Old armory building could turn into new police department

- The old national guard armory could be a new facility for the Blytheville Police Department. Wednesday the National Guard turned over the building and keys to the city of Blytheville. The Mayor and police chief told Region 8 this armory facility could be the answer they have been looking for. The location is also close to Interstate-55, Highway 61 and Highway 18, which all flow into the city of Blytheville. Chief Thompson also told Region 8 he is pleased with the idea of moving the department to this location.
