SPRINGDALE (KFSM)- The mayor of Springdale released a statement Monday (June 8) in response to suggestions of misconduct by Police Chief Kathy O’Kelley after the police department released an incident report regarding sexual molestation allegations that were made against Josh Duggar of “19 Kids & Counting.”

In his statement, Mayor Doug Sprouse writes:

“The City will not dignify suggestions of misconduct in this matter by Chief O’Kelley with any comment beyond labeling them as outrageous and categorically false. Chief O’Kelley is a dedicated public servant whose career in law enforcement has been committed to duty and the adherence to the law.”

The statement comes after former Springdale alderman Ray Dotson filed a complaint with the Civil Service Commission on June 2 regarding the release of the Duggar incident report. In his complaint, Dotson asks the commission to see if any laws have been broken.
