SUMMARY: Body camera footage from the Forest City Police Department in Arkansas reveals the distressing final moments of Perry EES Jr., who died at St. Francis County Jail in May 2023. In the video, EES pleads for medical help, expressing fear for his life, while officers appear indifferent, focusing on their inconvenience rather than his suffering. Despite his condition, he was handcuffed and taken to jail, where he died shortly after arrival. EES had initially sought help at a hospital but was turned away. Family attorneys claim his death was preventable and criticize the officers’ lack of humanity.

Newly released body camera footage shows the final moments of a man’s life before he died in an Arkansas jail.

“I am not trying to disobey,” Perry Eaves Jr. said. “Let me live.”

The footage shows Eaves pleading for his life in the parking lot of the Forrest City Medical Center in May 2023.

SUMMARY: Today’s temperatures reached a normal high of 49 degrees but remained cooler than desired due to overcast skies. Tonight, some areas, particularly north of the plateau, may drop below freezing, while most regions will stay slightly above. Warmer weather is expected later in the week, with highs nearing 60 degrees by Wednesday. Showers will move in late tonight, with potential mixed precipitation, especially in the northern plateau and Smoky Mountains. While snow accumulation may occur in higher elevations, it is not expected to impact roads significantly. A chance of rain continues into the weekend, needed due to ongoing drought conditions.
