The 2026 oval in Clarksville, Arkansas — not Clarksville, Tennessee, not Mountain City
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Johnson County, Arkansas.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is on the 2026 ballot. Arkansas county sheriffs sit on the gubernatorial table.

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Eleven Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Tennessee rumor does not hire this badge. Clarksville, Tennessee, is another state. Mountain City is Johnson County, Tennessee. Arkadelphia is Clark County. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work sits at 215 West Main — not Porter Industrial as this clerk
County Clerk work for Johnson County, Arkansas, lists at 215 West Main Street, Clarksville. Circuit Clerk lists separately on the same campus. That is county clerk work — not Clarksville City Hall as this clerk, not a Tennessee clerk as this clerk, not an Arkadelphia clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Johnson County, Arkansas — not Johnson County, Tennessee
Do not take names from a Clarksville, Tennessee, rumor, a Mountain City flyer, or a Lamar municipal card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Johnson County, Arkansas, Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Johnson County, Arkansas, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. Unopposed county nominees sometimes do not reprint on the November card — confirm the Clerk, do not invent a missing race.
What you are hiring — river-valley remainder patrol and a 96-bed house this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Johnson County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Lamar remainder, Coal Hill remainder, Hartman remainder, Knoxville remainder, Ozone remainder, and the I-40 frontage; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 215 West Main; and the jail at 301 Porter Industrial. You are not hiring Clarksville Police. You are not hiring a Tennessee Sheriff. You are not hiring Johnson County, Tennessee. You are not hiring Clark County. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 301 Porter Industrial as this jailer, Clarksville, Arkansas, as the seat, Clarksville, Tennessee, as not this hall, and University of the Ozarks as not this badge.
Remedy when a writ misses Lamar
A bad service or a paper that missed Coal Hill remainder or Ozone remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Eleven Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Clarksville, Tennessee. Not Mountain City as this oval.
Relief when I-40 ices or a Piney Creek road floods
High water toward the Arkansas River or the Pineys, a wreck on I-40, ice toward Ozone remainder, a night road outside Coal Hill — this county’s mutual aid first. Pope is a different count. Franklin is a different count. Logan is a different count. Clarksville city hall is a different government. Clarksville, Tennessee, is a different state.
Service — papers, a West Main docket, a night shift toward Coal Hill
Papers. A Clarksville, Arkansas, courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated river-valley road remains this badge. 301 Porter Industrial remains this badge. A Tennessee rumor does not.
Due process does not wait for a Tennessee rumor
A levy in unincorporated Johnson County, Arkansas, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Clarksville, Tennessee, or because a visitor photographed Mountain City.
Rights from Ozone remainder to the Pope line
Equal protection on the river-valley map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker on Porter Industrial and a family in Clarksville, Arkansas, hire the same Sheriff.
