A Pine Bluff man with a prior conviction for misdemeanor domestic battery is facing a felony allegation after being arrested Saturday.

Reading from an affidavit from Detective Chris Wieland, she said at 6 a.m. Saturday, police were sent to an apartment at 4601 S. Main in response to a reported domestic disturbance where they spoke to the victim. She said she and Ladd, he husband had gone to a club and then returned to their residence at 6004 S. Cedar St.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set a $5,000 bond for Ladd and ordered him to have no contact with the victim until the case is settled.
