Following Monday’s military vehicle crash at Fort Chaffee, four Arkansas Army National Guardsmen are being recognized not just for their courage, but for the life they helped save.

As the accident unfolded and fellow soldiers were injured, these Guardsmen rushed toward danger without hesitation, providing critical, immediate care to a seriously wounded soldier. Eight Guardsmen were injured in the crash, including one soldier who was airlifted to Springfield, Missouri, to undergo surgery.

I attended the ceremony today, and witnessed the emotional moments afterward, including the four Guardsmen embracing one another. It’s a powerful reminder of the brotherhood, compassion, and selflessness that define those who serve.

Today, these soldiers were honored with Meritorious Service Awards for their extraordinary actions:

• SSG Jorge Ramerez Martinez
• SSG Ryan Niblett
• SGT Eduardo Salazar
• SSG James Roach

According to the Army, the four provided “immediate lifesaving care,” and their “willingness to act saved the life of a critically injured soldier.” Their decisive medical intervention and unwavering commitment to their fellow soldier directly led to the preservation of life.

Thank you, service members. 🇺🇸🤍

17 ACRES BURNED: Yesterday at 4:16 PM, Wedington Fire crews were dispatched to a large brush fire near Lake Wedington in the Ozark National Forest. Due to strong winds and heavy underbrush, additional resources were quickly requested.

With the support of multiple neighboring departments and the U.S. Forest Service, crews worked through the evening to contain the fire. Forestry teams established a dozer line and conducted a back burn to secure the area.

The fire burned approximately 17 acres. While it will continue to smolder for the next several days, we’re told there is no threat to surrounding land or structures.

SECOND DUGGAR ARRESTED: The Bay County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 31-year-old Joseph Garrett Duggar in connection to the s*xual assault of a minor.

On March 18, 2026, Bay County investigators were contacted by a detective with the Tontitown Police Department regarding a report of past s*xual abuse. The 14-year-old victim participated in a forensic interview, where she disclosed several incidents involving Duggar that occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach.

According to the investigation, the incidents took place in 2020 while the family was staying at a residence on Danny Drive. The victim reported Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap. As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on a couch and covered them with a blanket. During this time, Duggar was accused of touching the victim inappropriately.

The victim stated Duggar eventually apologized for his actions and the incidents stopped after the apology. Investigators discovered the victim's father confronted Duggar about these incidents on March 17th, 2026. Duggar admitted his actions to the victim's father and to Tontitown Detectives.

Duggar was arrested out of state and charged with Lewd and Lascivious Behavior - Molestation of a Victim Less Than 12-years-old and Lewd and Lascivious Behavior Conducted By A Person 18 Years Or Older.

Duggar is currently awaiting extradition back to Bay County.
