What a Bradley County Arrest Record Shows

A typical Bradley County arrest record holds the arrest date and time, the arresting agency, the charges, a mugshot, the booking number, the bond amount, and the release date if the person is out. The jail also tracks gender, race, age, and the arresting officer. Charges carry statute citations so you can look up the actual law at arkansascode.com. Classes show up as misdemeanor, felony, or a specific custody tier.

Some data is held back. Active investigation files, documents restricted by court order, personnel records, undercover officer identities, and personal details of minors are exempt. Active warrants are often pulled from public view to avoid tipping off a wanted subject, though some counties do post warrant lists.

For the full arrest report, file a FOIA request under Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 with the Bradley County Sheriff's Office. Provide the subject's name, date of birth, and booking date if known. The office must respond within three business days.
