LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The chief of police in Little Rock is retiring by the end of June, and who will replace him remains a mystery.

There are three candidates to replace Thomas: 45-year-old Kenton Buckner, an assistant police chief with the Louisville, Ky., Metro Police Department; John Ray, the chief executive deputy for the Tarrant County, Texas, sheriff’s office; and 49-year-old Little Rock Assistant Police Chief Eric Higgins.
