LITTLE ROCK — The second Little Rock
police officer charged in a recent drug trafficking case has been terminated.
Mark Anthony Jones was fired Friday
morning, according to LRPD spokesman Lt. Terry Hastings. Jones and another
officer, Randall Tremayn Robinson, were charged with conspiring and attempting
to aid and abet the possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and
possessing a firearm while taking part in a drug-trafficking crime.
The two officers were charged with the
crimes after allegedly escorting a shipment of over 1,000 pounds of marijuana
through Little Rock while in uniform and in their marked police vehicle.
Robinson resigned his position on May 30.
Both men are set to appear Monday afternoon in Federal Court for a bond
hearing.
