In an unusual follow-up to the story below, about the burglary of cars on a local church’s parking lot last Sunday night, apparently the theives felt remorse when they opened their collection, finding a study Bible of one of the victims.
A Monticello man was stabbed multiple times, and assaulted with many different household “weapons” Friday night (including a beer can, a boot, and a space heater,) after he tried to separate the suspect and the girlfriend that he as allegedly fighting with.
Recent Monticello Police Department reports include 2 residential burglaries, since New Year’s Eve.
Numerous Drew County Deputies responded to the false 911 call, reporting a man with a shotgun at the River Bar & Restaurant.
The Monticello Police Department, along with Walmart, Revival Center, and DHS, sponsored 53 children, this year for “shop with a cop”. Special thanks to pastor Michael Jones, JoAnn Trotter, Walmart staff and all the officers who participated.
This was a very rewarding experience for all involved, both children and adults.

Around noon Saturday, a Drew County man, estimated to be in his 20s, was seriously injured when a hunting rifle discharged as he was getting it out of his truck.
A Michigan man has been charged with illegally killing a deer on property owned by the University of Arkansas at Monticello. Gregory Shaw,40, of Taylor, Mich., was seen hunting on the Old Prisoner of War Camp owned by UAM. (more…)
Last Wednesday, a Desha County jury convicted Roy Lee Russell, of Dumas, for being a felon in possession in possession of a firearm and 2nd degree battery.
Russell was sentenced to 40 years and 15 years to run consecutively, which is the maximum sentence possible for those offenses.
Russell was found not guilty on 3 counts of kidnapping, 2 counts of rape, and one count of 2nd degree battery.
The trial began on Wednesday and concluded about 2pm Thursday.
