Two Little Rock police officers have lost
their jobs after being the subjects of separate internal
investigations.
Officer Charles Johnson was fired September 19th, about a month
after he was arrested and charged with first-degree sexual assault
on a 16-year-old girl.
Officer Alyson Craig was fired the same day after she tested
positive for barbiturates in a random drug test July 22nd.
The 30-year-old Johnson pleaded innocent to the charge and has a
hearing Thursday in Pulaski County Circuit Court. He was placed on
administrative leave after his arrest.
Craig told a medical review officer she tested positive for the
drug because she accidentally took medicine prescribed for her
husband, according to police records.
Craig has requested an administrative hearing to appeal her
firing.
