A $15,000 bond was set Tuesday for a Pine Bluff man accused of threatening his son during an altercation Monday.

Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Richard Todd Baker, 44, with terroristic threatening.

Reading from an affidavit by Detective Keith Banks, Deputy Prosecutor Brittany Akel said police were sent to 4516 W. 27th Ave., in response to a reported domestic disturbance.

Akel said Baker has prior felony convictions dating back to 2001 including robbery, second-degree domestic battery, third-degree domestic battery, terroristic threatening, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Baker was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Aug. 1
