Fayetteville Busted Mugshots Search

Fayetteville Busted Mugshots come from arrests made by the Fayetteville Police Department and other agencies that work in the city. Fayetteville is the county seat of Washington County and home to the University of Arkansas. City police book people for a short hold and then move most arrests to the Washington County Detention Center. Use the search tool below to find a Fayetteville arrest record, or read on for direct links to the warrant search, the county jail roster, and court case data on CourtConnect.

Fayetteville Police Department

The Fayetteville Police Department sits at 100 W. Rock St., Fayetteville, AR 72701. The main line is (479) 587-3555. FPD is the primary law enforcement agency for the city. It is split into Patrol, Criminal Investigations, and Special Operations. The department works with the University of Arkansas Police for campus cases and with the Washington County Sheriff for cases that cross city lines.

A look at the Fayetteville Police warrant search tool shows how the city posts active warrants online.

The page lets you search by name, charge, warrant number, and date. It is the fastest way to check if a person has an open Fayetteville warrant.

FPD officers make the arrest and write the first report. The report goes to the Records Division for filing. If you want a Fayetteville arrest record, the Records Division is the place to ask. You can call ahead or show up at the front desk. Bring photo ID and the name and date of the arrest if you know it.

Fayetteville feeds arrest data into ACIC for state and federal sharing. That means a booking at city police moves into the statewide criminal history system once prints are taken. For state-level checks that go past the local stage, the Arkansas State Police background check tool is the main option. Local police and court records remain the best source for one specific Fayetteville arrest.

Washington County Holds Fayetteville Mugshots

Most Fayetteville bookings go to the Washington County Detention Center after the short hold at the city. That makes the Washington County Sheriff's Office the main source for Fayetteville Busted Mugshots once a person is past intake. The sheriff runs the online detainee roster that lets you look up any person now at the jail.

A quick look at the Washington County Sheriff's Office site gives the core links for the roster and records requests.

The roster shows Name, Age, Race, Sex, Prior Bookings, Intake Date, and Bond for each person in custody.

Search by name to find a match fast. If the person is no longer in the jail, the roster will not list them. For older Fayetteville bookings, you need to ask the Records Division at FPD or pull case data from CourtConnect. The Sheriff also keeps criminal history reports on file and can provide arrest data tied to a case the county has handled.

Fayetteville District Court Records

Fayetteville District Court handles misdemeanor cases, traffic violations, and city ordinance cases that start with a city arrest. Felony arrests move up to the Washington County Circuit Court. Both courts are part of the statewide CourtConnect system, so one name search can show cases from both levels.

To pull a case tied to a Fayetteville arrest, run a name search on caseinfo.arcourts.gov. Records on the portal go back to January 1, 2009 for most case types.

CourtConnect shows charges, court dates, filings, and case disposition for Fayetteville cases.

For certified copies, go to the clerk of the court where the case was filed. District Court cases are at the District Court clerk. Felony cases are at the Washington County Circuit Clerk. Call ahead to check fees and hours. CourtConnect does not have booking photos. To tie a mugshot to a case, use the same name and arrest date on both the Washington County detainee roster and CourtConnect.

Fayetteville FOIA and Public Records

The Arkansas FOIA at Arkansas Code § 25-19-101 and the rest of the chapter covers both FPD and the Washington County Sheriff. Anyone can ask for an arrest record. You do not need to give a reason. Agencies have three business days under Arkansas Code § 25-19-105 to respond.

To make a Fayetteville Police request, go through the Records Division. For the sheriff, use the records request form on the Washington County site. In both cases, give the name, the date of the arrest if you know it, and the type of record you want.

Fees are low. Plain paper copies run $0.25 to $0.50 per page. Certified copies cost $5.00 per document. Email copies may be free or very cheap based on the agency. The custodian must note the rule that applies if a record is off limits.

Juvenile records under Arkansas Code § 9-27-309 are sealed. Open probe records can be held back. Data that would put a victim at risk can be held back. For anything else, the record is public. Booking photos taken at the city or county jail are public records under the FOIA.

State Tools for Fayetteville Arrest Data

Once a Fayetteville case moves to state prison, the file shifts to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. The Arkansas DOC Inmate Search covers all state inmates by name, ADC number, race, age, and more. Each entry has a photo, a facility, a sentence, and parole eligibility.

You can also track a person's status on VINELink. The free site sends alerts on release, transfer, or escape. Many victims and witnesses sign up, but anyone can use it for a Fayetteville inmate.

The Arkansas Crime Information Center keeps the statewide sex offender tool at the ACIC site. For a Fayetteville case, the site can show if a person is listed and the reason. The University of Arkansas Police also posts alerts and log data that may overlap with city police cases. Check both when you search for a campus-related Fayetteville arrest.

What Fayetteville Arrest Records Contain

A full Fayetteville booking record has a set list of fields. The mugshot is at the top. Next comes the name, aliases, and ID data. Charges and statute numbers follow. Arrest date and time, arresting agency, and officer info round out the core block. Bond data, hold agency, and court date sit at the bottom.

Records kept by FPD and the Washington County Sheriff typically include:

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

Some info is held back under state and federal law. Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and account numbers are redacted from public copies. Juvenile arrest data is sealed. Data tied to an open case may be held back until the case closes. The custodian must note the rule if a record is off limits.
