An Arkansas man was arrested Sunday after he entered the hotel room of another person, unloaded his pistol and whipped the victim in the head with the gun, police said.
A Jacksonville police officer was sent to a Wal-Mart at 2000 John Harden Drive sometime before 9 a.m. to speak with the victim of an attack, according to a police report.
The victim told the officer that 29-year-old Calvin Clifford Parks of Hot Springs entered his room at the Motel 6 at 2110 John Harden Drive armed with a silver pistol, the report said.
The victim reported that Parks unloaded the gun, pointed it at him and then struck him in the back of the head a couple of times, police said.
Parks was later found in an SUV in the parking lot at the Lowes on White Drive. A gun was found inside the vehicle, as was a needle and spoon, the report said.
Parks was arrested on charges of aggravated residential burglary, third-degree battery and drug paraphernalia.
He was being held Monday at the Pulaski County jail in lieu of a $28,000 bond.
