Police arrest man on U.S. warrants

Little Rock police on Thursday afternoon arrested a man who was wanted on federal warrants and who police say attempted to flee while armed, according to an arrest report.

Officers say Teri Walker, 42, of Little Rock, fled while authorities were trying to arrest him near 11110 Beverly Hills Drive on federal and state parole absconding warrants. Police said Walker struck a vehicle while trying to flee Arkansas Community Corrections personnel who attempted to block him in.

After his arrest around 1 p.m., officers found a gun in a backpack he had, police said.

In addition to the warrants, Walker faces charges of felony possession of a firearm by certain persons and was issued a traffic citation for a hit and run.
