FORT SMITH -- Police reported a 30-year-old Lavaca man drove by a home where his ex-girlfriend was hiding from him early Tuesday and shot near where the woman, her parents and a friend were gathered.
Donnie White was arrested shortly after the 12:45 a.m. shooting in the 200 block of South 12th Street. The release said a bullet hit a car that was occupied by the friend but no one was injured.
White was booked into the Sebastian County jail where he was being held without bond on felony charges of terroristic act and aggravated assault of a family or household member, and in lieu of $15,500 bond on four counts of aggravated assault and first-degree terroristic threatening, all felonies.
The friend was waiting in a car to pick up the ex-girlfriend, and the ex-girlfriend and her parents were near the car when the shooting occurred, the release said. The ex-girlfriend was hiding at her parents' home because of a previous domestic problem with White in Lavaca.
Police arrested White without incident a short time after the shooting in the 1300 block of South 12th Street.
Before the shooting, the release said, White had rammed the friend's car and followed it to the home of the ex-girlfriend's parents.
