Former prosecutor Cara Connors submitted a police report in Aug. 2021 while still in office regarding the series of Facebook posts she claimed Arnold-Johnson wrote, WREG reported.

“Earlier today, we were made aware that Diamond Arnold-Johnson was arrested by Little Rock Police. Everyone has the right to due process; however, our Party firmly believes people must be held accountable for any criminal behavior, especially candidates for public office,” the Democratic Party of Arkansas wrote in a statement following the arrest, according to KATV.
The Democrat party in Arkansas released a statement distancing themselves from Arnold-Johnson, “The Democratic Party of Arkansas did not recruit her to run for Auditor of State, and we cannot bar her from running for this position. We remain focused on working for a better Arkansas and winning races across the state.”
