According to Mr. Boyce, when Raymond Chapman was confronted by the Hoxie Police Chief he admitted to the abuse and was arrested and taken to the Lawrence County Jail.

Chapman will remain in the custody of Sheriff Yates until he is transferred to the Arkansas Department of Corrections to serve his 60 year sentence.
