The following statement has been released by the Greenwood Police Department this afternoon. We are incredibly thankful for our partnership with the Greenwood PD and everything they do to keep our schools and students safe each day.
April 19, 2024
A Greenwood Police Department School Resource Officer was made aware of a Level 3 sex offender, Scott Allen Nell, that was trespassing on school property. After reviewing video surveillance from Greenwood Schools, it was found that the suspect was in fact illegally on school premises. The suspect has been arrested for failure to comply with the requirements of the Arkansas Sex Offender Registration Act of 1997 and the investigation is ongoing at this time. In conjunction with our School Resource Officers, School Security Officers, & School Administrationβ we will contact the parents/guardians of any students that may have unintentionally come into contact with the suspect. We would like to thank the Greenwood School District for their proactive & immediate response.
As always, if you βSee something, Say somethingβ.
It's Purple Up Day! β A day we acknowledge and celebrate the remarkable military children and their families. All through the district we celebrate and thank them for their service. Pictured are families enjoying breakfast in the Rock Gym - celebrated by the Junior High and High School.
