A $75,000 bond was set Wednesday for a Pine Bluff man accused of running from an officer after nearly ramming into the officer’s patrol car; A separate $5,000 bond was set for breaking into a woman’s car and stealing her purse and other items.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge 36-year-old Kelsey Green with Fleeing.
