Bentonville Busted Mugshots

Bentonville Busted Mugshots come from arrests made by the Bentonville Police Department and other state agencies that work in the city. Bentonville is the county seat of Benton County and the home of Walmart. Most Bentonville arrests pass through city intake and then move to the Benton County Jail for booking and longer holds. Use the search tool below to look up a Bentonville arrest record, or read on for direct links to the police records unit, the Benton County inmate roster, and the state court system for Bentonville cases.

Bentonville Police Department

The Bentonville Police Department sits at 305 SW A Street, Bentonville, AR 72712. The main line is (479) 271-3170. BPD is the first agency on most calls in the city. It splits work across Patrol, Investigations, and Administration. The Records Division handles requests for arrest reports, incident reports, and crash reports tied to Bentonville cases.

A look at the Bentonville city website shows how the police page is set up.

The site links to police contact info, records forms, and city court pages for Bentonville.

BPD officers make the arrest and write up the first report. The report goes to Records for filing. If you want a Bentonville arrest record, start with the Records Division. Call ahead to check hours and fees. Bring photo ID when you show up in person. Most reports are released the same week under the Arkansas FOIA at § 25-19-101.

Bentonville has grown fast over the last decade. That growth means more calls, more arrests, and more booking records each year. BPD runs specialized units for drug cases, crimes against persons, and property theft. Each unit feeds data to the core record system. Once a Bentonville booking hits the state criminal history system, it also shows up in ACIC data.

Benton County Holds Bentonville Mugshots

Bentonville arrests move to the Benton County Jail after the short city hold. The Benton County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and posts the online inmate roster for the county. That roster is the main source for current Bentonville Busted Mugshots. The jail has a capacity of 669 beds and takes people from all of Benton County.

A view of the Benton County Sheriff's Office site.

The site has the inmate roster, a jail dashboard with live stats, and a records request page.

The inmate roster shows each person now held in the jail. Each entry has the mugshot, name, charge, arrest date, bond type, and bond amount. You can search by name to find a match fast. If the person has been released, the roster will not show them. For older Bentonville bookings, file a request with the sheriff's records unit or the Bentonville Police Records Division.

The interactive jail dashboard lets you track population totals, new bookings, and release counts. That is useful when you want to see trends, not just one name. Visitation at the jail is done by video, either onsite or from home. Calls to the jail go to (479) 271-1008 during work hours.

Bentonville Court Records Search

Bentonville cases are split between two courts. Misdemeanor charges, traffic cases, and city code cases go to the Bentonville District Court. Felony cases move up to the Benton County Circuit Court. Both courts post data on the statewide CourtConnect system, which means you can pull case details online.

To look up a case tied to a Bentonville arrest, run a name search on CourtConnect.

The site covers Bentonville District Court and the Benton County Circuit Court filings.

CourtConnect does not show booking photos. It does show charges, court dates, next hearing info, and the outcome of a case. To link a mugshot with a case, use the same name and arrest date on the jail roster and on CourtConnect. For certified copies of a file, go to the District Court clerk or the Circuit Clerk in person.

Felony files stay in the Circuit Clerk's office at the Benton County Courthouse. You can pull a copy for a small fee per page. Older cases may be in archive and take a few days to pull. Ask the clerk about pending hearings if the case is still open.

FOIA Access for Bentonville Arrests

The Arkansas FOIA at § 25-19-101 and § 25-19-105 gives anyone the right to ask for police records. Under § 25-19-105, agencies must reply within three business days. You do not need a reason. You do not need to be a state resident. The rule covers both BPD and the Benton County Sheriff.

To file a request with BPD, stop by the Records Division or send a written request to the police address on file. The Benton County Sheriff has its own FOIA form on the sheriff's site. Give the name, the arrest date if you know it, and the type of record you want. Short, clear requests get faster replies.

Fees for Bentonville records are low. Plain paper copies are $0.25 to $0.50 per page. Certified copies run about $5.00. Email copies may be free. The custodian must note the rule if a record is held back. Juvenile records under § 9-27-309 are sealed and not open to the public.

Booking photos taken at the Benton County Jail are public records. So are booking logs, arrest reports, and incident reports. Open case files may be held back until the case closes under § 25-19-105(b). Ask for a denial letter if a custodian says no. The letter must name the rule that applies.

State Tools for Bentonville Records

Once a Bentonville case moves to state prison, the record shifts to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The Arkansas DOC Inmate Search lets you look up any state inmate by name, ADC number, age, or race. Each entry has a photo, facility, sentence, and parole info.

You can also track a person on VINELink. The service sends free alerts on release, transfer, or escape. Victims and witnesses often sign up, but anyone can use it. Alerts go to email, phone, or text.

For a full state criminal history, the Arkansas State Police background check is the main tool. A name-based check runs $22.00. Written consent from the subject is needed for most uses. The report pulls data from ACIC under Arkansas Code § 12-12-1503 and related rules. For a Bentonville-only record, the city police or the Benton County Sheriff are the better source.

Sex offender data for the Bentonville area is on the ACIC Sex Offender Registry. That tool has public info on level 3 and 4 offenders under § 12-12-913. Search by city, ZIP code, or name.

What Bentonville Arrest Records Show

A full Bentonville booking record has a set list of fields. The mugshot sits at the top. Name, aliases, and ID data follow. Charges and statute citations are next. Arrest date, booking date, and the arresting officer come after that. Bond type, bond amount, and the hold agency sit at the end of most records.

Records kept by BPD and the Benton County Sheriff typically include:

• Front and side booking photos
• Full legal name, aliases, and date of birth
• Race, sex, height, weight, and other physical data
• Arrest date, booking date, and arresting officer
• Charges, statute citations, and case number
• Bond type, bond amount, and hold agency

Some fields are held back under state and federal rules. Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers are redacted on public copies. Juvenile arrest data is sealed under § 9-27-309. Data tied to an open probe can be held back. The custodian must state the rule if a record is off limits. Arkansas Code § 12-12-219 covers release of criminal history data by local agencies.
