Bull Shoals law enforcement has arrested 29-year-old Chad Fry following an alleged domestic incident on the evening of Nov. 13th.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday, a female victim was found at an apartment on Crestline Drive in Bull Shoals with inflamed red marks around both sides of her neck, red marks on her face and blood on the corners of her mouth.
The victim told law enforcement her dispute with Fry occurred after the two returned to the apartment they shared. She said earlier in the evening they had been at a bar. When she decided to return home early, her decision agitated Fry.
When they returned home, Fry allegedly was enraged and proceeded to physically assault the victim by throwing her around the apartment, choking her, biting her face, and striking her with his fists.
The victim was able to escape from Fry and entered another apartment, where Fry reportedly confronted another woman and struck her in her left cheek and jaw through an open screen door.
When the neighbor told Fry she was calling the police, he fled.
The victim was transported by ambulance to Baxter Regional Medical Center.
The officer continued his search for Fry throughout the evening, returning later that night to the apartment the man shared with the victim. Inside the residence, he discovered Fry hiding in a small closet adjacent to the apartment’s kitchenette.
Fry refused to exit the closet but eventually complied after facing a threat of tasing. The Bull Shoals man continued to resist arrest, leading to a Flippin police officer responding to assist.
When Fry was searched, two clear plastic bags containing a leafy green substance consistent with marijuana were located, along with a small blue glass pipe.
During a follow-up interview with the victim after she had been released from the hospital, the woman told law enforcement she was choked by Fry until she lost consciousness.
Fry has been charged with a felony count of assault, along with misdemeanor counts of battery, resisting arrest, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
His bond was set at $10,000.
