SPRINGDALE, Ark. (KFSM) — 36-year-old Jackson Abed Rodriguez-Robles of Springdale was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday (Oct. 9) for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to court records, in 2001, Rodriguez-Robles was convicted of a felony in Puerto Rico.

In February 2019, officers responded to a crime in progress at Rodriguez-Robles’ apartment in Springdale.  He fled out of the back of the apartment when officers entered the apartment and was apprehended shortly afterward.
