🚨 Arkansas AG Urges Crackdown on Loitering 🚨

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin is calling on local law enforcement and community leaders to begin actively enforcing the state’s loitering law, citing growing concerns over public safety and cleanliness in cities across the state.

“Loitering in and around public roadways, intersections, and traffic stops has grown to an unacceptable level,” Griffin said. “Anyone who has spent time in Arkansas’s larger municipalities over the past few years has undoubtedly had to watch out for people walking into the street, putting everyone’s safety at risk.”

While acknowledging that panhandling is protected by the First Amendment, Griffin clarified that loitering — particularly when it poses a threat to public safety — must be addressed.

“It’s one thing to simply ask people for help,” he said. “It’s a very different thing to ignore and disregard the laws that keep our streets safe and orderly.”
