CONWAY — Almost exactly a year from the date of his arrest — which included being Tased and pepper-sprayed near Story Land in Glen — a Conway man failed to appear in Conway Circuit Court on Tuesday for trial.

On June 6, 2020, Chris Spinney, 36, then of Conway, was pulled over by Bartlett Police Cpl. Justin Washburn for having an outdated inspection sticker on the windshield of the Ford Taurus he was driving, but things evidently escalated from there.
