The Texarkana Police Department on the Texas side has reported the arrest of 36-year-old Kevin Cordarl Christopher on the night of October 16, 2023. Christopher had been wanted for multiple felony crimes in Texarkana, Arkansas, including kidnapping. The arrest was made possible after an alert citizen recognized Christopher and promptly called 911.
Upon sighting the police, Christopher attempted to flee, but his escape was short-lived.
Kevin Cordarl Christopher has since been booked into the Bi-State Jail, and authorities anticipate his extradition back to Arkansas in the coming days.
This arrest follows a recent plea for assistance made by the Texarkana Police Department on October 4, where they sought information about the whereabouts of Chelsey Naron. The young woman had been missing since October 1 and was last seen speaking with an unknown man, according to her mother.
Naron had been experiencing car trouble, and the unidentified man had offered to help her. After assisting her, he requested a ride, and Naron was last seen leaving the apartment complex in her car with this individual.
Fortunately, Chelsey Naron was located safely on October 6, and further investigation led to the identification of Kevin Cordarl Christopher as the suspect in the case.
