LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Little Rock police have blocked Ferry Street and Capital Avenue around the Occupy Little Rock site. They have also roped off the parking lot.

Authorities say Jennifer Pierce, Amy Cicirello, Glen Miller, and Occupy spokesperson Greg Deckleman have been arrested for disorderly conduct.  They were taken into custody on scene.

Occupy Little Rock protesters say they'll end their seven-month run when the city enforces its deadline for the group to clear out of its Little Rock site.

But the city-imposed 7 a.m. Wednesday deadline came and went without any arrests.

Little Rock police Lt. Terry Hastings wouldn't comment on the police's plans to arrest the protesters, only saying that Wednesday was the deadline for the group to move from its site near the downtown Little Rock post office.

Goose leg tangled in fishing line at MacArthur Park

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Working off of a tip from a viewer, Today's THV is working with wildlife authorities to remove a fishing line from the leg of a goose at MacArthur Park.

Park visitors tell THV's Meredith Mitchell that the bird's foot has been wrapped in discarded fishing line for several weeks now.

Knowing we would need expert help, THV contacted Arkansas Game and Fish who sent wildlife biologists to help with the capture.

By the time biologist David Goad arrived on scene, the goose had taken to the water.  Using bread as a lure, he and a few park regulars tried luring the goose on shore, but the injured waterfowl kept its distance.

Goad waited patiently for an opportunity to capture the goose, but he says she appeared aware of the situation.

LR Family: Fun ideas for everyone

Submitted by Jessica Johnson on Wednesday, May 16th, 3:48 pm

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Here are some fun ideas from Little Rock Family.

Dino Dash and Discovery Fest at Museum of Discovery, Saturday, May 19

Luckily, you won't have to outrun any prehistoric predators at the Museum of Discovery's annual Dino Dash. But you will have to be speedy if you want to be the first to arrive at the post-event street festival near the museum.

Families will run in a 5K or participate in the 1K fun run/walk to help support the science and technology center; 100 percent of the registration fees and proceeds from the festival go to benefit the Museum of Discovery's statewide educational programs. Even those who don't run can enjoy the free Discovery Fest from 7:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. Families can watch science demonstrations, have their faces painted, play games, make crafts and more.
