Arkansas man arrested for fatally shooting 66-year-old with crossbow: cops

A man lethally shot a bolt at a 66-year-old person in an Arkansas loft, and police found the casualty with the crossbow bolt standing out of him, police say.

Little Stone police said Jerry Crutcher, 56, terminated the bolt at Charlie Williams last Sunday in the casualty’s loft. Police tracked down Williams dead at 4:40 a.m. with the crossbow bolt standing out of him.

Police added that during the occurrence, a subsequent casualty was related to a bolt wound. Crutcher was arrested Friday evening and accused of first-degree murder and second-degree battery.

He is as of now being held at the Pulaski District prison on a $500,000 cash bond.

It wasn’t clear what started the slaughter. Murder by crossbow has happened before in The Normal State.

In 2020, Clinton Youthful, 42, was captured for shooting his 46-year-former sweetheart in the stomach with a crossbow bolt in Saline Region.

What’s more, in 2015, 20-year-olds Jonathan Guenther and Brad Tracker Smith were accused of killing Cherrish Allbright, a 21-year-old pregnant lady, with a crossbow and beating her with a slugging stick in Cleveland Region.

A review from Western Michigan College observed that there were something like 14 crossbow manslaughter cases in the US somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2019.

While a crossbow bolt can be deadly, individuals can endure being taken shots at, including Chinese occupant Xiao Peng, who was hit close to the heart with a bolt in 2020 and was captured with it still in his chest.
