Little Rock, Arkansas – Following an argument with an east Arkansas sheriff in a remote beanfield the previous day, a 66-year-old man was charged on Wednesday with first-degree violence on a law enforcement official, according to authorities.
Woodruff County Sheriff Phil Reynolds and Joseph Rudick got into a physical argument Tuesday night when the sheriff arrived to help put out a combine fire, according to state police.
According to state investigators, the event happened in a beanfield close to 3 Forks Road in Woodruff County at around 6:30 p.m.
The 57-year-old sheriff of McCrory, according to state police, took Rudick to jail before calling them for help.
