AR law disallows you "force" the tenant out using measures like changing the lock, terminating the utilities, etc. but if you serve an eviction notice and they fail to comply with the eviction there is a specific methodology and process (this part requires a lawyer) that will ultimately end in the Sheriff forcibly ejecting them from the property.
