Courtroom Brawl Leads To Man’s

Arrest

JONESBORO – Craighead County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 24-year-old man following a courthouse clash.

Around 12:30 p.m. Monday, a large fight broke out in the Craighead County Courthouse, according to an incident report. Several officers, including Deputy Philip Vanwinkle, responded to a bailiff’s radio calls for help.

When deputies made their way into the courthouse, they were met by a large group of people “yelling and being unruly.”

As they were clearing out the crowd, Vanwinkle said Quincy Lamont Rainey of Blytheville approached an officer in an “aggressive manner.”

The deputy put Rainey against the wall, then handcuffed him and took him to the Craighead County Detention Center.

Late-Fall Chill In The Air

Have you switched out your closet yet? For the next several days, highs will only reach the mid 50s with a northeast breeze at 7-12 mph.

A series of upper disturbances may bring more showers into parts of the state later this week but it won’t amount to much. It’ll feel quite chilly overnight with lows near 40.

A cold front is set to arrive Friday. The weekend is looking dry, however, with cooler than average weather.
