Find 24 Hour Booking in Stone County

Stone County 24 hour booking records track each arrest logged at the county jail in Mountain View. The Stone County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and keeps the booking sheet for every person brought in. This page covers the main ways to find 24 hour booking records in Stone County. You can use the phone, a FOIA request, or statewide court tools. Each path gets you to the same core facts about an arrest.

Stone County Sheriff and Booking Records

The Stone County Sheriff's Office is at 1009 Sheriff Drive in Mountain View, AR 72560. The main phone is (870) 269-3825. The fax is (870) 269-3501. Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The sheriff holds the keys to the county jail and keeps every 24 hour booking record. When a person is brought in, jail staff enters the name, the date of birth, the arresting agency, and the charge. That first set of data forms the booking sheet.

A phone call is the best way to check on a recent booking in Stone County. The front desk can confirm custody, read the charge, and give the bond. They can also tell you the next court date if one has been set. Staff cannot share juvenile records over the phone. Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309 closes those files to the public.

The sheriff is the FOIA custodian for jail records in Stone County. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105, the office has three business days to answer a citizen ask. Copy fees top out at 25 cents per page. The sheriff cannot charge you for staff time to pull the file.

Search Stone County 24 Hour Booking

Stone County does not run a live jail roster online. That is common for smaller Arkansas counties. Two statewide tools can help fill that gap.

The first is VINELink. It sends a free alert when a person is booked, moved, or let go. You sign up with a name and a contact email. VINE checks the jail feed and lets you know when the status shifts. The second tool is Arkansas CourtConnect. It lists court cases filed after a 24 hour booking.

Here is the CourtConnect main page.

CourtConnect shows the case style, the filing date, the charge, the judge, and the next court date. Stone County cases flow through the Sixteenth Judicial District Circuit Court. The site updates the next business day in most cases. Mug shots and bond amounts do not show on CourtConnect. For those, go back to the sheriff.

Request 24 Hour Booking Records in Stone County

Arkansas FOIA is the law that opens booking records to the public. It is at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 and the sections that follow. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-103 defines public records broadly. A booking sheet, mug shot, and charge list all fit the definition. The Arkansas FOIA Handbook walks through the rules and is a good plain English guide.

To file a request with Stone County, put these items in a short letter:

• Your full name as an Arkansas citizen
• The full name of the person booked
• The date of birth if you know it
• The approximate date of the booking
• The records you want (booking sheet, mug shot, charge list, bond sheet)

Send the letter to the sheriff at 1009 Sheriff Drive, Mountain View, AR 72560. You can also fax to (870) 269-3501 or walk the letter in during office hours. The office has three business days to answer under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105. If the request is denied, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-107 lets you go to circuit court.

The Attorney General FOIA page has sample letters. The state FOIA hotline is (501) 682-2007.

Mountain View Police and Other Agencies

Mountain View is the county seat and the largest city in Stone County. The Mountain View Police Department is at (870) 269-3001. MVPD makes many of the arrests in the county. Those arrests still flow to the Stone County jail for the 24 hour booking. MVPD keeps its own arrest reports. Ask the department for those under the same FOIA rules.

Arkansas State Police Troop C covers Stone County as part of its patrol region. State police stops that lead to a jail trip land at the Stone County jail for the initial booking. Stone County also has some federal land near the Ozark National Forest. Federal arrests on those lands can end in a short term hold at a county jail before the person is moved to a federal marshal facility.

Mountain View sits at the heart of a busy music and craft trade. The town draws heavy tourist traffic each year. The police force logs traffic stops, public intox arrests, and other small offenses that end up on the Stone County 24 hour booking roster.

What a Stone County Booking Record Shows

A Stone County 24 hour booking sheet holds the core data for each person taken into custody. Expect the full name, the date of birth, the sex, the race, the height, and the weight. The sheet lists the arresting agency, the charges with Arkansas Code cites, the bond type, and the bond amount. Most records include a mug shot. Some files include an address of record and a next of kin contact.

Bond types in Arkansas include cash, surety, property, and own recognizance. A judge sets bond in most felony cases. Lower level cases rely on a fixed bond schedule. Most people post bond within a day. A hold on the file means another agency wants the person after release. That could be a federal hold, a state parole hold, or a warrant from another county.

You can also pull case detail on CourtConnect once the prosecutor files the charge. Stone County felony cases run through the Sixteenth Judicial District Circuit Court. The Stone County District Court hears misdemeanor cases. The Arkansas CourtConnect site feeds data from both courts.
