Adrian Lamont London, once a promising basketball player and a familiar face at Pulaski County schools, was arrested on November 5, 2025, at age 31, for theft and robbery in Pulaski County, Arkansas.
Authorities report that London faces charges for theft of property obtained by threat of serious physical injury, robbery, and possession of instruments of crime.
This marks at least his second arrest in 2025. Earlier, on August 14, he was booked in the same county for criminal trespass, public intoxication, and failure to appear on a misdemeanor warrant.
The recent charges stem from more serious criminal allegations, signaling a troubling escalation.
Former Friends Are Shocked By London’s Condition
Friends from his past remember him as a different person than the one facing legal trouble today. Naomi Young, a former schoolmate, wrote after his November arrest:
“Adrian!!! Poonie!!! I remember when I first saw him, it broke my heart. But I treat him like anybody else. I said ‘Adrian,’ he said ‘yeeea.’ I still see the young sweet boy in him… His smile is still the same. Just a different story. Breaks my heart every time I see him. But I’m always grateful he’s alive. I just pray people see him the way God sees him!”
Other friends echoed similar sentiments, sending messages of support and hope. Mark Keys reacted, “My boy used to be the freshest dude my freshman year! I always got this brotha in my prayers. He is all of us.”
While Talonds Sarsfield also shared a photo of herself with London and a friend, reflecting the good old times they had in High School.
Yarodd Swipee added, “Shit hurt For Real!! Pray he finds guidance and another chance at a better life fr,” while Johnny Testt said, “Nah for real can’t do nothing but keep em in prayer for real. Hope my guy shakes back — it’s always possible.”
London’s current booking details confirm he is a 31-year-old Black/African American male. His recent charges, under Arkansas law codes 5-36-103(b)(1)(B) for theft and 5-12-102 for robbery, are considered serious offenses and carry significant legal consequences.
Once remembered for his skill on the basketball court and warmth among friends, along with a bright smile and kindness, Adrian Lamont London’s path now reflects a cautionary tale of early promise overshadowed by legal troubles.
Pulaski County Community members are hoping for guidance, second chances, and that he finds a way to redirect his life, despite facing multiple charges.
