Stun gun deployed in fracas at shop

An officer used a stun gun on a man who broke a cash register scanner with a shopping basket during an altercation at a North Little Rock discount store, authorities reported.

Aaron Dobbins, 23, of North Little Rock was arrested around 10:35 a.m. Sunday on charges of criminal mischief, assault on a family member, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, according to a report.

Officers were notified by customers in the parking lot of the Dollar Tree at 3801 Camp Robinson Road that a disturbance was happening inside the store.

Dobbins was found yelling profanities at a female employee, who was later identified as his girlfriend, the report states.

After Dobbins refused to leave, an officer tried to arrest him, but Dobbins fought back, according to authorities.

The officer used a stun gun on Dobbins before he was taken into custody, police said.

The store manager valued the broken register scanner at $1,200.
