A Jonesboro man is facing charges after authorities allegedly discovered cocaine, crack cocaine, and drug paraphernalia while executing a search warrant at his residence.

According to court documents, investigators searched the home on June 17 after completing a drug investigation that had been underway for several months. During the search, authorities reportedly located digital scales containing white residue, dishes with residue, opened boxes of sandwich baggies, and cleaning product containers that had been hollowed out and used to conceal narcotics.

Investigators also found an empty box of baking soda, which they believed may have been used to make crack cocaine. Authorities said the search resulted in the seizure of approximately 16.94 grams of cocaine and 44.17 grams of crack cocaine.

A mother in Arkansas was arrested after allegedly making her 7-year-old walk over 7 miles to school after he missed his bus because he failed to wake himself up for school on time.

On the evening of April 1, a 7-year-old was scolded for not keeping an eye on his 3-year-old brother, and he was sent to bed without dinner. Before he went to sleep, his mother told him he was responsible for getting up for school the following morning without her help.

As the child dressed for the day, he realized he missed his bus, but his residence in Jonesboro was approximately 7.5 miles away from his elementary school. He decided his best option was to walk, and the boy started his lengthy trek towards the campus.
