SHERIFF MIKE KNOEDL - WEEKLY UPDATE 12/05/2025

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 asking about one of my deputies who has been charged with domestic battery and DWI. Anyone who has known me for over five minutes should know I will not tolerate that type of behavior from any of my employees, especially a law enforcement officer. I challenge anyone who makes these accusations to provide the proof, and I will immediately handle the situation. There is no proof because it never happened. It amazes me that the keyboard warriors who don't like law enforcement come up with this erroneous information and put it out there. I'm done with this issue and will not address it again.

The Dallas County Sheriff's Office, along with the 13th Judicial Drug Task Force, executed a search warrant early Wednesday morning on a local residence in Fordyce. Methamphetamine was seized as a result of this search warrant. One arrest was made, and the person has one outstanding warrant for the distribution of narcotics. Keep selling the drugs in our county, and we're going to keep knocking on your door! Sleep well!!

Good luck to the Redbugs tonight against Booneville!!
