James R. Cooper, Judge; concurring. I concur in the majority’s disposition of the Rule 404(b) argument, and, therefore, I agree that this case should be reversed arid remanded for a new trial. However, I cannot agree with the majority’s disposition of the Rule 609 argument. Therefore, for the reasons expressed in my dissenting opinions in Williams v. State, 6 Ark. App. 410, 644 S.W.2d 608 (1982) and Bell v. State, 6 Ark. App. 388, 644 S. W.2d 601 (1982), I dissent from the portion of the majority opinion which affirms as to Rule 609.
