A gunshot victim said she was "playing Taser with" the man who shot her in the arm early Saturday night.

Little Rock investigators met a witness at Arkansas Children's Hospital not long after officers received a call of shots fired from 1210 Geyer St.

The witness told police she was at her Geyer Street home when Mercedes Harris, 22, ran up to her, bleeding from a gunshot wound.

According to police, the witness took Harris to the hospital, and "the victim told her she tried to tase the suspect when he pulled out a gun and shot her in the left arm."

The witness also described the gunman as a black man wearing bluejean shorts and a dark T-shirt.

The shooting remains under investigation.

LR man shot in leg

while outside home

A Little Rock man was taken to the hospital by his mother after he was shot outside his home Saturday afternoon.

Little Rock officers went to 5201 Geyer Springs Road at 1:06 p.m. on a shooting call, only to send a detective to a local emergency room to talk with the victim.

Arron Morrison, 23, told police that he was outside his house talking to family members when two unknown people in the street started arguing, pulled out guns and started shooting at one another, hitting Morrison in the leg.

But the victim's mother told officers that she was outside talking when a different person pulled up to the house in a van with a blue stripe and eventually pulled a gun and "started shooting randomly," reports said.

Morrison's injury is not life-threatening, according to police, and the shooting remains under investigation.

Parolee charged

in speedy chase

A Pulaski County sheriff's office deputy arrested a 46-year-old parolee Sunday afternoon after he reportedly led authorities on a high-speed chase just outside North Little Rock.

Charles Dill, of North Little Rock, was arrested and charged with 16 offenses, including theft and aggravated assault of an officer. He remained in the Pulaski County jail Monday night in lieu of a $19,700 bond.

The deputy first spotted the man driving a white Chevrolet truck with a falsified license plate at 10609 MacArthur Drive, according to a sheriff's office report. The deputy followed the man and attempted to pull him over.

The truck slowed down and then accelerated quickly, the report said. The truck then went east on MacArthur Drive at speeds up to 80 miles per hour and crossed double-yellow lines several times to pass vehicles, the report stated.

The chase continued into North Little Rock, where the man eventually drove the truck onto Buttercup Circle, where he drove through one yard, turned around, then went through a cul-de-sac, drove into a gate, through another backyard and into another fence, the report said.

The man, whom police identified as Dill, then got out of the car and ran away from the deputy, who set a police dog on him. North Little Rock police then helped the deputy arrest Dill.

Authorities later discovered that the truck had been reported stolen.
