A $10,000 cash only bond was set Wednesday for a Pine Bluff man accused of hitting an elderly man with a bat.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Samuel Wesley, 39, with second-degree battery.
Deputy Prosecutor Brittaney Akel said on Tuesday at 2:45 a.m., police were sent to 4600 Dollarway Road, Room 202, in response to a battery report.
Akel said Wesley has four prior felony convictions and one charge pending.
He was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court May 28.
