Cummins parolee Jad Perkins was arrested last Tuesday in Carroll County.

A parolee from Cummins State Prison, recently diagnosed with COVID-19, openly circulated for several weeks in Eureka Springs. He was arrested for defying a state self-quarantine directive and is back in Arkansas Department of Corrections custody. The Arkansas Department of Health says it's investigating disease spread in the county.
