The following incidents were gathered from reports filed at the Arkadelphia Police Department and Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Names of arrested individuals were collected at the Clark County Detention Center on Crittenden Street in Arkadelphia. They are presumed innocent until found guilty in a court of law. The Arkadelphian does not withhold names from the arrest log, so don’t even think about asking.

Officers responded to an apartment complex on Twin Rivers Drive for a report that tenants had too many visitors and were coming and going from the apartments as they pleased. Officers, having responded to this location numerous times of late for bogus reports, advised the complainant she would receive a citation if she continued calling for non-urgent complaints. Her response was “Go ahead and write a ticket” so she got one.
