Just before 11 p.m., on October 7, 2022, a Little Rock Police officer was attempting to book a prisoner into the Pulaski County Regional Jail (PCRJ) when the patrol unit he was driving was stolen. The patrol car was taken while the officer was inside PCRJ finalizing paperwork. Officers then discovered the abandoned patrol unit on Valmar Street a short time afterwards. After receiving a tip, officers later checked the area for the suspect who was identified as Kenneth Eaton. Eaton was located in the area and arrested. LRPD supervisors then positively identified Eaton on MVR footage and he was later charged with theft of property. An administrative investigation into this incident is underway.
