A $5,000 cash only bond was set Friday for a Pine Bluff man currently on probation who allegedly bit and choked his former girlfriend.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bond after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Trvayon Lindsey, 23, with second offense third-degree domestic battery, a felony.
Reading from an affidavit by Detective Mike Merritt, Deputy Prosecutor Joe West said on the morning of July 2, police were sent to an apartment on East 36th where they met with the victim who had blood on her shirt and was holding a towel to her lip.
She told police Lindsey had been picked up by his mother.
West said Lindsey was convicted of misdemeanor domestic battery in March 2023 and is on probation for theft by receiving. Prosecutors will be filing a petition to revoke that probation.
Lindsey was ordered to have no contact with the victim and told to come back to court Aug. 9.
