Man seen dancing with gun; 2 held
Two North Little Rock men were arrested Sunday when officers saw one of them dancing at a gas pump with a semi-automatic gun in his hand, police said. The men were also purportedly found with Sprite bottles filled with cough syrup.
While on patrol just after midnight, Little Rock police saw a man holding a gun and "dancing and waving his hands in the air" at E-Z Mart, 1201 S. Woodrow St., according to an arrest report.
The officers followed the vehicle and waited for another patrol car before stopping it at Kum & Go, 6201 Colonel Glenn Road.
Police said the passenger, 21, Dewon Deshaun Williams, was sitting on a black semi-automatic handgun. Police also found two 2-liter Sprite bottles with "tinted" liquid inside.
The driver, 27-year-old Bobby Lockhart, told police the bottles contained cough syrup, the report states.
Both men are convicted felons. They were booked into Pulaski County jail on charges of possession of firearms by certain persons, possession of promethazine with purpose to deliver and simultaneous possession of drugs and guns.
They remained on the jail's roster late Sunday, and their bail had not been set.

A North Little Rock teenager fled from police Saturday and was found lying in a driveway with a gun and marijuana, according to an arrest report.
