NLR police arrest man in shooting

A man is in custody after leading North Little Rock police on a chase from just off North Main Street to the Levy neighborhood Monday night, where he was ultimately caught and arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting, police said.

The man, whom police did not identify Monday night, shot another man from his vehicle at 15th and Poplar streets about 8:45 p.m. Monday, police said. He was arrested and taken to Pulaski County jail later Monday night, officer Carmen Helton said.

The victim, who was also not identified, suffered a gunshot wound in one of his legs and was taken to Baptist Health on Springhill Drive, Helton said. A bullet grazed his right leg, and another entered his leg. Helton said she did not know his condition Monday night.

Helton said she did not have the names or ages of the men involved and did not say what charges they faced.
