==Famous residents==
Controversial and radical minister [[Alamo Christian Foundation|Tony Alamo]] once claimed Dyer to be the home of his organization, although it is commonly referred to as "Alma" in most media reports. (Dyer is located about {{convert|5|mi|0}} east of Alma.) Alamo's compound, which included a church, school, round-the-clock guards and much more, served as a meeting place for his organization, Alamo Ministries.

In 2008 Alamo was arrested in [[Flagstaff, Arizona]], after a raid of his new compound in [[Fouke, Arkansas|Fouke]], located in southwest Arkansas. He was charged with violating the [[Mann Act]] for allegedly transporting minors across state lines for illegal purposes, i.e. sexual acts.
