Arkansas Department of Agriculture plans to improve safety for producers

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KATV/KAIT) – The Arkansas Department of Agriculture plans to expand its law enforcement department to ensure more safety for producers.

According to our content partner KATV, the ADA said that it would have Kenneth Booth serve as a special agent for the department as he has had previous law enforcement experience.

Two flatbed trailers were reported stolen in Pulaski County on Tuesday, May 28 and agents including Lonoke County Sheriff’s office located them in Lonoke County.

Another incident happened May 29 when a 24-foot cattle trailer and seven heads of cattle were reported stolen. The White County Sheriff’s Office, Damascus Police Department, and Rose Bud Police Department helped arrest the suspect after he admitted to the theft.

“We exist to serve Arkansans and work collaboratively with other agencies to investigate crimes that impact agriculture, our state’s largest industry,” said Law Enforcement Chief Billy Black.

The ADA recently had its law enforcement department investigate foreign land ownership across Arkansas.

Following the efforts of Act 636 of 2023, Booth will join the department and help agents protect more Arkansas producers.
