Naaman Adcock resigned from the police
department today. No word on whether he'll get his guns back.
A Fort Smith police officer was
arrested and placed on administrative leave Tuesday after Sequoyah County
deputies said he fired a gun inside his home and held a gun to a five-year-old
child’s head.
Officer Naaman Adcock was
placed on administrative leave with pay while authorities conduct an internal
investigation. Sequoyah County authorities said they took nine guns from
Adcock’s possession after he fired off several rounds into a wall inside his
home after he got into a drunken dispute with his wife.
Administrative leave. Paid
administrative leave. Incredible this guy wasn't fired on the spot. Not only
did he terrorize the children at gunpoint, he pulled a gun on a deputy:
Deputies continued to Adcock’s
residence, and when they knocked on the door, Naaman Adcock answered with a gun
drawn and pointed it at a deputy. The deputy drew a gun and pointed it at
Adcock, ordering him to drop his weapon, the report states.
The report states Adcock asked,
“What? Oh really, are you going to shoot me?”
He later gave his gun to the
deputies and spoke with them on the porch.
Tabatha Adcock and her children
eventually were taken by her step-father, and under Sheriff Ron Lockhart’s
orders, Naaman Adcock’s guns were seized until he sobered up.
