Felony incident still under investigation: Financial identity fraud, no location listed
4:36 p.m.
Officers were called to Ivan Smith Furniture, 2750 Pine St., Suite 1, for a report of a man lying unconscious on the sidewalk. Police would later identify the man as 46-year-old Richard Muriel Hughes, of Little Rock. Near him was a backpack containing a large can of malt beverage. Upon waking Hughes, he had slurred speech, struggled to stand and was unsteady on his feet. Admitting he had drank the beverage en route to Pine Plaza from Pioneer Inn, coupled with the odor of alcohol emanating from his person and his impaired behavior, Hughes complied to an officer’s request for a breath sample, which yielded in a result of 0.101% BAC. Hughes was arrested at the scene for public intoxication and transported to the county jail.
