Charlie Martin – Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Sheriff Charlie Martin faced multiple lawsuits during his tenure. He played a recorded conversation between two police chiefs who were critical of him, leading to lawsuits alleging illegal disclosure of intercepted communications. The county settled these cases for $8,000 each. Additionally, Martin was criticized for his handling of incidents involving his deputies, including the shooting of Allison Beckham and the alleged beating of Troy Grantham, which resulted in a $300,000 settlement.
