LITTLE ROCK, AR – Newly elected Pine Bluff Mayor Debe Hollingsworth fired police chief Brenda Davis-Jones Tuesday.

Hollingsworth says she appointed Jeff Hubanks as the interim Chief of Police. Hubanks is a retired police officer.

Davis-Jones was the Chief of the Fort Valley State University Police Department before being hired by the previous mayor, Carl Redus, in 2010. Redus lost his re-election bid to Hollingsworth in November.

savepb, Mrs. Redus' time is coming. The new mayor knows who all are useless employees and in time they will be replaced.

When can we get rid of Mrs. Redus who's been sucking money off Pine Bluff as a "manager", while qualified people were not even considered??

Did anyone think the chief would have her job come January 1st? If you did, you are truly ignorant. LOL Good move Debe.

Well I'll be. I may move down there. I'll try not to have to wear all white this time. Things could be looking up. If the woman working for ADC that ties the crappie jigs is still there it could even be great.
