Police: Man jailed in drunken ruckus

An intoxicated man threatened to beat up two police officers Tuesday after causing a scene at a Little Rock apartment complex, according to a report.

Property managers and maintenance employees called police twice to 7700 N. Chicot Road on Tuesday reporting a drunken man causing a disturbance, according to the arrest report for Christopher Darell Graham, 32.

Graham threatened and yelled profanity at the managers and the officers at the scene, according to the report.

Graham faced charges of public intoxication and second-degree terroristic threatening. He was in the Pulaski County jail with no bail set as of Tuesday evening.

Two stabbings said to have drug link

A man was stabbed in the head and neck early Sunday during a fight outside a North Little Rock mall, authorities said.

The 22-year-old victim, Chase Archer of Texarkana, Texas, told police he was walking at 3 a.m. near McCain Mall, 3929 McCain Blvd., when a man approached him from behind, put a knife to his throat and demanded his money.

As he was getting cash from his wallet, he attempted to grab the knife and was stabbed in the right side of his neck and the right side of his head above the ear, according to a report from the city's Police Department.

Archer then fled to his home at the McCain Park Apartments, 3801 McCain Park Drive, where he pulled out the knife that was still lodged in his neck, the report states.

Archer was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock, where doctors said the cut above his ear penetrated his skull and was potentially serious. The wound on his neck was not considered life-threatening.

Officers said that when they responded to the scene, they were notified of another stabbing victim at CHI St. Vincent North in Sherwood. The 22-year-old patient, Caleb Shaw of Sherwood, had arrived from McCain Mall and claimed that Archer had pulled a knife on him, police wrote.

Archer later changed his story and told authorities that he had met Shaw at the mall to buy drugs when the struggle for the knife ensued, police said.

Neither man had been arrested.
