James Meryl Clark

     The Sheriff’s Office is notifying the public that a Level 3 Sex Offender moved and is now residing at a different address in Baxter County.  Risk Level 3 means there is a high risk that this person will re-offend.

NAME:                       JAMES MERYL CLARK 

DATE OF BIRTH:   01/23/1949

OLD ADDRESS:      516 Havner Road

                                    Norfork, Arkansas 72658

NEW ADDRESS:      3077 Jordan Road
                                    Norfork, Arkansas 72658

     The offender was convicted of Sexual Assault in the First Degree, Sexual Assault in the Second Degree, and Incest on 07/12/2004.  Documentation indicates these offenses involved the offender engaging in sexual contact with a 12 year old female.

     This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time.  This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public.  This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders.  Citizen abuse will not be tolerated.  Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to do community notification.
