A $15,000 bond was set Monday for a Pine Bluff man accused of firing a shot at another man following an altercation Saturday.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Shanay Withers, 32, with aggravated assault and with theft by receiving because the gun Withers used had been reported stolen.
Reading from an affidavit by Pine Bluff Police Detective Dante Nicholson, Deputy Prosecutor Brittaney Akel said police were sent to a residence off Rayburn Road in response to a reported armed disturbance.
Akel said police ran the gun through the National Crime Information Center database and found that it had been reported stolen in Patterson, Texas in 2022.
Withers was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court July 14.
