Intruders got $850, LR hotel guest says Bullet in LR hits bed where woman lying

-

A woman says two armed strangers robbed her of an iPhone and $850 after they forced their way into her hotel room Saturday, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

Authoritie­s were called shortly after 6:30 a.m. to the Days Inn at 901 Fair Park Blvd. in reference to a robbery, according to a Police Department report.

The 21-year-old victim, who said she was from California, told authoritie­s that she heard an individual knocking and opened the door. At that time, a second person suddenly appeared and pushed her into the room, the victim said.

She told police that one robber placed a gun to her head as the other retrieved $850 from a pillowcase and an iPhone 6. The assailants reportedly told her to go to the bathroom, and when she went back into the room, the pair had fled, the report states.

Officers noted that items on the bed were in disarray and the room “smelled heavily of marijuana.”

A bullet went through a window and damaged a headboard while a woman was lying in bed early Sunday in west Little Rock, authoritie­s said.

It happened about 3 a.m. at an apartment in the 1900 block of Green Mountain Drive. No injuries were reported.

A 29-year-old resident told investigat­ors she went to bed a short time before she heard a loud noise from her window, according to a Little Rock Police Department report. The woman called her brother, who found a “firearm projectile fragment on the carpet” and noticed the headboard had been damaged, the report noted.

An officer responded and found damage to another building in the complex that appeared to be related, authoritie­s wrote.

The woman told investigat­ors she couldn’t think of anyone who would want to hurt her.

No suspects were named, and no arrests had been made at the time the report was filed.
