Clark County authorities have charged a Gurdon man for allegedly shooting a neighbor as she drove past his residence.

Kenneth Stefon Harper Jr. remains in custody on police charges of first-degree battery and four counts of aggravated assault. Harper is accused of shooting into a woman’s vehicle in the early hours of Monday, March 25. At least one bullet struck the victim’s back.

Harper, 36, allegedly fired four rounds at a vehicle driven by the victim, identified in public documents as Yolanda Holman, 58, also of Gurdon. The shooting was apparently a random act: officials say Harper has no relation to Holman, who was reportedly driving home from an unrelated trip to the Emergency Room when the shots rang out.

Harper was apparently in a delusional state and believing that someone was attempting to break into his home around the time of the incident, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by Investigator Nick Funderburk of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

At Harper’s request, law enforcement had been called to his residence at 512 E. Crayton St. three hours prior to the shooting that hospitalized Holman. At 9:06 p.m. Sunday, the Gurdon Marshal’s Office was summoned to Harper’s home for a complaint that “someone was under his house trying to break in,” the affidavit notes. Officer Thomas Free responded but was unsuccessful in locating anyone on or around the property. Police were called at least twice more to Harper’s residence for similar unfounded complaints.

At 12:04 a.m. Monday, Holman called 911 and reported she had been shot, “possibly in the back,” and that the bullet entered through the window of her vehicle as she was traveling toward her home at 610 E. Crayton St. The affidavit says that Holman managed to pull into her driveway before dialing 911.

As medical responders were headed her direction, Harper — now an alleged gunman — called 911 asking where officers were in regards to his previous calls. He reportedly told a dispatcher that he had shot his firearm at who he believed was responsible for being on his property.

Holman was transported by ambulance to Baptist Health Medical Center in Arkadelphia, then immediately to CHI St. Vincent Hospital in Hot Springs, where she has remained in the hospital’s Intensive Care Unit since being shot.

Police located Harper at his residence, still holding the firearm, and took him into custody without incident. Officer Toby Garner seized the firearm as evidence.

Police inspected Holman’s vehicle to find three points of entry. In an interview with police, Harper reportedly admitted to shooting four times at the vehicle.

Booking records at the Clark County Detention Center indicate that Harper is employed at Anthony Timberlands.

He was slated for a first appearance sometime Monday in Clark County Circuit Court.

Formal charges are pending and will be determined by the prosecutor’s office.
