LR man in custody after shot reported

Little Rock police arrested a man Tuesday morning who they say pulled a knife and then a gun, firing a shot in the air, during a fight over a dog, according to an arrest report.

The victim told police Michael Roberts, 48, of Little Rock approached him and said he wanted his dog back, then pulled a knife, according to the report. The report lists the arrest location as 8801 Baseline Road.

In response, the victim told officers he grabbed a screwdriver, which prompted Roberts to pull out a small handgun and fire a round over the victim’s head, the report says.

Both men were interviewed by detectives, and Roberts was arrested around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday on a charge of felony aggravated assault.
