Daniel Robinson
Daniel Robinson, 31, of Jonesboro, died in July 2024 after taking a pill he believed to be fentanyl while held at the Craighead County Detention Center in Arkansas.

The state crime lab autopsy and the sheriff's investigation were still pending at the time of reporting. Prosecutors later said he died from a lethal dose of fentanyl and pursued a federal indictment on the same count, with a federal trial set for July 2026, while a source close to the situation described multiple fights and pepper spray in a holding cell afterward.
