Driver charged in U.S. 67/167 crash

An Arkansas State Police trooper arrested a man in a Friday night hit-and-run crash, according to an arrest report.

The trooper was called to a Citco fuel station in Sherwood where a woman told police that a vehicle driving recklessly on U.S. 67/167 South had intentionally rammed her vehicle, the report said.

About 11 p.m., Jacksonville police officers questioned David Salmons, 58, after he was seen driving a vehicle that matched the description given by the woman, the report said.

He denied causing the crash and said the woman had pointed a gun at him, according to the report.

Several witnesses called authorities to say that Salmons caused the crash, the report said.

Salmons was taken to the Pulaski County jail.

He is charged with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor reckless driving.
