Ron gets a rotten no-prize for bringing us an inside look at small-town politics:

LONOKE, Ark. - The mayor was arrested in a corruption probe, the police chief is accused in a drug-making scheme, and the prosecutor says the chief's wife took prisoners from jail to have sex with them - and more arrests could be coming.

It's a lot for a town of fewer than 4,300 residents to stomach in one day.

Dropping it all in a single day is a bit much, but I remember hearing about things like this swirl around the local government of my old home town (who's population was about thhe same size) through the years. And it's not something exclusive to Arkansas. From what I've read, many if not most small towns run into trouble like this at one point or another.
