great week! I'm going to start out with an incident that occurred on Thursday night. Deputies were called to a residence in reference to a possible sexual assault. The caller advised that she had met a subject online and invited the suspect to her home. This case is still under investigation. I bring this up to once again highlight the dangers of using the internet for this purpose. This is like playing Russian roulette with your sa

Good morning! I hope everyone is enjoying these cool mornings we've been experiencing this week. I certainly have. I want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that our annual Shop With A Cop program has begun. There is an account at Fordyce Bank & Trust where you can make a donation if you wish. This program allows us to take children, who may not otherwise have enough funds to buy Christmas gifts, on a shopping trip with their parents. This is our 3rd year to host thi
