A Gamaliel man whose criminal record goes back 21 years returned to Baxter County Circuit Court to face new charges Thursday.
Forty-year-old Joshua Brotherton entered a not guilty plea to charges of theft of property and domestic battery.
He was booked into the Baxter County jail Feb. 26 with bond set at $7,000.
According to the probable cause affidavit, just after 2:30 a.m. Dec. 3, Baxter County sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to an address along Arkansas Highway 101 where a woman was reported to need assistance.
The deputies found the woman standing along the driveway at the Highway 101 residence.
The victim told the lawmen she had been assaulted by Brotherton. She reported being “hit all over her body.”
