VETERAN OFFICER TOMMY NORMAN ARRESTED ON DOMESTIC BATTERY CHARGE
Tommy Norman, a beloved 27-year veteran of the North Little Rock Police Department known nationwide for his community outreach, has been arrested and charged with Domestic Battery in the 3rd Degree following an alleged domestic violence incident involving his wife, Rosalynd Norman.
According to reports from TMZ, KATV, and THV11, law enforcement was dispatched Saturday night after a call about a domestic dispute involving Norman and his wife. Norman’s wife reportedly told officers that he struck her in the chest with the back of his hand during an argument. Minor injuries were observed.
The officer claims he was merely blocking her hand after she attempted to slap him.
He was booked into the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility and is currently being held without bond. Per department policy, Norman has been placed on administrative leave pending two investigations.
Tommy Norman isn’t just any officer. He built a national reputation for connecting with the community, posting videos of his interactions with North Little Rock youth, elderly, and families.
His brand of “community policing” gained national attention and led to him receiving a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.
