Harrisburg Police Chief Eric Moore and His Son Arrested on Multiple Charges

HARRISBURG, AR - Harrisburg Police Chief Eric Moore and his son, Brandon Moore, were arrested today following an investigation into allegations of misconduct involving impersonation, firearms, and unauthorized access to police resources.

Chief Eric Moore faces charges including Furnishing a Handgun or a Prohibited Weapon to a Felon and three counts of ACIC Release or Disclosure to an Unauthorized Person. His son, Brandon Moore, has been charged with Possession of Firearms by Certain Persons 1st Degree, two counts of Criminal Impersonation 2nd Degree, and Criminal Impersonation 1st Degree. Chief Moore and Brandon Moore went before a judge today for a Probable Cause Hearing. A $5,000 bond was set on Chief Moore, and a $25,000 bond was set on Brandon Moore.

The investigation commenced on April 4, 2025, after Mayor Kimble raised concerns regarding Chief Moore allowing his convicted felon son to ride in his patrol vehicle during active duty. At this time, Mayor Kimble requested the Poinsett County Sheriff's Office to investigate misconduct, including whether crimes had been committed.

Witnesses, including deputies and police officers, reported incidents where Brandon was present in Chief Moore's vehicle, wearing police gear, and accessing sensitive law enforcement resources.

We are dedicated to transparency and accountability within our law enforcement community. Law enforcement officers are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct in their professional duties on and off duty. We must fulfill our responsibilities and maintain impartiality, treating all individuals equally, regardless of their status.
