Candidate admitted following concerning behavior

A voluntary admissions report filed Saturday by JPD involved one of four candidates for mayor in Jonesboro. A relative of a law enforcement officer texted him a “911” message, prompting him to radio for officers to go to the house. The officer who arrived at the address on South Flint Street found a rifle leaning against the wall outside. The AR-15 was loaded with the selector switch set to fire. The officer cleared the round from the chamber and unloaded the weapon before placing it into the trunk of his patrol vehicle.

According to the report, the resident (who had text 911) heard a knock at the door and looked outside to see her neighbor, Amanda M. Dunavant, 33, of Jonesboro, carrying a rifle. Dunavant sat on the couch and the report said began saying things that did not make sense, such as people were out to kill her, she was in danger, and (accused criminal/former clerk) Kade Holliday had opened an account in her name with over $300 million inside. All throughout this, the report said she would place the barrel pointing at her own forehead.

Another officer on the scene reported Dunavant seemed to be in a paranoid state, either, “from a mental breakdown or possibly from ingesting narcotics.” After the officer spoke to her husband, he learned Dunavant had been acting very strange for the past week – since a female friend of hers began coming over around midnight.

Dunavant protested but relented and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for medical evaluation.

Authorities retained the rifle and asked family, who agreed, to remove all guns from the household.

Dunavant is one of four who have filed for the Jonesboro mayor’s race.
