```A.L. Hadaway, who was Polk County sheriff in the 1980s, said he's tired of talking about Seal and conspiracy.
"I've been fooling with this since 1983 and I'm sick of it," he said. "I've dealt with it way longer than I ever expected to. It's still going on. This movie as best as I can tell is going to make him out to be some kind of a hero based on the fact they got a movie star to play his part."
Hadaway said he heard from the movie people but he didn't help them.
"They kept calling me wanting me to participate and give them information," he said. "I finally convinced them if they took my name out of their Rolodex and quit calling me, we'd both have a happier life."
Hadaway said he doesn't plan to see the movie, "not on purpose" anyway.
About 70 people showed up Friday at the Silver Screen Theater in Mena for the 6 p.m. showing of American Made.
Skyler Beck, an employee of the theater, said she had expected more, based on the city's starring role in the film. The theater can seat 190. But the crowds may show up later, she said.```
