Bald Knob Police Chief Cuts Federal Gun Felony Plea Deal, Not Charged With Arson for Torching Own Truck
“Brand New, I will take $800 for it.”
Fateful words that led Bald Knob Police Chief Erek Balantine to cut felony plea deal with prosecutors.
The Arkansas police chief burned his own personal vehicle, writing “2 Amendment” in spray paint to try and deflect attention from stealing a shiny new shotgun donated to the police department for auction.
The sentencing hearing is pending.
Former Bald Knob Police Chief Erek Balantine resigned in “fear for his family’s safety,” his last day was October 5th, 2015.
