13 Years Ago Today... 👮‍♂️

Thirteen years ago today, I was standing on the stage graduating from the Little Rock Police Department Academy. If you had walked up to me that day and told Officer Ingle that he’d eventually be running his own law firm, I probably would have laughed you right out of the room.

Back then, my focus was simple: survive the shifts, learn the streets of Southwest Little Rock, and do the job right. Being a lawyer wasn't even on my radar.
But life has a funny way of shifting your perspective. After a decade of seeing the justice system from the front seat of a patrol car, I realized I wanted to handle the fight from a different angle. So, I traded the badge for a law degree.

People ask me if it was hard to transition from law enforcement to criminal defense and family law. Honestly? The venue changed, but the mission didn’t.

On the streets: I learned how to read a room, see through the chaos, and know exactly when a story didn't add up.

In the courtroom: Those exact same instincts are what allow me to dismantle a weak prosecution or protect a client's rights when everything is on the line.

Thirteen years later, I’m proud of where I started, and I’m proud of where the Ingle Law Firm stands today. I survived the academy, I survived a decade on the beat, and now, I’m here to help you survive your toughest legal battles. Never would’ve guessed it 13 years ago—but I wouldn't change a thing. ⚖️

For some reason, my Facebook algorithm has started showing me posts from various NYPD precincts proudly showing off the fi****ms they confiscated during their shifts.

It was a reminder of how drastically different firearm laws are here in Arkansas compared to New York City. We are in the same country, but legally, it’s completely different worlds.

Thinking about traveling this summer, or just curious how our local laws stack up against the big city? If you take a firearm across state lines without checking local regulations, you could be looking at an automatic felony.

Here is a quick look at the massive legal divide between the Natural State and the Big Apple:

Arkansas vs. New York City Gun Laws

Permitless / Constitutional Carry

Arkansas: YES. Anyone 18+ who can legally possess a firearm can carry open or concealed without a state license.
NYC: ABSOLUTELY NOT. Carrying a loaded firearm without a highly restrictive local permit is a violent felony carrying mandatory prison time.

Concealed Carry Permits

Arkansas: Optional. Mostly used for out-of-state reciprocity or carrying in specific enhanced zones.
NYC: Mandatory. Requires a multi-step process including a 16-hour classroom course, 2-hour live-fire test, in-person interview, and character references.

Gun Registration

Arkansas: None required for gun owners or fi****ms.
NYC: Strict registration. Every single handgun must be officially licensed, approved, and tied directly to your specific permit.

Arkansas heavily favors individual Second Amendment rights and operates on a permitless system. Meanwhile, NYC has some of the strictest regulations in the nation, where ignorance of local mandates will land you in a jail cell fast. Before you pack your bags and hit the road, make sure you know the laws of every state you are crossing into.

For entertainment purposes only, I’ve taken some of those photos of NYPD confiscated fi****ms that have popped up in my feed and paired them with potential "suspects." Enjoy the slideshow. 😉

Memorial Day weekend is here:
✔️ The grills are firing up
✔️ The lakes are packed
✔️ Someone is already arguing about how to properly cook ribs
✔️ Troopers are charging their radar guns as we speak

Enjoy the long weekend, celebrate responsibly, and please don’t do anything that results in you needing a consultation on Tuesday. 🇺🇸

Most importantly, take a second to remember and honor those who gave everything for our freedom.

Happy Memorial Day from the Ingle Law Firm!

Calling all true crime fans! 🕵️‍♀️📺

Even here in Saline County, Arkansas, we know a lot of you were glued to the edge of your seats watching the wild Alex Murdaugh murder trial. Well, grab your sweet tea, because the South Carolina Supreme Court just dropped a massive plot twist!

On May 13, 2026, the court officially threw out Murdaugh's murder convictions and ordered a brand-new trial.

Wait, what? Why?!

It all came down to jury tampering. The court concluded that the Colleton County Clerk of Court, Rebecca Hill, actually "placed her fingers on the scales of justice"

Here is the "tea" according to the court:
-The Book Deal: The court found Hill was "attracted by the siren call of celebrity". She wanted to write a book and believed a guilty verdict would help her sell more copies.
-The Comments: To get that verdict, she allegedly told the jury "not to be fooled" by the evidence presented by Murdaugh's attorneys. She also instructed the jury "to watch him closely" and check out his body language right before he testified.

What’s the law?
In our legal system, the jury is supposed to have absolute privacy so they can have a full and free debate. When an official of the court meddles and whispers in the jury's ear, the law automatically assumes it ruined the fairness of the trial (a fancy legal rule called the "Remmer presumption"). Once that happens, the State has a heavy burden to prove the meddling didn't affect the verdict. In this case, the State just couldn't prove that the jury wasn't influenced by her highly improper comments.

The Big Takeaway:
The court put it perfectly: our justice system demands that every person is entitled to a fair trial with an unbiased jury. It doesn't matter how notorious the defendant is. When a court official goes rogue for their own 15 minutes of fame, the whole system has to hit the reset button and start over.

⚖️ Why This Matters at Ingle Law Firm ⚖️
As an attorney who handles criminal and appellate cases right here in Arkansas, this wild story is the perfect example of why appellate law is so crucial. A guilty verdict isn't always the end of the line. When a constitutional right is violated (whether by a rogue official or unfair evidence) appellate lawyers step in to hold the justice system accountable and demand a fair trial.

I survived a five-year Marine Corps enlistment and a decade as a cop in Little Rock just to be taken out by a Microsoft Word document that refused to format my Table of Authorities.

The guy on the left (2021) had a pension plan and a hairline. The guy on the right (2026) just wants a nap and some orthopedic insoles.

I’ve officially reached the "don’t drive over the solid white line on Bauxite Highway while turning or I’ll yell at you from my porch" stage of life.

If you see me in Saline County looking like a discarded raisin, just know it’s been a long week… and it’s only Tuesday.

All jokes aside, I am incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me every day. It’s a privilege to advocate for you and navigate these challenges together. I truly appreciate each and every one of you!
