Incident in Greenwood leads to arrest, suspension of officer with Fort Smith Police Department


On Wednesday, June 14, the Greenwood City Prosecuting Attorney issued a misdemeanor arrest warrant for FSPD police officer Chris George on the charges of disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening in the second degree.


George, who cooperated fully with the criminal investigation conducted by the Greenwood, Police Department, and the Fort Smith Police Department, turned himself in to the Sebastian County Adult Detention Center.


Greenwood Police notified our department of an incident and opened an investigation into George for terroristic threats on May 29th. Immediately upon learning of the incident, George was placed on paid administrative leave in accordance with Department Policy pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.


All Department-issued weapons and equipment were confiscated at that time.


With the criminal investigation completed, George will remain on leave until an internal investigation has been completed and due process per Civil Service rules is afforded him.
