Access Logan County 24 Hour Booking

Logan County 24 hour booking records list the people booked into the county jail in the last day. The county has two district seats, Paris and Booneville, and the Logan County Sheriff runs the main jail in Paris. City police in Paris and Booneville also make arrests, but bookings run through the county jail. This page covers how to find Logan County 24 hour booking records, what they hold, and where to search online for related court data.

Logan County Sheriff and Booking Records

The Logan County Sheriff's Office sits at 508 W Grober Street in Paris, AR 72855. The main phone is (479) 963-3271. The fax line is (479) 963-2117. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The jail runs all hours.

Logan County is one of a handful of Arkansas counties with two district seats. The county has a north district in Paris and a south district in Booneville. The main jail and the sheriff's main office are in Paris. The Booneville courthouse handles court matters for the south side. Booking records for the whole county are kept by the sheriff in Paris.

Under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103, a booking sheet is a public record. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105, a citizen has the right to ask for it. Most of the time a call to the sheriff's desk will get you the answer on the spot. If you need a paper copy, the fee is 25 cents a page.

Paris and Booneville Police

Two city police agencies work in Logan County. Each one books through the county jail.

The Paris Police Department sits in the county seat of the north district. The main line is (479) 963-2511. Paris is the busier of the two towns and Paris PD makes a share of the county's arrests. When a Paris officer books a person, the jail in Paris is the point of in-take. The city department keeps its own arrest report. The booking record is held by the sheriff.

The Booneville Police Department is in the south district seat. The main line is (479) 675-3846. Booneville sits in a separate part of the county and has a smaller force. Booneville PD arrests go to the Logan County jail in Paris for booking. The south district courthouse in Booneville handles some court matters, but the booking log itself is kept by the sheriff.

Some Logan County arrests are made by the Arkansas State Police on the state highways that run through the county. Those arrests also end up at the Paris jail for booking. A call to the sheriff can clear up which agency made the arrest.

Inmate Roster and 24 Hour Booking

Logan County does not run a full live roster online at this time. For current custody status, a call to the jail is the fastest path. The jail line at (479) 963-3271 is staffed all hours. The clerk can confirm a name, a charge, or a bond.

For court data, the state tool is the best next step. Here is the Arkansas CourtConnect search page.

The Arkansas CourtConnect tool is free. It shows cases from counties on the live feed. You can search by name or case number.

VINELink is the go to online custody tool. VINELink tracks a person across most Arkansas jails and state prison. It sends free alerts on release or move.

Request 24 Hour Booking Records

Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 is the rule. A citizen asks for a public record. The custodian has three business days to reply. Fees are 25 cents per page for paper. Staff time is not billable.

The Arkansas FOIA Handbook puts the process in simple terms. A verbal or written request works. No form is needed. Give the custodian enough detail to find the file.

Basic facts to include:

• Full name of the person booked
• Date of the booking (or a close range)
• Date of birth if known
• Booking number if you have it
• What you want (booking sheet, mugshot, bond sheet, charge list)

If the sheriff denies the request, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-107 lets you sue in circuit court. The Attorney General's FOIA page runs a hotline at (501) 682-2007 for help or sample letters.

Court Records After Booking

Once a person is booked in Logan County, the charge moves to court. Felony cases go to circuit court. Misdemeanor cases go to district court. The Circuit Clerk holds the full file for every felony. The District Court Clerk holds the misdemeanor file. Both clerks are open during normal business hours.

Logan County sits in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. The circuit covers Logan, Conway, Scott, and Yell counties. The circuit judges hold court in Paris and Booneville depending on the district. Court files are public under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 with the same limits as booking records.

Juvenile records are closed. Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309 sets that rule. A juvenile booking sheet will not appear on a public roster. Adults keep their booking records open even while the case is live. The basic facts, the name, the charge, the bond, and the booking date, stay public under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105(b).

Bond in Logan County is set by a judge at the first appearance. The first appearance is held within 72 hours of the booking under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-85-502.
