The Pioneer Innkeeper phoned police again to report he had just witnessed a subject on 10th Street pick up a rock and lunge it at a window of the west side of El Parian, 202 N. 10th St. The innkeeper provided a description and added that he last saw the subject walking with a female toward Tiger Mart, northwest of the intersection with El Parian. Officers patrolled the area and located a juvenile female and an adult male identified as Damaria Montrel Hendrix, 18, of Bryant, behind the College Inn, 1015 Pine St. Hendrix reportedly made an initial attempt to flee but was cut off from any avenue of escape. Questioned about both glass-breaking incidents, Hendrix eventually confessed and was taken into custody on a felony warrant from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. He was also cited for criminal mischief and given a court date. Booking records at the jail indicate that the felony warrant is a charge of explicit conduct involving a child.

Police responded to Baptist Health Medical Center for a complaint of a trespasser refusing to leave. Hospital staff explained that the person had been transported there by a Caddo Valley officer and had been released because they had no reason to hold her. She had left prior to police arrival. Police arrived in the area to locate the female, 28-year-old Destiny Curry, of Hot Springs, walking along Professional Park Drive. After some back-and-forth conversation with officers and their attempt to find assistance for her, she jogged away from police, running into Pine Street and causing multiple vehicles to perform evasive maneuvers to avoid hitting her and the officers giving chase. Curry was apprehended at Cox Mobile Manor, assessed by medics from Valor EMS and transported to the jail for disorderly conduct.
