Tommy Norman… the North Little Rock police officer who rose to fame with over 1 million Instagram followers for his community-driven posts… is facing heavy public attention after his weekend arrest on domestic violence charges.
The 27-year veteran was booked Saturday on third-degree domestic battery following what police called a “domestic violence incident.” He was later released Monday on a $350 cash bond. Norman has since been placed on administrative leave while both the courts and his department conduct separate investigations.
Now, his wife Rosalynd Norman is speaking out publicly. In a statement, she acknowledged the couple’s “loving memories and difficult times,” adding that they are relying on faith during the ordeal. She asked for “grace, prayers, and privacy” as rumors swirl online, emphasizing the strain of outside speculation.
Despite the controversy, Rosalynd defended her husband’s longstanding community work, urging the matter to be handled “privately, with dignity and respect.”
The arrest has shocked many in Arkansas and beyond, with supporters and critics closely watching how the case unfolds.
