Little Rock radio personality Eric Sullivan fired after theft accusation

LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — Little Rock radio personality Eric Sullivan has been fired after being accused of stealing cash from a woman at a restaurant.

Sullivan hosted the sports program "Out of Bounds" on 103.7 The Buzz. He'd worked for the station since 2016.

The station, which confirmed the firing, removed images of him from its website and promotional materials.

The firing comes after Sullivan was accused of stealing $409 from a woman at Sauced Bar and Oven at 1121 N. Rodney Parham Road. Destiny Foley, 24, told police that she was at the restaurant Wednesday when she left her purse on the table and went to the restroom, according to a police report. Foley noticed the next day that her money was gone.

Foley, who works at the restaurant, viewed surveillance footage and saw Sullivan going through her purse, according to the report.

Foley said in a Facebook post Friday that the money had been returned to her. She also posted a video of a the alleged theft. The video shows a man sitting at a table who unzips a wallet, removes cash and places the wallet on the table next to him.

Sullivan, a former contributor to KATV sports coverage, had not been charged Friday. Police spokesman Eric Barnes said Foley will have to press charges.

We received this statement from Sullivan:

"I need to address something to you all: I've made a monumental career mistake & I take full responsibility for it, I let many people down as well as the listeners and great people at 1037 the Buzz and I will own that for the rest of my life."
