A Russellville teen was arrested over the weekend after being accused of forcing himself on a juvenile at her residence, officials said.
Druey Doyle Gandy, 18, 180 Aycock Loop, Russellville, was arrested for first-degree sexual abuse, Russellville Police Chief Chris Hargett said.
According to Hargett, officers received a call on Sunday afternoon that a sexual assault had taken place at a Russellville residence early Sunday morning.
