While conversing with the driver, 22-year-old Jacob Romig, of Madisonville, Louisiana, the officer got a whiff of marijuana emitting from the vehicle. Police ultimately searched the vehicle, finding pot, pipes, alcohol and empty beer cans inside. Romig, who admitted to drinking while at Oaklawn, submitted to a series of field sobriety tests, all of which he failed.

Officers were called to a residence at the 1900 block of Sylvia Street for a complaint of a known trespasser refusing to leave. Police arrived to find the trespasser, identified as Shawnee Beatrice Riley, 41, of Arkadelphia, seated on the floor. Learning she had been evicted from the residence three weeks prior, police gave instructions for her to leave, which she refused and asked to be taken to jail. Advised she was under arrest for criminal trespass, Riley refused to place her hands behind her back. Sgt. Jody Evans maced Riley in the face, which showed effect but gained no compliance, so Cpl. Jake Voss tasered Riley in the hip, away from the OC exposure, and was able to get her hands in cuffs. Refusing to stand or walk, officers dragged her by the arms from the residence to the carport area, where firefighters aided officers in getting Riley into a patrol car for transport to the jail, where she was booked on charges of criminal trespass, resisting arrest and obstruction of governmental operations.
