This is a roundup of felony charges filed Aug. 1-14, 2026, by the Clark County Prosecutor’s Office. Some defendants may also have misdemeanor charges against them, but most are not included here. The following names and charges, which are contained within public documents, are gathered from online court records available through ARCourts. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Here’s a rundown of felony cases filed in the past two weeks:
Escaped prisoner pedaled away from Clark County Jail carrying duffle bags of dope, guns
New details have surfaced regarding a prisoner who walked away from the Clark County Detention Center earlier this year, spending two days on the lam and sparking a multi-agency manhunt.
Investigators with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office were vague in court documents regarding Bright’s escape on the afternoon of Easter Sunday, when he allegedly pedaled away on a bicycle carrying drugs and guns he allegedly stole from the department.
However, 9E Prosecutor Dan Turner provided details in a press release detailing Bright’s escape, noting that he allegedly broke into the offices of the Clark County Armory and removed a bicycle collected for charitable donations, and broke into a locked cabinet in a separate office to steal drugs and guns, which he packed into a duffle bag he found during the episode.
Bright, 31, has remained in custody since his April 7 arrest in a wooded area between Copeland Ridge Road and the Ouachita River. The prosecutor said that, after the arrest, police located the bicycle and duffle bag of drugs and firearms taken from the armory.
Bright had been incarcerated since a January incident in which he allegedly led Gurdon marshals and Clark County deputy sheriffs on a pursuit that ended in a cattle pasture off of Center Grove Church Road. He was arrested then for the flight, as well as damage caused to a police vehicle and the private property. Bright escaped the jail three weeks prior to a trial set in the fleeing case.
Bright now faces a slew of new charges, and prosecutors are seeking penalty enhancements on each charge given his status as a habitual offender. He’s charged with 2nd-degree Escape, a Class D felony punishable by a prison sentence of up to 12 years; Breaking or Entering, also a Class D felony; Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, also a Class D felony; Possession of Firearms by a Certain Person, a Class B felony punishable by 5-30 years in prison; Possession of Methamphetamine, also a Class B felony; Tampering with Physical Evidence, a Class D felony; and Commercial Burglary, a Class C felony that carries a potential prison sentence of 3-20 years in prison.
Bond on the new charges was set at $250,000 at a court appearance on Aug. 11. Arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 1 for the escape and related offenses. His original charges of fleeing, criminal mischief and aggravated assault have been rescheduled for pretrial hearing on Sept. 9, with trial scheduled the week of Sept. 21.
Woman posing as Spark driver faces fraud charge
A Detroit woman posing as a Spark delivery driver is in hot water for trying to defraud Walmart out of gaming consoles and accessories.
Jazmine Donique Wallace, 35, was arrested June 6 following a complaint from Walmart Supercenter in Arkadelphia about a Spark imposter who attempted to obtain more than $1,000 worth of electronics with a fraudulent receipt.
Store personnel said they recognized discrepancies with the receipt and halted the transaction prior to its completion, then phoned police. Though Wallace had left the store prior to police arrival, store personnel promptly located her in the plaza parking lot across the street, where she was taken into custody.
Wallace admitted to the fraudulent attempt in an interview with police.
Bond was set at $1,500 cash at a first court appearance on June 8.
She is charged with 2nd-degree Forgery, a Class C felony that carries a potential prison sentence of 3-10 years and/or fines totaling up to $10,000; and Criminal Impersonation, a misdemeanor punishable by jail time and additional fines.
Disturbance ends in scuffle with police
A woman who went toe-to-toe with Arkadelphia’s finest is facing felony charges.
On the evening of June 5, APD was called to a disturbance at a residence on South 25th Street Circle. Upon arrival officers made contact with two intoxicated females who had apparently been engaged in a brawl. An ambulance crew was called to the scene to treat one of the ladies who apparently suffered a hurt eye during in the fisticuffs.
Meanwhile, police attempted to speak with the other involved party, 46-year-old Fareaster Daryell Brim, but she was unable to provide a coherent explanation of the altercation.
The caller asked police to trespass the two females from the property. Relaying the request, Brim “became increasingly agitated and uncooperative” and physically intervened with officers as they attempted to handcuff the other female. Brim was then placed in handcuffs and escorted to a police vehicle, where she refused commands and kicked Officer Ryan Kluever in the head, causing injuries to his face, lip and forehead.
Bond was set at $65,000 during a first court appearance on June 8, although it was eliminated in lieu of house arrest and ankle monitor at the state’s expense.
Brim is charged with 2nd-degree Battery, a Class D felony that carries a prison sentence of up to 6 years and/or a fine of up to $10,000; and four misdemeanor charges including obstructing governmental operations and resisting arrest.

The meth weighed 9.7 grams.
Bond was set at $60,000 during a first court appearance on July 10.
Golden is charged with Simultaneous Possession of Drugs and Firearms, a Class Y felony punishable by 10-40 years or life in prison; Possession of Methamphetamine with Purpose to Deliver, a Class B felony punishable by 5-20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $15,000; and Possession of a Firearm by a Certain Person, a Class D felony punishable by up to 6 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $10,000.
