Last update: 7 hours ago

Police Incident: A Searcy officer fatally shot a Jacksonville man, state police say, after witnesses reported Cordney Sherod Stewart, 38, fired a weapon inside and outside a service station; investigators will send the case to prosecutors to determine whether deadly force was lawful. Courts & Health Policy: Arkansas AG Russell Coleman asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the mail-order abortion pill flow into Kentucky and other states, arguing federal changes bypassed doctor supervision and violated state authority. Business & Jobs: Walmart plans to cut or relocate about 1,000 corporate jobs, mainly in tech and product teams, citing a reorganization to reduce overlap and speed up delivery. Travel Tech: CLEAR launched at Northwest Arkansas National Airport with CLEAR+ lanes, automated eGates, and concierge service aimed at faster, more predictable trips. Education & Research: A-State student Adoria Roberts won a Gilman scholarship to study Chinese in Taiwan, while U of A researchers identified a key genetic region behind primocane-fruiting blackberries. Local Civic Life: Magnolia will send five juniors to Arkansas Girls State and two to Boys State next month.
