STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLANT APPEAL FROM THE GARLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT [NOS. 26CR-16-291, 26CR-16-293] HONORABLE MARCIA R. APPELLEE HEARNSBERGER, JUDGE SUPPLEMENTAL ADDENDUM ORDERED WAYMOND M. BROWN, Judge A Garland County jury found appellant Lonnie Davidson guilty of commercial burglary and theft of property, valued at more than $1000 but less than $5000, in case 26CR-16-291 and sentenced him to an aggregate term of five years’ imprisonment to run concurrent to the sentence he received in case 26CR-16-293.
