Sheriff Todd Wright of Arkansas County quit his post effective immediately on Friday after a sick audio recording surfaced on social media
The recording was apparently made months earlier

Wright reportedly became upset that his girlfriend Desiree Middlebrooks had spoken a black grocery store worker

Wright called his partner a ‘n***** lover’, later adding in a rage ‘Why you got to holler at f***ing n*****s’ when I’m around?’


A special Quorum Court meeting was held Friday morning at the Arkansas County Courthouse to discuss Wright’s behavior and to urge his resignation

In the leaked recording, Wright is heard using the n-word nine times in a rage

Wright blamed his behavior on the devil, saying he isn’t racist and was angry with Middlebrooks because he had missed a funeral of his black friend
