Grant County Arrest Records Lookup

Grant County arrest records are kept by the Grant County Sheriff's Office in Sheridan and are posted through the 365Labs community portal for real-time inmate lookups. The Circuit Clerk handles court case files once charges get filed. This page shows every place to search Grant County arrest records, how to read the jail roster, and what ARCH, CourtConnect, and VINE add to the mix. Sheridan is the county seat. The 365Labs portal lets you pull booking numbers, charges, mugshots, and offense dates without logging in or paying a fee.

Grant County Sheriff and Jail Roster

The Grant County Sheriff's Office in Sheridan is the first stop for arrest records. Deputies book suspects into the county jail, take the mugshot, log the charges, and set the bond. The sheriff keeps the arrest report and the booking file. For a current inmate list, the office uses the 365Labs Community Portal at community.365labs.com.

The roster shows Booking Number, Booking Date, Description, Document Type, Race, Bookings, Offense Date, and Case Records for each person in custody. Mugshots appear when available. Search filters let you narrow by name or by booking date. It is a real-time view, so a release or a new booking shows up quickly.

A screenshot of the 365Labs inmate list for Grant County Jail is below.

For a file that is not on the roster, or for a paper copy of an arrest report, file a FOIA request at the sheriff's office. The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association page at arkansassheriffsassociation.com links to contact info if the main sheriff page is down.

Grant County Arrest Records in Court Databases

Once an arrest leads to a charge, the case file moves to the Grant County Circuit Clerk and lands in the state case data feed. Arkansas Prisons keeps a summary page for the jail at /grant-county-jail. Arkansas Public Index covers Circuit Court case data at arkansas.thepublicindex.org/grant-county.

The statewide CourtConnect tool at caseinfo.arcourts.gov covers criminal, civil, domestic, probate, and traffic case types. Search is free. You can find cases by party name, business name, case type, judgment, or citation number. Not every rural county is fully online, so some Grant County files may still need a trip to the clerk.

State Tools for Grant County Arrest Records

ARCH is the main statewide check. It was created by Act 1185 of 2015, at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501 et seq. Cost is $24 per run. Results are tied to fingerprints. ARCH returns Arkansas felony and misdemeanor convictions, open felony arrests less than three years old, and sex offender status for levels 1 through 4. Launch a search at arch.ark.org.

ARCH does not return sealed records, pardoned convictions, juvenile files, dismissed charges, active warrants, or out-of-state history. You need the subject's legal first and last name, sex, and date of birth. Results are non-refundable. Common name searches may return several hits, so race or ZIP helps narrow.

The Online Criminal Background Check system is different. CBC is for entities with a signed, notarized release from the subject. Pricing runs $22 per Arkansas name-based check or $11 for volunteers. National FBI fingerprint checks are $13, or $11 for volunteers. Mail-in requests are $25 each.

The Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau at 1 State Police Plaza Dr., Little Rock, AR 72209 handles manual requests. Phone is 501-618-8500. Hours run 7:30 AM to 5 PM. Form ASP-122 is used for a mailed request and must be notarized. The fee is $25 with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

Grant County Sex Offender Registry

The Arkansas Sex Offender Registry is run by ACIC. Search by address, city, county, ZIP, or name. The map shows level 3 and level 4 offenders near a Sheridan, Grapevine, or Leola address. Level 1 and level 2 offenders are not mapped. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-903, Arkansas uses four risk levels. Level 4 offenders re-register every three months. Levels 1 through 3 re-register every six months.

Grant County Inmate Search After Sentencing

When a Grant County defendant is sent to state prison, the Arkansas Department of Corrections runs the search tool. The ADC Inmate Search covers state-run prisons and most county jails statewide. You can search by ADC number, name, gender, age, race, county, facility, or offense category.

ADC records may show name, race, date of birth, date of incarceration, a summary of offenses, and the current facility. Some records include mugshots and known aliases. Contact: 6814 Princeton Pike, Pine Bluff, AR 71602-9411. Questions go to adc.inmate.info@arkansas.gov. Data can change by the hour. A release or transfer will not always show the same minute.

Grant County FOIA Rules for Arrest Records

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. is the access law. Arrest reports, jail rosters, booking photos, and warrant data are generally open. Ongoing investigation files are not. Sealed records are not. Juvenile records are blocked by Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309.

For Grant County, address a FOIA request to the Sheriff's Office in Sheridan. Agencies have three business days to respond. Fees cannot be more than actual reproduction cost. Requesters must be Arkansas citizens and cannot be incarcerated felons. The Arkansas Attorney General publishes the FOIA Handbook and guidance at arkansasag.gov. AG Opinions 2003-057 and 2003-183 cover sealed record access.

Criminal history reporting standards are in Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1001 et seq. That chapter makes ACIC the central repository. It also sets fingerprinting rules at arrest and disposition reporting rules for every criminal justice agency.

Sealing a Grant County Arrest Record

Arkansas uses the word "seal" for what many states call "expungement." The Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013 lives at Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401 et seq. You file a petition in the court where the case was heard. For Grant County that's the Circuit Court in Sheridan or the local District Court. Once sealed, ARCH and CBC will not return the record.

Ineligible offenses include serious violent felonies, sex offenses that require registration, public sexual indecency, indecent exposure, and exposing another person to HIV. Misdemeanors and many felony convictions can be sealed after you finish the sentence and wait the required time. Juvenile sealing uses its own statute at Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Forms are posted by the Administrative Office of the Courts.

Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1013, any person can see and challenge their own ACIC record at no cost. Requests go to the Administrator of the ACIC Criminal History Division or the desk at 501-682-2222.
