Chris Thyer, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas, has joined Centennial Bank as a senior vice president in the bank's trust department.

Davy Carter, a regional president for the bank, announced the hire Wednesday. He said Thyer will work closely with the department's manager, Steve Baker, "over the next year as Baker prepares for retirement."  

"We are very fortunate for the tremendous leadership that Baker has provided our trust department, which currently manages nearly $500 million in assets," Carter said in a news release. "We will miss him dearly. 

"We are equally blessed to have Baker and Thyer working closely together over the coming year to effectuate a smooth transition. We look forward to the continuing growth and success of the trust department under Thyer's leadership."

Thyer, an Obama appointee who came to office in 2011, resigned in March as President Trump requested of all the U.S. Attorneys inherited from the Obama administration. No permanent replacements for the vacancies have been nominated.

In addition being U.S. attorney, Thyer previously served in the state House of Representatives, representing part of Jonesboro and Craighead County. He has practiced law in Jonesboro for more than 20 years. 

Thyer's wife, Cindy, is a circuit judge in the Second Judicial District.

Centennial Bank is part of publicly traded Home BancShares Inc. of Conway (Nasdaq: HOMB).
