While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has loosened guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals, it is maintaining masking recommendations for certain facilities, including all healthcare settings.
Due to those guidelines, all Baxter Regional Medical Center (BRMC) facilities will continue to adhere to mask requirements, according to a statement from BRMC.
The CDC’s latest recommendations for masks are: fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, indoors or outdoors. However, CDC continues to recommend masks be worn where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local businesses and workplaces; such places include healthcare settings, planes or public transit, correctional facilities or homeless shelters.
An Izard County man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a purse at Baxter Regional Medical Center. Photos of 50-year-old Stephen Townsend of Wideman were posted on social media by Mountain Home police to help identify the suspect who was later recognized by a Flippin police officer during a traffic stop.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the case, it’s alleged Townsend took a purse from a chair at the hospital. Video surveillance shows Townsend taking the purse and carrying it through the facility.
A credit card from the purse was used to purchase a phone card but an attempt to use the card to purchase gas was unsuccessful.
