Written by In September 2021, Lt. Sam Baker was involved in an incident where he used excessive force against inmate Christopher Harris. Surveillance footage showed Baker punching Harris multiple times, resulting in severe injuries including a broken orbital bone, jaw fractures, and dental damage. An internal investigation concluded that Baker knowingly violated the department’s policies. Previously, in 2007, Baker was terminated from the Arkansas Department of Correction for excessive force against an inmate. Despite this history, he was rehired by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in 2007 and again in 2018.
