The alleged victim is described as a boyfriend to the suspect, a 29-year-old male.

Mia Nomora Colley, 34, of Jonesboro, was arrested for aggravated assault on a family or household member, a Class D felony. She was transported to the Craighead County Detention Center.

The charge carries a potential penalty of up to six years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

A $50,000 cash or surety bond was set for the defendant’s release. A no-contact order was also agreed upon, and an ankle monitor was ordered for her release, as well.

The probable cause affidavit says that officers responded and met with the alleged victim, who said his girlfriend came over and busted in through the door. He stated he got up and went toward the door when she began shooting a gun, sending him running back inside. The victim said the two had been arguing earlier and he went to a friend’s house, but she followed him and was beating on the windows.

A neighbor said she witnessed Colley arrive in a silver Chevy Malibu and run up to the door, busting through it with her shoulder. The neighbor added she also witnessed Colley shooting.

Officers contacted and arrested Colley. They found a box of bullets under the driver’s seat. Authorities did not find a pistol. When interviewed at the department, Colley reportedly told Detective Adam Hampton she had thrown the pistol out the window on Belt Street. Colley denied shooting at the suspect and told a version of the story that did not match the victim or witness, Hampton noted.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
