Man Shoots at Vehicle in New Blaine

06/20/2024

This afternoon, the Logan County Sheriff's Office received a call of a man driving by a residence on Springlake Road in New Blaine in eastern Logan County and shooting at a woman's truck. The suspect, who lives in the Dardanelle area, left the scene. The victim drove down to the New Blaine Trading Post and met us there. She stated that an acquaintance of hers was angry about a theft report she made about him in Pope County and decided to take revenge by shooting at her while she was visiting a residence in Logan County. Her vehicle was hit but no one was harmed.
 
Our criminal investigators and an Arkansas State Police special agent interviewed the witnesses and processed the scene. Several shell casings were found in the road. We searched the area and notified the Yell County Sheriff's Office, Dardanelle Police Department, and the authorities in Pope County and so far, the suspect has not been found. We believe this is an isolated incident and we will release suspect details later.
 
*This incident is not related to the murder suspect seen in the Morrilton area that was the subject of the release by the Arkansas State Police.
