An Arkansas man was arrested after he allegedly became physically violent during an incident with his family members.
Late in the morning on January 11, a man in Paragould became engaged in a dispute with his partner, who was reportedly upset because she believed he was sleeping with someone else. The man allegedly held her down on a bed and began choking her. Youngsters were in the home during the incident, and one of them reportedly grabbed a stick and struck the man with it before running out the door. The authorities were notified, and officers with the Paragould Police Department headed to the address to investigate.
They talked to the woman about the situation and noted that she had a cut on her leg. She told them the man was throwing things at her and something cut her. The officers also reported that the juvenile who hit the man with a stick had marks on his wrists, which he said he got when the man struck him with a paddle. Two underage girls said they heard the ruckus but did not see anything. One of them gave the officers 4 Clonazepam pills and said they belonged to the man.
