Police arrested a Rogers woman and three juveniles Saturday in connection with a shooting near Sanders Avenue in Springdale.
Michelle Martinez-Maldonado, 18, of 1217 Persimmon St. in Rogers was arrested in connection with unlawful discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, possession of a firearm by certain persons, engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise and engaging in violent criminal group activity, all felonies.
Martinez-Maldonado also faces misdemeanor charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession or purchase of alcohol by a minor.
The three juveniles, all male, were taken to the Springdale Police Department, according to a preliminary arrest report.
Martinez-Maldonado was released Sunday from the Washington County Detention Center after posting a partial $5,000 bond.
A Springdale officer went to AQ Circle after hearing five gunshots about 5:25 a.m. Saturday, according to the report.
The officer identified Martinez-Maldonado riding in the front passenger seat and the three juveniles as "known gang members" after stopping a white Toyota Camry traveling west on Sanders Avenue, according to the report.
The officer noticed a spent shell casing between the rear seat and rear passenger door when one of the juveniles got out of the car. The officer believed the bullet casing was freshly spent because carbon powder was visible, according to the report.
There were no injuries in the shooting, according to the report.
