Police say man shot his cousin's 2 dogs
An Arkansas man was arrested after authorities say he shot two of his cousin's dogs with a rifle on Friday.
Pulaski County deputies arrived at the home of Christopher John Hudson, 28, in the 8100 block of Hudson Road in Roland shortly after 5 p.m. after getting a call he had shot a couple of dogs, Deputy Justin Burnett said in a report.
Hudson tried to block authorities from entering his home, but deputies kicked the door down and arrested him, Burnett wrote.
Authorities then spoke with Hudson's cousin, who said he was deer hunting near his residence when he heard gunshots followed by two dogs "yelping." When he got home, he saw two of his dogs had been shot but were still alive, and he accused Hudson of being the shooter, Burnett wrote.
Authorities reported finding a rifle in the home and Hudson had a bullet in his front pocket, according to the report. Glass and plastic pipes were also found in his bedroom closet, the report said.
Hudson was taken to Pulaski County jail and faces charges of first-degree assault, possession of drug paraphernalia and obstructing governmental operations.
Sherwood man held in rape of girl, 12
An Arkansas man was arrested and charged with the rape of a 12-year-old girl at a North Little Rock residence in late November, according to police.
Officers arrived at a home on Short 17th Street around 11:44 p.m. on Nov. 28 in response to a possible sexual assault, according to a North Little Rock police report. Authorities say Ambrose Bernard Williams, 32, of Sherwood was inside the residence, and the victim, a 12-year-old girl, was at a neighbor's house.
Williams told police he and the girl were "wrestling" in the living room earlier that day, but that was all, officer Joseph Smith said in a report. The girl's pajamas were ripped, and her mother said her daughter reported that Williams touched her inappropriately, according to the report.
The victim was taken to Arkansas Children's Hospital, and Williams was arrested on an outstanding warrant from the Greenbrier Police Department, officials said.
He was later charged with rape and booked into Pulaski County jail on Friday, records show. He is being held in lieu of $50,000 bond.
