LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Gov. Mike Beebe has announced his intent to grant pardons to 10 convicts.

The governor’s office said Tuesday that each of the 10 have completed all jail time, fulfilled all parole-and-probationary requirements and paid all fines related to their sentences.

The 10 are Jimmy Blackwood Sr. of Camden; Brian Earls of Benton; Roderick Hyre Jr. of Oak Grove, Mo.; Tyrel Kempson of Shirley; Johnny Kesterson of Dierks; Tony Moses of Van Buren; Jarrod Petrus of Hazen; Robert Richards of Lewisville; Jordan Riddle of Conway; and Adam L. Willfond of Atkins.



There is a 30-day waiting period for public comment on the pardons before final action is taken.
