GUY - The Guy Police Department has fired a part time police officer after he was arrested last week on suspicion of Internet stalking of a child.
Chief Dave Martini said the department terminated Josh George’s employment.
Martini said he will ask the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training to decertify George as a police officer.
Faulkner County authorities said George was arrested after he tried to meet two children for sex in a sting arranged by investigators. No children were actually involved.
George was also fired from the Arkansas Community Correction Department, where he was undergoing training as a correctional officer.
The Log Cabin Democrat reported that George remains jailed while awaiting a court appearance later in the month. Authorities did not know whether he had an attorney.
