An Arkansan was arrested Tuesday after being accused of pulling hair off his daughter's head while she was driving with her children, almost causing her to wreck, the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record reported.

Gregory Galloway, 58, was taken into custody around 9 p.m. and charged with two counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and one count of third-degree domestic battery.

He had been released from the Garland County jail by Thursday evening.

According to a probable cause affidavit, deputies with the Garland County sheriff's office responded to the 2900 block of Airport Road shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Galloway's 33-year-old daughter told deputies he got mad at her and grabbed her by the hair while she was driving down Airport Road in a 55 mph zone. Deputies observed hair missing from her head and her two children — a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy — in the back seat of the vehicle.

The woman said Galloway had left walking west on Airport Road. Deputies located him at Sonic Drive-in, 1528 Airport Road.

The daughter said when Galloway grabbed her hair it caused her to abruptly change lanes and she had to quickly use her brakes to avoid a crash.
