Jackson said Dallas County District Court Judge Bob Armstrong recused himself from the case and Cleckler’s arraignment will be set at a future date. She remains locked in the Dallas County Jail under no bond.

Cleckler has a history of arrests in Dallas County dating back to 2012. The recent arrest came on March 10, as Cleckler was charged with two counts of failure to appear drug possession.
