Two brothers arrested recently for drug crimes are now facing charges stemming from a fight they had in which the two accused each other of being “snitches” for the police.
The altercation happened at a residence in the Midway area and was apparently triggered by the fact 29-year-old Matthew Kyle Ford had pointed the finger at his 23-year-old brother Sean David Ford as the source of methamphetamine which the younger sibling had overdosed on in late January.
When sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found evidence of the fight, including a skillet embedded in the drywall.

A Mountain Home man found with a defaced firearm after a traffic stop claims he was carrying the weapon for protection from “COVID.”
According to an incident report from the Mountain Home Police Department (MHPD), 28-year-old Philip Andrew Wilson was arrested Sunday after the traffic stop on Spring Street. He was booked in the Baxter County Detention Center on charges of possession of a firearm by certain persons, meaning he is a convicted felon, as well as possession of a defaced firearm and theft by receiving.
The arrest followed Arkansas Game & Fish Officer Todd Haskins witnessing an SUV allegedly running a stop sign and almost crashing into his vehicle at the intersection of Spring and Redbud streets. Haskins began pursuit with his blue lights flashing, but the driver did not stop, until the vehicle reached the intersection of Spring and Russell.

A Baxter County woman arrested on drug charges reportedly threatened to wire shut the mouth of the person who reported her for reckless driving. Twenty-four-year-old Cheyenne Ward of Jordan has been booked into the Baxter County Detention Center with her bond set at $5,000.
According to a report, a Baxter County deputy was notified by dispatch just before 11 p.m. Sunday of a reckless driver traveling toward Mountain Home on Arkansas Highway 5 South. The deputy passed the vehicle on Ninth Street, turned around and caught up to it, as it traveled onto College Street. The vehicle later crossed a double yellow line to utilize a turning lane and turned onto Church Street. The deputy then initiated the traffic stop and was joined by two Mountain Home officers.
