Police Log: New year comes in relatively quiet, police say
The new year came in without much trouble, according to the Conway Police Department.
Sgt. Michael Edgmon said that patrol officers were busy "working parties" but there was not much trouble as far as people drinking and driving.
Two 18-year-old Conway men were arrested 45 minutes into the new year for public intoxication after police responded to a call regarding an excessively loud party on Majestic Circle.
A 26-year-old Conway man was arrested at 3:06 a.m. for disorderly conduct after police responded to a possible fight in progress. According to a police report, officers arrived on the scene and found a large group of people "yelling and screaming." The man arrested reportedly continued to yell racial slurs to a group of black males and females after officers arrived.
He was transported to the Conway Police Department, where he was cited and jailed at the Faulkner County Detention Center.
