LR woman charged with hiding suspect

A woman was arrested Friday night after Little Rock police said she was found harboring a suspect in a capital-murder case.

Shaldriale Strong, 35, of Little Rock is charged with one count of hindering apprehension, according to a police report.

Officers said Strong refused to let them into her house for nearly 30 minutes.

When Strong did let them in, officers found Calvin Thornton Jr., 27, in her attic.

Thornton was the third suspect arrested in the killing of 68-year-old Fred Pohnka Jr.

On July 8, Pohnka, a security guard, was found beaten to death in his home at 1217 S. Jackson St. His wallet, cellphone, TV and gun were stolen, according to a police report.

Thornton is being held at the Pulaski County jail on charges of capital murder and theft of property. His bail is set at $2,500.

As of Sunday, Strong was not listed in the jail's online inmate roster.
