A 31-year-old Clarksville man arrested last week remains behind jail on a $5,000 cash -only bond after authorities charged him with one count of Homicide - Manslaughter/Recklessly Causing Death stemming from an April 23 accident that took the life of his girlfriend, Makayla Prince.
In a story you might have first read about on April 14 on Today in Fort smith, a 2000 Chevrolet driven by Daniel L. Havens Jr. of Clarksville was found upside down beside the roadway along a stretch of State Highway 352 inside the Clarksville City limits the night of the accident. Prince was located deceased inside the vehicle.
According to the attached ASP report the vehicle ran off the roadway after failing to negotiate a left-hand curve and struck a metal sign and a concrete culvert before coming to rest.
The driver, later identified as Daniel Havens jr, 31, of Clarksville, at first told police officials no one else was in the car. It was later determined, after Havens was life-lighted to a Little Rock hospital with non life-threatening injuries, a blood test showed traces of ketamine and fentanyl in his system at the time of the accident.
After receiving the toxicology report a state warrant was issued for the arrest of Havens on August 1 and was taken into custody at 5:06 p.m. on the same day
Haven's Bond was set at $5,000 cash.
