SPRINGDALE (KFSM) – A Springdale man was arrested on Sunday (May 31) on suspicion of raping an underage girl, police say.

Anthony White, 32, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center on Monday (June 1) at 3:26 a.m., and he faces a charge of rape, according to jail records.

On Sunday at 1:24 p.m., a woman and an underage girl came to the Springdale Police Department. They said White had raped the underage girl two or three times a week for nearly a year, according to an arrest report.

White was later interviewed, and he admitted to touching the victim inappropriately, the report states. He denied raping her, but the arrest report said his denials were “weak,” and he had trouble keeping eye contact with investigators during the interview.

Police asked for his consent to get a DNA sample, but he denied that request and asked for his attorney, the report states.

He was later taken into custody. White’s first hearing is scheduled for Wednesday (June 3) at 7:45 a.m., and no bond has been set for him, according to jail records.
