A $50,000 bond was set Friday for a Pine Bluff man currently on parole who was arrested after police found the man with a handgun.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Carl Davis, 40, with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Reading from an affidavit by Detective Dante Nicholson, Deputy Prosecutor Brittaney Akel explaind the allegation against Davis.
Akel said Davis has prior convictions including for first-degree battery and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was told to come back to court April 12.
Davis will also be held without bond on a warrant alleging he violated terms of his parole and will he given a hearing on that allegation.
