Man facing charges in 3 NLR robberies
A man has been arrested in three recent robberies at North Little Rock discount stores, police said.
Lynn Luster Davis, 39, faces three counts each of robbery and theft of property, according to a news release from the North Little Rock Police Department.
On Thursday, officers responded to the 800 block of Cypress Street, where they found Davis, authorities said.
Police said Davis, who matched a description of the culprit in three robberies, later agreed to speak with detectives and was arrested.
Two of the robberies happened Wednesday at Family Dollar stores: one that afternoon at 4149 E. Broadway and another that evening at 715 E. Broadway, according to police reports.
Another was reported May 13 at the Dollar General at 4613 John F. Kennedy Blvd.
Davis remained at the Pulaski County jail Saturday, according to an online inmate roster. His bail was set at $25,000.
Pedestrian beaten, robbed, police told
A man was robbed and attacked Thursday morning while walking in downtown Little Rock, police said, and one person was arrested.
Officers were flagged down by the 41-year-old man around 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and Louisiana Street, according to a report from the Little Rock Police Department.
The Perryville resident told officers that a man wearing a black trench coat robbed him of a ring and assaulted him with a blunt object in the 500 block of Louisiana Street.
Several injuries were seen on the 41-year-old's head and arms, according to the report.
Officers said they later found Jarmarques Bowers, 25, of North Little Rock walking "hastily" near Markham and Louisiana streets and stopped him. Bowers said he would "be throwing hands" if they touched him, at which point a stun gun was drawn, authorities said.
Bowers complied when told to get on the ground, and he was arrested, police said.
He faces charges of aggravated robbery and theft of property, records show. He pleaded innocent to the counts Friday morning in district court.
Bowers remained at the Pulaski County jail Saturday in lieu of $10,000 bond, according to an online inmate roster.
