A $25,000 bond was set Tuesday for a Pine Bluff man who allegedly fired shots at a police officer as she was driving down the street in her private vehicle.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Donta Greer, 22, with three counts of aggravated assault.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the officer, who was not identified in the affidavit, had her two children in the vehicle with her at the time of the incident.
Pine Bluff Police Department Detective Kaylon McDaniel said in the affidavit that the off-duty officer reported that she was traveling west on 27th Avenue near Beech Street when a person in another vehicle shot at her after she blew her horn at the other vehicle. She was able to take the suspect, later identified as Greer, into custody near Popeye’s Chicken at 27th Avenue and Olive Street.
McDaniel reported that police located a weapon when Greer was arrested, and when he was questioned, he allegedly said that he fired a shot out of his vehicle toward someone “that was supposedly after him during previous altercations with him and others.”
The Public Defender’s Office was appointed to represent Greer.
