Brittany Dawn Jeffrey among 4 charged in BLM firebombings of police vehicles
The four suspects, including Brittany Dawn Jeffrey, were arrested following a months-long investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the report said, citing a December 17 news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
“Today’s arrests send a message that violence targeted toward law enforcement will not be tolerated,” U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland stated in the release, according to FOX 16 of Little Rock. “Breaking into a police compound and firebombing a police vehicle with a homemade explosive device is clearly not a peaceful protest.”
Renea Baek Goddard was previously arrested and charged with obstructing government operations in violation of a local curfew during a BLM protest on June 2, with a court appearance scheduled for Jan. 22 in that case, the Post-Millennial report said.
The journalist has worked for KUAR Public Radio in Little Rock, contributed to the LGBTQ news outlet Autostraddle and interned for Arkansas Public Media after attending the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, according to the report.
Photos of Goddard posted online included an image of her in a nun-like outfit with a see-through top and slit-open leather skirt.

“As more and more white supremacists try to rebrand themselves, journalists have a responsibility to be vigilant,” Goddard wrote in 2019 on the news site Truthout. “There needs to be an end to this farce that neutrality necessitates taking a centrist position.”
What we know so far
The other three suspects charged last week also have been linked to far-left activism, according to the report.
The other suspects facing charges were identified as Aline Espinosa-Villegas, 24; and Emily Nowlin, 27. Espinosa-Villegas was being held in the Pulaski County Detention Center without bail in connection with federal charges, the report said.
Nowlin, in addition to the firebombing of the police vehicles, also faces charges of misdemeanor disorderly conduct for joining others in blocking traffic during a June 2 protest, the Post-Millennial reported.
All four defendants made their first court appearance on December 17 in Little Rock, the report said.
