"Fundraising while black" is now also highly illegal...

Oh, and fuck these people, seriously...
On Monday, Wynne police arrested 46-year-old Jerri Kelly on four counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment and endangering the welfare of a minor.
However, Kelly doesn’t have mugshot because Cross county Sheriff David West told WMC Action News 5 that she had a “medical issue” at the time of booking. Ironically Kelly is the wife of Cross county Jail Administrator Joe Kelly, one of West’s employees.
Despite the connection and no mugshot—which is standard procedure for anyone booked into jail—West maintains that Jerri Kelly did not get special treatment. Her husband, Joe, also remains on the job.

1. Two of the Teens Had Their Football Jerseys on When Jerri Kelly Came Out of Her House With Her Gun & Forced Them to Lie Down With Their Legs Spread & Arms Behind Their Backs
The teens told WREG-TV that two of them were wearing their Wynne High School football jerseys when they walked up to Jerri Kelly’s home on the morning of Wednesday, August 7. Kelly came out of her Morningside Drive home with a gun as the boys walked up her driveway, one of the teens, a 16-year-old, told the news station.
Kelly is accused of forcing the boys to get down on the ground onto their stomachs with their legs spread and their arms behind their backs. The teens say she told them she had already called 911 and demanded they remain on the ground until officers arrived. An officer arrived and sorted out the situation, according to police.
A parent wrote on Facebook, “These boys had on their football jerseys, and this is common around this time of year in Wynne. All this lady had to do was say no thank you and close the door, but instead she chose to pull a gun out and traumatize these boys.”
Chief Jackie Clark said officers were dispatched about 10 a.m. to a report of “suspicious persons,” according to Wynne Progress.
