The Arkansas City Police Department arrested an Ark City man early Wednesday afternoon in connection with a pair of aggravated assaults, according to a news release from the ACPD Friday.
T.J. Hollins Jr., 60, was arrested on suspicion of two felony counts of aggravated assault and one felony count of criminal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Hollins was booked into the Cowley County Jail in Winfield on a bond of $25,000 through Cowley County District Court in Ark City.
He remained in custody at the time of this release.
A 55-year-old Ark City man and a 49-year-old Ark City woman, who live together, came to the police department at 3:13 p.m. Wednesday to report having had a firearm pointed at them.
Officers interviewed both victims and learned an altercation had ensued in which the suspect, later identified as Hollins, had emerged from a residence while brandishing a firearm at the couple.
He allegedly leveled the weapon at the pair as they fled the neighborhood and returned to their vehicle.
Police gathered sufficient information to apply for a search warrant for the residence, where they retrieved the weapon in question following a search and then took Hollins into custody without incident.
