TRUMANN, Ark. – Trumann Police Chief Chad Henson released information to the press Wednesday after an early morning incident that began with a 911 call where a gunshot was thought to have been heard in the background.
At approximately, 12:22 AM, the Trumann Police Department received a call from a female requesting help, the press release said. The female was unable to give any further information about the call as the Dispatcher could only hear a child crying in the background and a possible gunshot in the background.

At approximately 8:30 am, Trumann PD officers, along with the U.S. Marshal Eastern District Fugitive Task Force and Poinsett County Sheriff’s Office, arrested Denarius Chandler, 27, of Trumann.
