Arkansas shows depth and defense in 106-59 Bahamas exhibition win

Arkansas rolled to a 106-59 win over the Bahamas national team in a Bahamas summer exhibition, riding relentless defense (26 turnovers forced, 13 blocks) and strong transition play (42 fastbreak points).

Dash-Cam Gap Triggers Dismissal in Arkansas Sheriff Candidate Shooting Case

An Arkansas judge dismissed the murder charge against Aaron Spencer, a Republican sheriff candidate, after authorities lost a dash-cam memory card that may have contained footage of the October 2024 fatal shooting of Michael Fosler. Spencer says he shot Fosler to protect his daughter from a predator, while prosecutors argued the killing was intentional. The dismissal comes as Spencer advances in the sheriff race, set to face Democrat Brian Mitchell Sr in November.
