The victim made enough noise during the struggle that a neighbor in an adjoining apartment phoned 911 to summon police. The boyfriend, however, had fled prior to officers’ arrival. He returned once they left, then fled again when police were called to the residence a second time.

Made aware of a Facebook post advertising a soul food bar at the 600 block of Clinton Street, an officer investigated, discovering no records or permits on file with the city, state Department of Health or Alcohol Beverage Control. A pair of policemen went to the address during its advertised business hours to find the windows and glass doors to be covered with black plastic. One officer opened the door to find a patron inside drinking a beer, and asked to speak to whoever was in charge. The owner emerged and, confronted about the lack of permits, replied that she had filed for them but had yet to receive them, adding that the evening’s event was a private engagement party. She added that she had completed an inspection with the Arkadelphia Fire Department, although the officer learned later there were no records of such an inspection at that location. No further action had been taken at the time of the report.
