A $25,000 cash only bond was set Wednesday for a Pine Bluff man accused of punching his girlfriend in the face.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Tyrone Williams Jr., 21, with second-offense third-degree domestic battery, a felony.
According to a probable cause affidavit from Detective Lt. Derrick Neal, police were sent to the 300 block of West 11th Oct. 25 in response to a reported domestic disturbance.
Court records showed that Williams pleaded guilty to misdemeanor domestic battery in October of 2023. He was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Dec. 11.
