PARAGOULD, Ark. — An Arizona suspect was arrested after Paragould police said he allegedly assaulted a former partner, violated active orders of protection, and was found with the victim’s debit card.
According to a probable cause affidavit, officers responded at about 1:18 a.m. on April 12, 2026, to a residence on Greg Drive for a reported domestic disturbance.
As police arrived, a male fled from the home but was quickly apprehended and identified as Corree Proffitt, according to the affidavit. Officers said Proffitt smelled of intoxicants and exhibited slurred speech.
Police then spoke with the alleged victim, who reported that she and Proffitt were previously in a relationship and share three children, but are no longer together and he does not live at the home.
According to the affidavit, the victim said Proffitt showed up at her home drunk and was inside her vehicle. When she confronted him in the carport, denied him entry into the home and told him to leave, Proffitt became irate. She told police he punched her in the nose and placed her in a headlock, though she was able to escape as officers were arriving.
The victim later discovered one of her debit cards was missing after retrieving her ID from the vehicle, according to police.
Investigators said Proffitt was arrested and found to be in possession of the victim’s debit card. Police also said Proffitt had an active order of protection involving the victim and their three children as protected persons. The children were present in the home when the incident occurred, according to the affidavit.
Proffitt, 32, of Arizona, was arrested on charges of breaking or entering and theft of property, both Class D felonies, along with four counts of violation of a protection order, third-degree domestic battering and public intoxication, all misdemeanors.
His bail was set at $100,000 cash or surety with a requirement for an ankle monitor.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
