Opinion Delivered October 22, 2025 MICAH JACKSON APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE CRAWFORD COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT V. [NO. 17CR-21-74]

STATE OF ARKANSAS HONORABLE CANDICE A. APPELLEE SETTLE, JUDGE

AFFIRMED

N. MARK KLAPPENBACH, Chief Judge

Micah Jackson appeals the order of the Crawford County Circuit Court revoking his

suspended imposition of sentence (SIS). We affirm.

In December 2023, Jackson pleaded guilty to internet stalking of a child. Imposition

of sentence was suspended for a period of eight years, and Jackson was ordered to register

as a sex offender. In May 2024, the State filed a petition to revoke, alleging that Jackson had

committed the new offense of failure to comply with sex-offender registration and reporting

requirements. The petition also sought to revoke Jackson’s SIS in a separate case, case

number 17CR-22-581, in which he was given an eight-year SIS for the offense of failure to

appear. Following an October 2024 revocation hearing, the circuit court revoked Jackson’s SIS in both cases.1 Upon revoking his SIS for internet stalking of a child, the court sentenced

Jackson to fifteen years’ imprisonment and five years’ SIS.

On appeal, Jackson has filed briefs with identical arguments in the companion

appeals. Because the evidence and arguments are the same in both cases, we affirm the

revocation for the reasons stated in Jackson v. State, 2025 Ark. App. 481 (CR-25-34).

Affirmed.

HARRISON and BROWN, JJ., agree.

K. “Presley” Hager Turner, for appellant.

Tim Griffin, Att’y Gen., by: Jacob Jones, Ass’t Att’y Gen., for appellee.

1 The appeal of Jackson’s revocation in the failure-to-appear case is submitted as a companion appeal, CR-25-34, and decided this date.
