Tonight…a few Seven-On-Your-Side updates.   We find one man in jail, two women on the run, a story involving kids and another involving retirees. Here's Jason Pederson.

Willie Charles Whitman calls himself a prophet, but right now he is a prisoner.

Whitman, who we have featured in the past for running scams and ripping people off, has been in the Faulkner County jail for the past 12 days…charged with forgery and violating his parole.

We told you last week about six elected officials in Arkansas who claimed to retire but continue working in their same office. Why? So they can collect both a pension check and a paycheck.

We now know that there are well over 100 state employees who retired for two months or less and returned to work at their same position. The attorney general has said that the practice might violate state law.

And we told you Monday about the sale of a special license plate and how it is supposed to help reward students who do well in the classroom.  

$700 thousand dollars in sales hasn't been enough to keep the promises made to thousands of students.

That's why state representative Randy Stewart is considering requesting a legislative audit to find out why.

One other note…two months ago a federal judge found that two women running a credit repair scheme had ripped off over $100 thousand dollars from over 100 Arkansans.

Well since being found guilty, Sherrye Mance and Tiffany Morris can't been found at all.

And they haven't paid anybody any money back either.

If you see either in the state, let the attorney general's office know.
