Boone County Sheriff and Harrison Police Department media release regarding Governor Hutchinson’s Emergency Order 20-43 (Face masks).
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office and the Harrison Police Department will always give a response to every call received. However, each call is based on the merit of circumstances. E.O. 20-43 plainly states in Section 3-c that no individual will be detained for violating this order. If the police do not have the authority to detain, we do not have the authority to arrest or cite an individual.
Please let us remind everyone that each business or entity has the right to require a face mask compliance either by state mandate or by choice. If a business requires a face mask you cannot enter without one. The person at the door requiring you to wear a face mask is doing so to comply with either state health regulations or the request of the owner. It is not their fault that this upsets you. Please be respectful to those tasks with that duty.
We have also had incidents where people would approach others for not wearing a face mask and confront them. Please do not engage in that type of activity. There are several exemptions for not wearing a face mask stated in the order and that person may be fully complying. If you are not a law enforcement officer, you do not have the right to engage that person. If you chose not to follow these guidelines, we would like to make you aware of three state statutes you could be violating.
Arkansas State Statute 5-39-203 Criminal Trespass
Arkansas State Statute 5-71-207 Disorderly Conduct
Arkansas State Statute 5-71-207 Harassment

Harassment:
(a) A person commits the offense of harassment if, with purpose to harass, annoy, or alarm another person, without good cause, he or she:
(1) Strikes, shoves, kicks, or otherwise touches a person, subjects that person to offensive physical contact or attempts or threatens to do so;
(2) In a public place, directs obscene language or makes an obscene gesture to or at another person in a manner likely to provoke a violent or disorderly response;
(3) Follows a person in or about a public place;
(4) In a public place repeatedly insults, taunts, or challenges another person in a manner likely to provoke a violent or disorderly response;
(5) Engages in conduct or repeatedly commits an act that alarms or seriously annoys another person and that serves no legitimate purpose; or
(6) Places a person under surveillance by remaining present outside that person's school, place of employment, vehicle, other place occupied by that person, or residence, other than the residence of the defendant, for no purpose other than to harass, alarm, or annoy.
(b) Harassment is a Class A misdemeanor.
It would be great if we did not have to make arrests for any of these actions. However, we will ensure that everyone in our community is protected to the best of our ability. Our goal is to work through these trying times and stop the spread of this virus that can be fatal to some in our community. We encourage you to follow the Governors Executive Order and wear a mask or stay a safe distance away from each other.
Thank you for your continued support.

This is a fun fact that most are not aware but marble from Newton county, AR was used to build the Washington monument in 1836. I've been wanting to take a picture of this land mark for a while and was able to do as I was coming back from court yesterday from Newton county.
So Foresee Insurance in Harrison in anticipation of Halloween, went around the square early this morning and put red balloons around water gutters and other locations because of the scary clown movie, IT. They wrote sayings on the balloon related to insurance quotes. Brilliant advertising. Anyway, I found this at my office door this morning. Great idea Foresee insurance.
