CONWAY — On Tuesday afternoon, a judge ordered a 27-year-old Center Conway man held without bail after he was charged with first-degree assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly shooting a 47-year-old man in the stomach and threatening him with a gun. The man’s attorney claims it is a case of self-defense.
On Monday afternoon, Conway police were dispatched to 1040 Stark Road in Conway for a report of a shooting involving two males.
