A Faulkner County grievance committee upheld actions by Faulkner County Sheriff Andy Shock against four former sheriff's office employees who were relieved of their duties in January after Shock took office.
Justices serving on the grievance committee are Randy Higgins, Linda Paxton and Johnnie Wells.
Officials with FCSO reported the loss of nearly $30,000 to its budget February for the four deputies not rehired to their positions in January.
More information is coming.

Na na na na... Na na na na. Hey hey hey....
SO NOW
You're Fired

No Shock
I'm not shocked!
If it was this cut and dried....
...why did it take until March to get this hearing scheduled (thus wasting $30K - or more - of taxpayer money)?
Although one suspects an appeal is likely fothcoming - which only further demonstrates that this hearing should have been held much sooner.
Very wasteful use of taxpayer money.
Hmm
"Very wasteful use of taxpayer money."
Are you new to Faulkner County?
;)
Funny?
Guys with years of service kicked to the curb? Families upended? Lives upended? Curb-kicking from questionable reason?
Mocking in response to the report of finality in findings, findings which no doubt will lead to some sullen family meetings this evening?
Do you people even work for a living? Ever had a career?
Well.............
"Do you people even work for a living? Ever had a career?"
Yes iggy and yes!
nice beard
I bet that's why you wanted to be sheriff.
He's using the beard
to cover up that triple chin he's got.
Seriously though, why has no one ever addressed his obesity problem?
well
How many Sheriffs end up chasing a suspect?
It's more of a managerial role than a patrol role, yes?
