LITTLE ROCK, Ark.- Little Rock police are investigating after officers found the tires to four patrol vehicles were cut and Molotov Cocktails were found near the 12th Street Police Station Wednesday morning.
Little Rock police said on Tuesday night, there were several small protests in the city.
There was a protest at Mayor Frank Scott, Jr.’s home on Tuesday night.
