LITTLE ROCK, AR - Deputies arrested a man and charged him with battery after they say he broke windows out of his ex-girlfriend's home, pushed her, then stabbed her son when he tried to intervene.
The incident took place in the 4000 block of Slinker Road. Justine Goforth told deputies that she was awakened by her ex-boyfriend, 53-year-old Lawrence Colclough, beating on her door. She said that when she didn't answer, he broke out her bedroom windows.
