Bond and Release After Siloam Springs Booking

Bond for a Siloam Springs arrest is set under the Benton County bond schedule for minor charges or by a judge at first appearance. Most first hearings take place within 24 to 48 hours. The judge reads the charge, sets bond, and may appoint counsel. The bond sheet is part of the open booking record.

Bond types are cash, surety, property, and own recognizance. Surety is the most common type. A bail bond agent takes a fee, usually 10 percent, and posts the full bond with the jail. An OR bond is a free release on a promise to appear in court. Cash and property bonds lock up money or real estate as security.

What a Siloam Springs 24 Hour Booking Shows

A booking record tied to a Siloam Springs arrest holds the same core fields as any Benton County booking. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 defines a public record to cover writings, data, photos, and sound files held by a public agency. The booking sheet is a public record from the moment it is logged.

• Full name and date of birth
• Booking number and booking date and time
• Sex, race, height, and weight
• Arresting agency: Siloam Springs Police Department
• Charges with Arkansas Code cites
• Bond type and amount
• Court date if set
• Mugshot

The medical screen, mental health notes, and social security numbers are closed. Active investigation files may be withheld while a case is live, per Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(b). The basic booking facts stay open even during an open case. The state FOIA Handbook puts it plain: once a booking occurs, the basic booking information is public.

If the sheriff or the city police say no, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-107 lets you sue in circuit court to force access. The case moves on a fast track. If you win, the court can award fees. Arkansas judges tend to side with access when the agency cannot point to a clear exemption in the law.
