A $2,500 bond was set Wednesday for a White Hall man accused of beating and choking a woman earlier in the month.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Tommy James, 39, with aggravated assault on a family or household member.
That bond amount was set following an agreement between prosecutors and an attorney for James.
Deputy Prosecutor Ty Spradlin said the victim came to the sheriff’s office to report the incident and he explained the allegation.
James was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Oct. 1.
