TEXARKANA — A Hempstead County man has been arrested after he beat a woman he thought stole a marijuana blunt, authorities said.
The Texarkana Gazette reported the 24-year-old man is in custody at the Hempstead County jail, where he's awaiting his first court appearance later this week.
According to a sheriff's office report, the beating occurred Sunday at a home. The report said the man purportedly found the blunt on the bathroom floor after beating the woman.
