On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring enslaved people in the Confederacy free. Promised only if the Union won the war and limited in application to only states that had seceded from the Union, this officially turned the war into a fight for freedom. Since Texas was one of the last strongholds of the South, emancipation would be a long-time coming in the state. Even after the war ended in 1865, two full years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, many enslaved people in the state still were not aware of their freedom. Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, and declared, "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free." As a result, the day became known as Juneteenth. While celebrations have taken part across the country for years, President Biden officially designated Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021.

As a friendly reminder, the Faulkner County Courthouse & Administrative Offices are closed today, Friday, June 19, 2026, in observance of Juneteenth Freedom Day. As always, our deputies remain available should you need our assistance during this time. If you have an emergency, please call 911. For non-emergencies, please contact dispatch at 501-328-5906.

On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, Faulkner County Sheriff's Office notified the community that deputies were investigating a disturbance with shots fired on Hwy 365 near the Bears Den Gas Station. This notification was the result of a physical disturbance at 282 Hwy 365. During the disturbance, one round was fired from a pistol. However, no one involved with this incident sustained gunshot related injuries. During the investigation, deputies identified two suspects, Angelo Lovre and Bridgette Jones. Following the incident, the suspects separated and fled into the City of Conway. Thanks to the assistance of the Conway Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service and the 20th Judicial Drug Task Force, we were able to readily apprehend each of them.

Both Mr. Lovre and Ms. Jones were transported to the Faulkner County Detention Center, where they remain housed at this time. Mr. Lovre is charged with two counts of 5-13-204 Aggravated Assault and two counts of 5-13-301 Terroristic Threatening. He is pending additional charges at this time. Ms. Jones is charged with 5-12-103 Aggravated Robbery and 5-60-124 Interference with Emergency Communications. She is also pending additional charges at this time.

Faulkner County Sheriff's Office wishes to express our appreciation to the Conway Police Department, U.S. Marshals Service and the 20th Judicial Drug Task Force for their assistance in locating both of these suspects. The excellent teamwork and partnerships with these agencies are what allowed such a speedy resolution in this case.
