State to Post Primary Results Online
Voters are heading to the polls for today's primary, but it seems as if things are going digital.
Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin has beefed up his website.
Now counties can send in results when poll locations close, before they had to wait until all the votes were counted.
That's not all that's changing, the website will also show election results, voter turnout and precinct results for every race.
Woman Due in Court for Traskwood Buried Bodies Case
Today, a woman accused of helping bury bodies in a Saline County yard is due in court.
Myra Fay Terry, 54, faces hindering apprehension, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence charges in a case connected with the discovery of Joe Lee Richards and Randal Anderson bodies.
Those bodies were found buried in the yard of a Traskwood home.
Terry's trial date is set for today and tomorrow in Saline County Circuit Court.
Caddo Valley Police Chief to be Named Tuesday
The Caddo Valley Police Department should know today who their next chief will be.
This comes after Caddo Valley's Mayor Allan Dillavou fired the former guy in charge over the weekend.
Mayor Dillavou did say last week's vote of no confidence from the entire force was a deciding factor and that he was receiving pressure from all sides on the matter.
A search committee is currently looking through five possible candidates.
