Officer Tommy Norman, a 27-year veteran of the North Little Rock Police Department in Arkansas and a well-known social media personality, was arrested on September 13, 2025. He faces a charge of third-degree domestic battery following a dispute with his wife, who alleged that he struck her on the right side of her chest with the back of his hand, causing visible injury. Norman contended to authorities that he was defending himself after being slapped by his wife. He was taken into custody without bond and is being held at the Pulaski County Detention Facility. The police department has placed him on administrative leave pending the outcome of the judicial process and an internal investigation. Norman is known for his community outreach efforts and has a significant social media following with nearly 2 million Instagram followers. He had also been honored with a Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021. A statement on Norman’s official Facebook page asked the public to await the facts before forming judgments as the investigation continues.
