Douglas Arthur Cloyes, 71, was shot and killed in the yard of his Barber Road home in Bald Knob, Arkansas, in May 2014. A retired remodeling contractor who enjoyed hunting and fishing, Cloyes was killed after a domestic dispute involving his daughter’s husband.

Draft then went to the Cloyes residence and fatally shot Douglas Cloyes. Draft fled Arkansas and was located and arrested in the Detroit, Michigan area on June 2, 2014; he was held in Michigan pending extradition.

After his return to Arkansas, Draft was charged with first-degree murder in Cloyes’s death and with felony domestic battery for the earlier assault on Kathie. Does anyone have additional information about the incident or knew Douglas or his family that could help clarify what happened?
