On 1/31/14, at approximately 3:00 AM, an officer with the Benton Police Department was conducting a foot patrol of Bailey’s Trailer Park (601 N. Summit Rd.) when he observed a subject wearing all dark clothing walking near wood line behind a trailer.
The officer then went to make contact with the subject, later identified as Roy Breshears (38 YOA), and noticed the subject appeared to conceal something. Upon further investigation, it was determined that Breshears had attempted to conceal a pistol. It was determined the pistol had previously been reported stolen out of our department and Breshears was subsequently placed under arrest.
Breshears is charged with Possession of a Firearm by Certain Persons (Felon), Theft by Receiving, and Drug Paraphernalia. The drug paraphernalia charge stems from scales found in his possession that appeared to have been used with illegal narcotics. Additionally, Breshears is an active parolee out of the Arkansas Department of Community Corrections.
