Other days
100 YEARS AGO June 9, 1912 In the juvenile court Saturday morning with Judge Joe Asher, on the charge of vagrancy, Johnny Dukes was committed to the County Hospital for a period of conditional detention. The police had arrested Dukes on a charge of begging. 50 YEARS AGO June 9, 1962 One of the women who types reports at Little Rock Police Headquarters found herself in a new role yesterday, that of a report-giver. Mrs. Jeanette Hood, a secretary and PBX operator, was asked by a reporter today if any reports of vandalism had been received on the recorder attached to the telephone exchange. At that time, the officers still hadn’t made out reports on the numerous acts of vandalism in Little Rock last night. However, when Mrs. Hood went to lunch today, she happened to look at the side of her automobile. After her lunch break she told police that someone had sprayed black paint on the side of her car. She became the 10th victim of such attacks on cars recently. 25 YEARS AGO June 9, 1987
The state Board of Education affirmed in a 7-0 vote Monday its May 27 order that the Bright Star School District in Miller County be annexed to another school district for failure to prove it can meet the state education standards by next fall. Leo Garrison, superintendent of the district since 1972, said after the board’s vote he would challenge the consolidation order in court. He said the district was being made an example for the rest of the state and that the consolidation order was “cut and dried” before the district even pleaded its case. 10 YEARS AGO June 9, 2002 WASHINGTON — The changes envisioned for the FBI in the war against terrorism will lead to a bigger workload for other law enforcement agencies in Arkansas, federal officials say. In past years, the brunt of the FBI work in Arkansas has been focused on drug crimes, bank fraud and bank robbery, conviction records from the state’s two U.S. attorneys’ offices show. But many in Congress are now urging the FBI to let other law enforcement agencies handle those types of cases.
