4:53 p.m.
During an investigation into the aforementioned felony theft at Domino’s, 1412 Pine St., police spoke with a possible suspect, identified as Christopher Obryan Jones, 36, of Arkadelphia. Asked to display the contents of his backpack, Jones complied. Police found a crack pipe. Advised he was under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia, Jones resisted, apparently violently. One of the three officers on scene, Cpl. Dexter Haddox, tasered Jones in the left buttock, but the move reportedly had no effect on his continued resistance. Officers “had to manually assist Jones in completing the task of putting his hands behind his back.” The struggle sent one policeman to the hospital for treatment of a minor scrape and sprain to his thumb.
