Police: Robbery at law office was 'targeted,' not random BY ERIK EISELE THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — More details emerged Wednesday about Tuesday’s armed robbery at the Seavey Street law offi ces of
Upton & Hatfi eld, but questions remain and no arrests have been made. Police offi cials reiterated the “targeted” nature of the crime, which occurred just before 3 p.m. Tuesday and included a “projectile weapon” shooting something akin to
pepper spray. “We think it’s less of a random offense and more of a planned offense,” Conway police spokesman Lt. Chris Perley said see ROBBERY page 15
Praise but no raise for Bartlett teachers Proposed two-year contract rejected, 198-121; ‘nothing against the school or the teachers’ BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
BARTLETT — Citizens believe the teachers at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School are doing a great job but couldn't support giving them raises Tuesday night
when voters rejected a proposed two-year contract by secret ballot, 198-121. The turnout Tuesday was so large that the meeting had to be delayed by nearly 30 minutes in order for voters to get checked in by the supervisors. Nearly 400 people packed into the gymnasium, which had
been set up with 250 chairs. The overfl ow filled the bleachers. Without a new contract, the parameters of the latest contract will remain in place. School superintendent Carl Nelson said see BARTLETT page 13
