There is one fewer Clark County inmate in the state prison system compared to October numbers. The inmates are distributed among several institutions across the state.
The total includes 296 men and 21 women. There are 159 black inmates, 153 white inmates and five of other races.
The following Clark County inmates have a parole- or transfer-eligible date this month, although there are several factors that could affect any individual release for months or years.
Marc Anthony Abraham, 41, is serving a 10-year sentence and is currently on Benton work release for convictions in four counties. In March 2020 Abraham, using a brick, broke the front door of AllCare Pharmacy on West Pine Street, Arkadelphia, to steal several bottles of prescription cough syrup. Similar burglaries in Beebe and Morrilton, where police matched his DNA from blood found at the scene of a burglary, connected Abraham to the local incident, as did video surveillance captured at three nearby Arkadelphia businesses. Abraham has felony convictions in Pulaski, Conway and Independence counties.
Demarkus J. Christopher, 33, is serving a 20-year sentence — his fifth incarceration — at the Varner Unit in Gould. Christopher was convicted of a July 2010 robbery in Gurdon in which he and five other men ambushed and robbed a snack vendor at gunpoint at Doug’s Grocery. That October, while incarcerated at the Clark County Detention Center on the robbery charge, Christopher attacked a jailer during an altercation with another inmate, an act for which he was also charged. Christopher has also served prison time for sexual assault, a case that dates to 2007 in Ouachita County. He becomes eligible for parole or transfer on Dec. 27.
