Jason Lynn Deloach Jr., 28, is serving 8 years at Northwest Arkansas work release in Springdale for a conviction of a 2019 charge of aggravated robbery. Deloach was a student at Henderson State University at the time he robbed West Pine Exxon at gunpoint on April 27, 2019, demanding the clerk hand over the cash drawer.

Katelynn Nicole Dickerson, 35, is serving 7 years at Little River County work release on a conviction of a 2023 charge of theft of property. Dickerson used her authority as store manager of Little Mo’s Liquor, in Gurdon, to adjust daily deposits and inventory to rake in more than $75,000 over the course of 22 months. The charge caused a revocation of Dickerson’s probation stemming from charges of forgery and property theft earlier that same year.

Tristen M. Seal, 23, is serving 6 years at Benton work release on a conviction of three charges of drug possession with purpose to deliver in Chicot County, as well as theft and burglary charges in Clark County in 2022.

The pair were hospitalized later that day after a car crash in Lake Village; police there located a duffle bag containing drugs and the Arkadelphia victims’ belongings.
