A $13,000 bond was set Monday for a Pine Bluff man who was arrested after allegedly waving a knife at a group of people and threatening to kill them.

Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Derrick Boston, 34, with four counts of aggravated assault, four counts of terroristic threatening and one misdemeanor count of indecent exposure.

Reading from an affidavit by Detective Jason Boykin, Deputy Prosecutor Ty Spradlin said at about 6:05 p.m. Saturday, police were sent to 2123 S. Blake St., in response to a reported armed disturbance.

Boston was reportedly under the influence of intoxicants or drugs and was not interviewed.

He was ordered to have no contact with the victims and told to come back.
