Feeling flat

110833861

A Bella Vista man is in police custody for supposedly slashing tires in South of South.

Responding to a radio call of slashed tires in the 1700 block of Christian Street at 1:25 a.m. April 23, officers noticed a man whose description matched that of the flash description they had heard, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said, as he sat on the ground next to a dark Honda Civic. Observing a knife on the ground next to the figure, they surveyed the block and observed 13 vehicles with slashing-induced flat tires, arresting Christopher Nelson, of the 900 block of South Fifth Street, and charging the 54-year-old with criminal mischief. He had not posted his $1,000 bail as of press time and awaits a May 24 status hearing.
