(Lonoke, Arkansas) According to court documents, 41-year-old computer-lab teacher for the Lonoke School District, Kelly Campbell, allegedly had sex with a 16-year-old male student. Kelly Campbell is the wife of Lonoke Police Chief Jay Campbell and mixing it up with a schoolboy appears to be the least of her problems. She's been implicated in a spree of crimes and faces a laundry list of sex offenses, drug offenses, burglary and tampering.
The small town of Lonoke is in turmoil. In addition to criminal counts against Kelly Campbell, her husband Jay Campbell faces charges of theft, criminal conspiracy and hindering prosecution. Also, the mayor of Lonoke, Thomas Privett, faces theft charges and two bail bondsmen are facing charges of participating in an ongoing criminal enterprise. All the alleged crimes centered around the administration of the town jail and the Police Chief.
Chief Jay Campbell was suspended from his position, with pay. All have been released on bail.
Adjudication of the cases against the Campbells, Privett and the bail bondsmen has been delayed to the first quarter 2007 to allow defense attorneys sufficient time to review mountains of documentation. I'll follow the cases. The situation looks messy.
