Boy, 11, detained in holdup at ATM
Police detained an 11-year-old boy after a 68-year-old woman was struck with a fake, plastic handgun during a robbery at a Little Rock bank ATM, authorities say.
Officers responded about 7:40 p.m. Saturday to 3500 S. University Ave., the listed address for a Bank of America branch, concerning a robbery, a Little Rock Police Department report states.
The victim said that she was at a Bank of America ATM when four boys -- listed as being between 11 and 14 -- approached her and brandished the toy gun during a demand for money.
According to the report, the woman got back inside her vehicle and tried to lock her doors, accidentally rolling a window down in the process.
One of the boys then hit her with the fake gun on the left side of her cheek near her eye, the woman told police.
While officers were en route, they found a group of boys in front of Big Country Chateau apartments, 6200 Colonel Glenn Road, police said. A fake gun was lying nearby, the report noted.
All of the boys were taken to to the 12th Street police substation for questioning. Only one boy, an 11-year-old whose name was not released, faces a charge of aggravated robbery.
The other three boys were reportedly released into the custody of their parents.
The report did not list what was taken in the robbery.

When police arrived, they found red marks and bruises along the woman's arms and wrists. The boy told officers he was not injured, according to the report.
