Two Pine Bluff men and a juvenile male were arrested Wednesday after they were found in a car that had been reported stolen.

Ladextriaus Irby, 22, and Kevion Harris, 28, were taken into custody after police conducted a felony traffic stop on the vehicle.

Reading from a probable cause affidavit from Detective Tamina Smith during a court hearing Friday, Deputy Prosecutor Mircha King said the owner of the car, a Nissan Altima, called police on July 13 to report that her vehicle had been stolen. She said she woke up and the vehicle was gone.

On Wednesday, police received a report that she had seen several black males get into the vehicle and attempt to leave.

The 16-year-old juvenile male was not questioned because no guardian was located.

King ask for bonds of $5,000 each for Irby and Harris but Lincoln County District Judge Phillip Green set bonds of $2,500 each after saying neither man had prior convictions or pending charges. Green was filling in for Jefferson County District Judge Kim Bridgforth.
