A Salem man is in custody after allegedly assaulting a woman with a high-risk pregnancy during a domestic disturbance. David Christopher Sisk, 24, was arrested by the Salem Police Department and is being held in the Fulton County Jail on a charge of third-degree domestic battery, a felony.
According to a probable cause affidavit, police responded to a reported domestic incident at a residence in Salem. The victim, who is 23 weeks pregnant, told officers she had confronted Sisk after discovering he was intoxicated and passed out on the couch while home alone with her children. The woman said she began recording Sisk on her phone during the confrontation, which led to an argument. She alleged that Sisk took her phone and threw her to the floor.
The victim indicated that her pregnancy is considered high-risk due to a condition known as placental abruption, which she stated Sisk was aware of.
Following his arrest, Sisk’s bond was set at $30,000.
Court records show that Sisk has a history of previous felony arrests in Arkansas. In March of this year, Sisk was charged in Fulton County with fourth-degree sexual assault in connection with an incident in 2025 that involved a victim under the age of 16. That case is still pending in the courts.
Additionally, he was arrested in November 2025 after allegedly breaking into a home in Clarkridge following a Halloween party in Mountain Home. Police reports from that incident state that a woman, who was home alone, retreated upstairs and called authorities after finding Sisk asleep on her couch. When officers arrived, Sisk reportedly explained that he was intoxicated, unaware of his location, and thought he was in Salem. He was charged with residential burglary, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct. As part of a plea agreement, the burglary charge was reduced to breaking or entering, and Sisk pled guilty to all charges, receiving a four-year probation sentence.
