Kevin Wade Beck of Mountain Home was arrested on various drug charges after the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office responded to a public disturbance call shortly after midnight, Sheriff John Montgomery said.
At approximately 12:09 a.m. Tuesday morning, Deputy Bryce Hinson arrived at the Citgo Station on Buzzard Roost Road in response to a man yelling at a woman and threatening her. The man was identified as 40-year-old Kevin Beck, Montgomery said in a news release announcing the arrest.
Hinson arrived at the gas station and made contact with Beck, who was getting into a pickup truck intending to leave, the news release states. Beck was detained and arrested by the deputy because of an outstanding body attachment for non-payment of child support. Beck was searched as part of the arrest, and Hinson reportedly found a black pouch on Beck’s person that contained a scale, spoon, three needles, clear baggies and small bags of various substances believed to be approximately 6.28 grams of methamphetamine and approximately 1.74 grams of cocaine.
