Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announces crackdown on loitering, especially at intersections

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin announced a crackdown on loitering in a Thursday news conference.

Griffin specially made note of people who “loiter at intersections.” He explained that people loitering at intersections, in some cases asking for or hoping to receive donations, pose a safety hazard to Arkansas motorists.

“Loitering in and around public roadways, intersections, and traffic stops has grown to an unacceptable level,” Griffin said. “Anyone who has spent time in Arkansas’s larger municipalities over the past few years has undoubtedly had to watch out for people walking into the street, putting everyone’s safety at risk.”
