A Marion County woman who kept law enforcement at bay for nearly one hour by hiding in her residence has been arrested. Fifty-three-year-old Jana Brigman of Flippin is facing multiple felony drug and weapon charges.
Marion County Sheriff Clinton Evans says the 14th Judicial Drug Task Force received information March 2 that Brigman, a probation absconder, was living on Trailwood Terrace north of Flippin and was reportedly selling narcotics at the location.
When officers approached the fifth-wheel camper, they could hear someone running inside. No one answered the door, when officers knocked. A package located outside of the camper had one of Brigman’s aliases on the label.

A Marion County man, 43-year-old Nathan Siebrasse of Yellville, has been sentenced to 15 years in the Arkansas Department of Correction after pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
Online court documents indicate Siebrasse entered the plea last month in Marion County Circuit Court.
The sentence follows Siebrasse’s arrest on Christmas in 2018. At that time, Marion County Sheriff Clinton Evans said the arrest followed his department receiving a call concerning a physical domestic dispute at a residence in Yellville.
While deputies were investigating the domestic dispute, a juvenile female made officers aware of alleged sexual contact with Siebrasse. During the course of the investigation, officers were told Siebrasse had been having a sexual relationship with a then 15-year-old female since August of that year.
