Arkansas man jailed in stabbing outside bar, police say

Fort Smith police have arrested a 30-year-old man accused of stabbing another man last month.

Officers began looking for Richard Hunt after 28-year-old Jacob Holland was hospitalized with a stab wound Sept. 13, according to a news release from the Fort Smith Police Department.

At the hospital, the victim told officers Hunt had chased him through the parking lot outside Shooter's Bar & Grill on Grand Avenue before finally catching him and stabbing him in the back.

On Friday, officers found Hunt at Hope Campus, a homeless shelter that opened on South E Street earlier this year.

Hunt was arrested on a second-degree battery charge and taken to the Sebastian County jail, where he was being held in lieu of $5,000 bond Friday.
