City Arrests

Latashia D. Hayes, 43, 620 1/2 Louis, was arrested June 16 for aggravated assault on a family or household member. Hayes's ex-boyfriend told police he reluctantly allowed Hayes to spend the night at his residence in the 400 block of West Oak after she said she needed a place to spend the night. He noted that due to past altercations between the pair, Hayes had been banned from the property. When he asked Hayes to leave the following morning, she became irate and began knocking over objects and scattering items throughout the house, according to a police report. The man said Hayes shoved him into a corner in the kitchen, ignoring repeated requests to stop, and snatched a chain off his neck. He said she then retrieved a large "chopping knife" from a kitchen drawer and said, "If I have to leave, then you're going to jail." He said Hayes turned around and began cutting her upper left arm with the knife as he yelled for someone to call police, noting that his cellphone was in his truck at the time. Police said Hayes had several lacerations on her arm, and she refused medical attention. Police said they found the knife underneath a bag belonging to Hayes and seized it as evidence.

Carolyn D. Walker, 47, of 815 W. First, was arrested June 16 on warrants for absconding and contempt of court.

Douglas E. Palmer, 72, of Hampton, was arrested June 15 for first-degree terroristic threatening. A witness said Palmer threatened another man with a knife during an argument at the Salvation Army, 419 South Madison. The witness said the argument began inside the facility and the two men moved outside, where Palmer produced a pocketknife and unfolded it, saying, "I'm gonna get you once and for all." Palmer then left the area, walking east on Hillsboro, the witness said. Police took Palmer into custody minutes later after spotting him walking across the Hillsboro Street viaduct. Police said Palmer was carrying a black knife and they drew their service weapons when he did not initially comply with commands to drop the knife.

Kyle W. Schroeder, 18, no address available, was arrested June 15 for terroristic threatening, first-degree. Schroeder's ex-girlfriend told police that Schroeder refused to leave her front yard in the 1300 block of Woodland, and when she told him he could not come inside her residence, he threatened to burn down her house. She said he also threatened her and her current boyfriend and threw objects at her house.

After determining that Loggins was not wearing the item, police said they conducted a search — per a waiver that is on file for Loggins with the Arkansas Department of Community Correction — and found a handgun and bag of marijuana inside Loggins's left front pants pocket.

Elwin E. Gilliam, 32, of Little Rock, was arrested June 11 for second-degree battery. Officers responded at approximately 4:20 p.m. to a report of a stabbing at the Salvation Army, 419 S. Madison. A man told police that Gilliam approached him from behind and stabbed him. The man said he initially thought someone had struck him with closed fists and did not immediately realize he had been stabbed. He said he turned around and saw Gilliam running away.
