The man accused in the death of a Conway police officer waived his arraignment hearing Monday in Faulkner County Circuit Court.
Barry Strickland, 31, of Conway was to appear before the judge and enter a plea, but waived his first appearance.
The case was assigned to Circuit Judge Charles E. Clawson.
Officer William McGary was directing traffic Jan. 31 on Dave Ward Drive when he was struck by a Jeep driven by Strickland.
McGary succumbed to his injuries on Feb. 1 at a hospital in Little Rock.
Strickland was booked into Faulkner County Jail following incident and charged with driving while intoxicated and first-degree battery.
He was later released on $150,000 bond.

His loved ones are suffering too!
It's not your job to lynch the guy.
Let the system do its job.
You had me at "I hope...he rots"
I think we all hope that, IF he is FOUND guilty, then an appropriate sentence is levied against him.
You lost me at blaming his family for supporting him. Internet savages really ought to think before they scrawl their primitive messages on the virtual cave wall.

Even tho he has to have a trial, it is fair to say that of the dude was pulled out of the drivers seat immediately after hitting the officer, there is a better that rock solid chance he is the one they were looking for. You are an idiot if you think otherwise.
Mistaken Identity?! Wat?
If you have not or cannot keep up with the conversation, please hold off on your urge to chicken peck your contribution.

What is the point of an arraignment if you can waive it?
