Former Arkansas State Representative Austin McCollum to Appear in Court on Felony Charges

Former Arkansas State Representative Austin McCollum is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, September 8, to face charges of domestic battery, false imprisonment, and aggravated assault on a family or household member. These charges stem from an alleged incident on August 1, where he is accused of assaulting his then-wife and confining her in their home. McCollum was released on August 2 after posting a $10,000 bond. Initially, the domestic battery charge was a misdemeanor, but it has since been upgraded to a felony, aligning with the other two felony charges. Following his arrest, McCollum resigned from the Arkansas House of Representatives on August 5, citing a need to "focus on my family" in a letter to Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. His wife filed for divorce on August 7, one day after securing an order of protection.

The brothers were initially sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole in 1996 for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. In May 2025, their sentence was modified to 50 years to life, allowing them to seek par...
