The following Clark County inmates have a parole- or transfer-eligible date in March 2025, although there are several factors that could affect any individual release for months or years.

Brandon Charles, 37, is serving a 5-year stint at the Varner Unit for a May 2024 conviction in Miller County for fleeing in a vehicle causing physical injury. Charles has served probation in Clark County for a 2011 charge of theft of leased property.

Timothy Davis, 34, is serving 8 years at the Wrightsville Women’s Facility for a March 2023 conviction of trafficking a controlled substance.

Jessica Giles, 39, is serving 18 months at the McPherson Unit in Newport for a December 2024 conviction of possession of a controlled substance (meth/cocaine) weighing between 2-10 grams.

Brian R. Green, 41, is serving a 32-year sentence at the Ester Unit for a January 2012 conviction of aggravated residential burglary, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping. Green was one of three men who, in the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 2011, forced entry into an Okolona woman’s residence, bound her with duct tape, struck her in the head with an aluminum baseball bat and put a gun to her temple as they demanded she reveal the location of her safe. The victim also reported that, after pulling the trigger without firing the weapon, the masked men covered her body with clothing and held a flame to her leg, further demanding that she tell them the safe’s whereabouts lest they burn her and her home. Green, along with Tyrone Marks and Oscar Willingham, were later arrested in a traffic stop in Gurdon. Evidence collected at the scene was a CD with a handwritten name that matched another CD found in the vehicle. Police also located the masks in a roadside ditch between the scene of the crime and where they were apprehended. Willingham will be eligible for parole in July 2028, and Marks will be eligible in March 2030.

Brady A. Hogg, 31, is serving 6 years with Benton Work Release for a November 2023 conviction in Garland County of first-degree battery. The sentence also includes a pair of convictions in Clark County for drug possession, and a Grant County conviction of residential burglary.

Brightson Hughes, 41, is serving a 10-year sentence at the Tucker Re-entry Center for a September 2023 conviction of delivery of a controlled substance (meth/cocaine) less than 2 grams, and illegal use of a communication device.

Tony R. Standridge Jr., 22, is serving 8 years at the Ester Unit for 2024 convictions in Garland and Pike counties for breaking or entering, theft, and commercial burglary. Standridge had served probation in Clark County in 2021 for a theft by receiving conviction.
