Records obtained from the Department of Workforce Services reveal that the driver of the 2012 Ford Truck was driven by Thomas Jewel Morris.

Morris no longer works for DWS but is still working for the state at the Arkansas Department of Health as a maintenance technician.

Morris was in a hurry to get back from delivering supplies to the DWS office in Helena.

How dumb to you have to be to speed in a clearly marked state vehicle???

Why not call Tommy at the ADH and ask him: 501-661-2732.

Employees entrusted to operate a state-owned vehicle on the streets and highways of Arkansas are representatives of the State. Failure of the state employee to observe safe driving habits and the rules of the road reflects poorly on State government.

VEHICLE COMPLAINT DEALS WITH AN ICE CREAM DATE

An Arkansas citizen observed a Department of Workforce Services at the Cold Stone Creamery in Texarkana, TX back on Monday, July 31, 2013 at 7:30 p.m.

The observant citizen saw a man and woman go inside, then come out some 20 minutes later.

As the vehicle license plate clearly states "Official Business Only" and a red state seal with the same wording is on both front doors, the taxpayer was concerned about misuse of a state vehicle and filed an online complaint.

According to records obtained from the Department of Workforce Services the vehicle had been checked out by Edward Millican, a training instructor.

Millican is no longer working for the state of Arkansas.  He moved to Bivins, Texas and is now a mailman.

MILLICAN 

Who was with Millican that evening at Cold Stone Creamery? 

Did he wife tag along with him while he was on "official business"?

Did he make a love connection while in the twin cities?

We say good riddance to Millican as we don't need state employees using state vehicles for personal use.
