LR-PD Spokesman Confronts KLRT Anchor During Interview

The saying is video doesn't lie...and it doesn't lie in this case either.  The Arkansas Democrat/Gazette obtained video of Little Rock Police Department spokesperson Mark Edwards confronting KLRT/Channel 16/Little Rock anchor Kevin Kelly.  When the subject of recent knife attacks came up during the interview, civilian LR-PD spokesperson Mark Edwards objected.  In the video Edwards is quoted as saying "Before we came here, I told you, we are not talking about that. And wait, wait, wait, wait," Edwards adds, as Kelly appears ready to interject. "Just so your people know, part of the problem I have with KARK and Fox, is you sensationalize --" More confrontation perused.......and Edwards was issued
"documented counseling" after the incident because a supervisor deemed Edwards' actions unprofessional, according to the article.


 

 

 Edwards is a former sports anchor/reporter for KTHV, Channel 11 and also worked as an anchor at Waypoint Media's Little Rock news hub.
