PRESCOTT, Ark.— Ben Hale, Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the Eighth North Judicial District, has announced his candidacy for Prosecuting Attorney.

“I want to be your next Prosecuting Attorney,” Hale said. “It has been my honor and privilege to serve as a prosecutor over the last four years in the office of Christi McQueen, who is not seeking re-election.

“During my time as a prosecutor, I have worked incredibly hard to earn the respect of all those involved in our criminal justice system, especially our officers who put their lives on the line daily. I’m proud that I have been an effective prosecutor making positive changes in our community. I’m the only candidate who can say that.”
