On Monday, Pine Bluff Mayor Vivian Flowers fired Police Chief Denise Richardson and Fire Chief Shauwn Howell, and the blowback was immediate on social media.
In addition, Third Ward City Council Member Lanette Frazier was quick to voice her feelings. Frazier admitted that Flowers had the authority to hire those chiefs and felt it was important that she tell members of the council first, so they didn’t have to hear about it from the media, which Frazier said was the way she found out.
Frazier appeared on Talk Back Live with Floyd Donald and she went on to say this.
Frazier also brought up claims that Richardson was not a supporter of GVI (Group Violence Intervention) and said those claims were not true.
