Request 24 Hour Booking Records

A FOIA request to the Marion County Sheriff is quick. You can call, email, or drop by. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook from the state Attorney General says a citizen needs only make a verbal or written request.

Give the custodian these basics:

• Full name of the person booked
• Date of birth if known
• 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. The fee is 25 cents per page for paper. Staff time is not billable. 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 quick help and sample letters.

The Circuit Clerk in Yellville holds the full file for each felony case. The files are public under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 with the standard FOIA limits.

Bond is set by a judge at the first appearance. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-85-502, that hearing is held within 72 hours of the booking. Cash, surety, property, and own recognizance bonds are all used. Most people post bond in the first day.
