When officers told Sharpe they would have to go inside to ensure there was no injured person there, Sharpe "became irate" and began "wrestling" with officers, the report said.

The report does not say whether officers found anyone inside the house.

A 16-year-old was arrested Monday evening in a weekend shooting in Little Rock that left two teens injured, police said.

Officers arrested Ladarius Burnette of North Little Rock in connection with the Sunday shooting, which happened shortly before 9 a.m. at the Staybridge Suites, 1020 S. University Ave., a Little Rock police news release states.

Officers who responded to the call found a 16-year-old boy who had been shot multiple times in his upper body and a 15-year-old girl who had been shot in her lower body, according to a police report.

Police spokesman officer Eric Barnes said Tuesday evening that the boy was in critical but stable condition and that the girl was still in stable condition.

Burnette was booked into the Pulaski County jail and faces two counts of first-degree battery, Barnes said.
