Governor Asa Hutchinson announced recently his intent to grant 14 pardons, including a Marion County woman. Melissa Dell Rogers of Peel is included on the list.
Rogers was convicted in Marion County in 1995 of five felony counts of delivery of marijuana; two felony counts of theft of property; and one felony count each of residential burglary, breaking or entering, and theft by receiving.
The applicants intended for pardons have completed all jail time, fulfilled all parole and probationary requirements and paid all fines related to their sentences. There is a 30-day waiting period to receive public feedback on the notices before final action is taken.
This notice is issued based on the date of conviction, the fact that all terms of the applicant’s sentence have been completed and there have been no further criminal violations. There are no law enforcement objections to the application.
