As you celebrate Independence Day, please remember to Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.

If you're celebrating with alcohol, make a plan before you go:

Our officers will be conducting increased traffic enforcement throughout the holiday to help keep our community safe.

Drive Sober. Drive Smart. Arrive Alive.

Rest easy, Officer. Your watch has ended, but your legacy will never be forgotten.

TRUMANN POLICE DEPARTMENT

On June 17, 2026, officers with the Trumann Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at Smokes To***co Store, located at 1714 Highway 69 in Trumann.

As a result of the investigation, Trumann officers executed a search warrant on June 22, 2026, at a residence located at 15 Viva Drive in Trumann. Following the search, an arrest warrant was obtained for Willie Ray Jones, who resides at the same address, charging him with Aggravated Robbery.

On June 23, 2026, officers received information that Jones was in the Bald K**b area of White County. That information was immediately forwarded to the Bald K**b Police Department. Bald K**b officers quickly located Jones and took him into custody without incident.

Jones has since been transported to Trumann by Trumann Police Department officers and is currently being held in the Trumann City Jail awaiting formal court proceedings.

The Trumann Police Department would like to thank the Bald K**b Police Department for their assistance and cooperation in the apprehension of this suspect.

Property Improvement Update: 640 South Ozark

The Trumann Police Department Code Enforcement Division would like to recognize and express its sincere appreciation to a property owner whose proactive efforts have positively impacted our community.

The property located at 640 South Ozark was recently purchased by an individual who immediately took steps to improve the site by removing the old structure and thoroughly cleaning the property without the need for formal enforcement action.

These voluntary efforts demonstrate a strong sense of community pride and responsible property ownership. Taking the initiative to invest in and improve properties throughout Trumann contributes to safer neighborhoods, enhances property values, and creates a more attractive environment for everyone who lives, works, and visits our city.

The Trumann Police Department Code Enforcement Division is extremely grateful for citizens who choose to be proactive and address issues before government intervention becomes necessary. Partnerships between property owners and the community are essential to maintaining the progress we continue to see throughout Trumann.

We encourage all property owners to follow this example by taking pride in their investments and remaining committed to maintaining their properties.

Positive change often begins with individual action, and this project at 640 South Ozark is an excellent example of how responsible ownership can make a meaningful difference for an entire neighborhood.

The Trumann Police Department Code Enforcement Division remains committed to working alongside residents and property owners as we continue striving to make Trumann a cleaner, safer, and better place for all.
