According to an affidavit from Mountain Home police, a man was in his backyard burning yard debris in the 400 block of Justis street Sunday night when 27-year-old Colton Jay Crabtree allegedly came up to him and demanded his mother’s personal belongings from inside the victim’s house. Crabtree pulled a black pistol from his waistband and held it to the victim’s forehead, stating, “I will end your life if mom can’t get her clothes.”
A neighbor witnessed the Sunday night incident from inside of his home. The witness came outside his front door and Crabtree fled on foot towards 8th street.
Mountain Home officers found Crabtree on foot near the 8th street apartments and detained him. Officers found a loaded 9mm pistol in Crabtree’s rear waistband that contained 15 rounds.
Crabtree was arrested for aggravated assault and terroristic threatening. He was booked into the Baxter County jail on both of those felonies and the pistol was seized by officers as evidence.
Bail was set at $10,000.
