WHITE COUNTY, AR - A White County man has been arrested for kidnapping after leading authorities on a chase.

According to reports, around 8:30 pm on December 17, deputies with the White County Sheriff’s Office were called to Foxchase Road, in regards to a domestic disturbance. When they arrived, deputies were informed that the suspect, later identified as 22-year-old Deonte Turner of Searcy, had forced a female victim into a brown Jeep at gunpoint and left the area.

Deputies were able to find Turner’s vehicle and attempted to stop it. Turner led deputies through several Searcy streets and residential lawns. Turner eventually exited the vehicle, while it was still in motion, near the intersection of College Street and Park Street. After a brief foot pursuit, deputies found Turner lying in tall grass.

Turner was arrested and charged with kidnapping, felony fleeing, possession of a firearm by certain persons, possession of a controlled substance, simultaneous possession of a firearm and domestic battery. Turner is being held at the White County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond.

Getoverit1, you are definitely showing your true color, and I dont mean race. You are a pathetic loser that truly fits the definition of *the N word most find offensive, but dont know the true meaning of the word*. Why dont you do some research and stop showing your ignorance. Almost all of us here comment the same towards criminals, no matter their race. You are the dumb shat that keeps bring race into every damn comment you make. You are a complete moron.

I hope that female victim isn't going to rely on the police for her future protection from this perp. It's called concealed carry, honey. Get yourself a Smith & Wesson and learn how to use it.

I guess first off to the white news is there isn't near as much of it as the other. The ratio is still about 11 to 1. That makes black about 10 percent. Although that being true the lesser amount commit 90 percent of the crime. Can you read and do math GETOVERYOURSELF1. The rest of us can.

Wow, why is there never any comments on the "white crime" news articles. I guess we know who are making all the comments under the black ones. Wake up, you are not fooling anybody. We are all one race, the human race, so stop acting like evil doesn't roam in your "red neck" of the woods. :) See below BENTON, AR – Benton Police arrested a 30-year-old man on a warrant for two rape charges.
