A Pine Bluff man previously convicted of two felonies was arrested Sunday after police found two guns in his residence.
Marquell White, 26, had prior convictions in 2014 for theft of property and in 2016 for aggravated assault, terroristic act, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
During a court hearing Monday, Deputy Prosecutor Lisa McGriff said White was arrested after police were sent to 2401 W. 31st Ave., in response to a reported disturbance.
