On Thursday, June 25, 2020 at 11:30am, Texarkana Arkansas Police were called to the 200 block of Jackson Street in response to Arkansas Probation and Parole requesting assistance in the arrest of Michael Wilkerson, 31 years of age, who had multiple violent felony warrants out of Texas and Arkansas.

TAPD SWAT arrived on scene and entered the residence, locating Wilkerson hiding in a bedroom. After he failed to comply with orders to surrender, SWAT deployed a shot from a JPX less lethal pepper-gun and Wilkerson was taken into custody. He was decontaminated immediately upon his arrival to the jail and suffered no injuries.
