LITTLE ROCK — Following a no contest plea entered by Malic King, 28, of Little Rock in Faulkner County Circuit Court on Monday, Attorney General Tim Griffin issued the following statement:
“Earlier this week, defendant King entered a plea of ‘no contest’ to Abuse of an Endangered/Impaired Person, a Class D Felony, for shooting residents of the Conway Human Development Center with a BB gun. The actions of the defendant in this case were cruel and egregious, and I am pleased that he is being held accountable.
“I congratulate my office’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit on their good work on this case, particularly investigator Dane Pederson and Assistant Attorney General Gabby Davis-Jones, who worked in conjunction with 20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Carol Crews. I am also grateful to the Conway Police Department for their work in investigating this case.”
King was working as a caregiver at the Conway Human Development Center when he used a BB gun to shoot residents there. After his no-contest plea, he was sentenced to five years of probation, was assessed a $1,000 fine plus court costs, and was ordered to attend anger management classes.
