WARREN, Ark. – On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, a Bradley County jury found Tilton Hill, 50, of Warren, guilty of two counts of Rape, Kidnapping, and Aggravated Burglary following an investigation led by Arkansas State Police (ASP) Special Agents.

Following the verdict, the jury sentenced Hill to four life sentences, plus 60 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The sentences will run consecutively.

The case began on September 10, 2025, when the Warren Police Department (WPD) received a 911 call from a Pine Street resident on behalf of the 20-year-old victim, who was pregnant. The victim reported that a man, later identified as Hill, broke into her home before beating and raping her. WPD asked ASP’s Criminal Investigation Division to investigate.

Hill, already in custody at the Dallas County Detention Center on unrelated charges, was arrested and charged by ASP Special Agents on September 12, 2025.

“This verdict shows our Special Agents’ dedication to justice and protecting Arkansas communities,” said Colonel Mike Hagar. “We thank the investigators, the Arkansas State Crime Lab, prosecutors, and the Bradley County jury for making sure justice is served and that there is accountability for a heinous crime.”
