A Hot Springs Village teen was arrested on a felony warrant Monday night in Hot Springs Village stemming from allegations he shot a Hot Springs man in the face in July near the victim's residence.
Ashton Duane Topham, 19, who lists a Valencia Way address, was taken into custody shortly before 9:30 p.m. on DeSoto Center Drive by Hot Springs Village police on a charge of first-degree battery, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Topham remained in custody Tuesday in lieu of a $100,000 bond and is set to appear on Jan. 24 in Garland County District Court, although he will likely be arraigned before then if unable to post bond. According to court records, he lists no prior criminal history except for pleading guilty on April 4 to possession of alcohol by a minor, for which he was fined $180.
