Pulaski County deputies were sent to 3516 Arkansas 161, where someone had called in a report of a disturbance. They attempted to remove Lance Andrew Montgomery, 21, from the area, the report said.

Montgomery began pushing deputies, kicked one officer and slammed into a patrol car, producing dents and scratches on the vehicle, the report said.

Police: 3 kids left alone, adults held

A Little Rock couple and their baby sitter were arrested Tuesday after leaving three children, ages 2 to 7, alone in an apartment complex, an arrest report said.

Douglas Vincente Mencos Curiales, 34, Blanca Carolina Lopez Guzman, 30, and Maximino Hernandez, 33, were arrested on three charges each of first-degree endangering the welfare of a minor after a neighbor found three children alone in Mencos Curiales' and Lopez Guzman's apartment, the report said.

The couple left Hernandez in charge of the children while they went to a meeting in Sheridan, but the report said the parents knew Hernandez intended to leave the kids while he went to Burlington Coat Factory to pick up a job brochure.
