A mud-covered Arkansan was cited by authorities after he drove deep grooves into the ground of a park Monday morning, police said.
Jonesboro Police officer Kiandra McCain arrived at Stricklin Park, located at 1111 S. Medallion Drive, around 5:30 a.m. after getting a call about a suspicious vehicle, according to a police report. She said she found 23-year-old Dylan G. Mullins of Brookland covered in mud, standing next to his blue 2007 Chrysler Sebring.
Mullins told McCain he was “trying to make a circle to get out of the park,” got stuck and was waiting on a co-worker to come help him, the report said. McCain reported there were deep ruts in the ground “throughout the park,” causing about $200 in damage.
Mullins, who also had a warrant out from the Craighead County sheriff’s office, was cited on a criminal mischief charge. He was then turned over to a county deputy, the report said.
A court date was scheduled for Monday afternoon.
