Girlfriend accused of hindering arrest
A couple was arrested on Friday after officers trying to arrest a man were hindered by his girlfriend, according to an Arkansas State Police arrest report.
About 10:45 a.m. Thursday, a trooper pulled over a pickup driven by Jody Miller, 29, who was detained because of warrants and placed in the trooper's vehicle, the report said.
A woman, later identified as Krystal Baldwin, 29, pulled up to the vehicle in a four-wheeler and distracted the trooper long enough for Miller to escape into the woods before driving away in his truck, according to the report.
Another trooper saw the truck driven by Baldwin with a male passenger and attempted to stop the vehicle, which pulled up to a residence, the report said.
Baldwin was restrained and was questioned by police about the whereabouts of Miller, to which she said she did not know where he was, according to the report.
U.S. marshals, North Little Rock police K-9 units and state police troopers followed Miller's phone pinging to 6625 Bobby Lane, where Baldwin answered the door and said she did not know if Miller was in the house because she was sleeping, the report said.
Miller was found in the attic of the residence, and both Baldwin and Miller were arrested and taken to the Pulaski County jail.
Miller has no bond and is charged with felony theft of property, misdemeanor escape and misdemeanor fleeing police.
Baldwin has no bond and is charged with felony hindering apprehension, misdemeanor obstructing government operations, misdemeanor driving on a suspended driver's license, misdemeanor expired tags, misdemeanor diving without insurance and misdemeanor driving without a seat belt.
