How to Request 24 Hour Booking Records

A FOIA request to the Lonoke County Sheriff is simple. You can call, email, or drop by. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook says a verbal or written request works. No form is needed.

Give the custodian these basics to find the file:

• Full name of the person booked
• Date of birth if you know it
• Date and time of the booking
• Booking number if you have it
• What records you want (booking sheet, mugshot, bond sheet, charge list)

Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105 gives the custodian three business days to reply. Fees are capped at 25 cents per page for paper. Staff time is not billable. If the total runs over $25, the sheriff may ask for a deposit. 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.

Bond and Release in Lonoke County

Bond in Lonoke County is set by a judge at the first appearance. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-85-502, that first appearance is held within 72 hours of the booking.

Most people post bond in the first day. Those who cannot post stay at the jail until the case is resolved. The booking record lists the bond type and amount from the start. If the bond changes, the jail file shows the update.
