Officer's arm shut in door during arrest
A North Little Rock man arrested Sunday is accused of injuring one police officer and threatening another, police reported.
Deshon Martin, 22, was booked into the Pulaski County jail Sunday on charges of second-degree battery, terroristic threatening and third-degree domestic battery, all felonies. He is also facing multiple misdemeanor charges, including resisting arrest, fleeing and disorderly conduct.
Police responded to 601 Parkdale St. in North Little Rock at 11 a.m. and saw Martin and a woman fighting outside of a residence, according to a police report. Police said Martin ran inside the home and slammed the front door on an officer's arm on the way in, causing injury.
Martin eventually went back outside and yelled obscenities while being placed under arrest, police said. On the way to the jail, he purportedly told an officer, "I'm going to get my family, and we're going to put you in the hospital."
The woman was taken to Baptist Health Medical Center with injuries to her head, face, neck and back.
As of Sunday evening, Martin was being held in lieu of bond.
