A $100,000 bond was set Monday for a Pine Bluff man accused of beating his girlfriend with a baseball bat and threatening to kill her.
Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Melchizdek Muhammad, 47, with first-degree domestic battery.
Reading from an affidavit from Detective Shaun Watson, Deputy Prosecutor Joe West explained the allegation.
Muhammad was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Jan. 16.
