BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a shooting where a Bentonville officer shot an alleged assault suspect on Thursday night.
A news release said Bentonville police responded to a disturbance call around 6 p.m. at Southwest Castlewood Street.
