FAYETTEVILLE -- A Springdale man pleaded guilty Tuesday in Washington County Circuit Court to beating a woman and holding her against her will in March.
Pascual Carbajal, 21, of 401 Geneva St., pleaded guilty to domestic battery, false imprisonment and terroristic threatening. He was sentenced to six years in prison, suspended, fined $1,000 and ordered to have no contact with the victim.
The beating and abuse spanned roughly nine hours while the woman's three small children were in the home, according to police. The woman escaped and called police from a neighbor's house. She was treated at Northwest Medical Center in Springdale.
Carbajal also was sentenced to six years at the Arkansas Department of Correction on an unrelated probation violation involving a prior domestic-battery conviction.
Carbajal was arrested in May after the driver of a car in which he was riding led deputies on a high-speed chase that ended in a wreck in Rogers. Carbajal's arm was broken in multiple places and the driver of the vehicle had to be resuscitated.
Carbajal has a criminal history, including possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver, theft of property and carrying prohibited weapons, according to Springdale police.
Carbajal, who calls himself "Aimer," is linked to a gang called Wicked Brown Suspects, according to police. Teens told police they were looking for Carbajal when they shot and killed Jimmy Rodriguez, 20, in April in Springdale. The drive-by shooting was gang related, police said.
