Find Arrest Records in Greene County

Greene County arrest records are held by the Greene County Sheriff's Department on North Rocking Chair Road in Paragould and the Greene County Detention Center next door. You can search jail bookings, warrants, court dates, and sealed record status through a mix of local portals and statewide tools like ARCH and CourtConnect. Paragould is the county seat and the main center of law enforcement activity. This page covers every way to look up Greene County arrest records, what each record contains, and how to file a FOIA request when you need a paper copy.

Greene County Sheriff's Department

The Greene County Sheriff's Department sits at 1809 N Rocking Chair Road, Paragould, AR 72450. Phone is (870) 236-7612. Deputies book suspects into the detention center at the same address, take the mugshot, log the charges, and set the bond. The sheriff keeps the arrest report, warrant data, and the booking file. For a current inmate list, the best starting point is the county roster feed, which is also mirrored on third-party sites.

A Greene County arrest record typically contains the date, time, and location of arrest, the arrestee's personal information, the mugshot and fingerprints, a short description of the alleged offense, the charges filed, the classification (felony, misdemeanor, or infraction), and the court hearing date and location. That lines up with what most Arkansas counties post.

Some data is held back. Undisclosed investigations, documents restricted by court order, undercover officer identities, personnel files, personal details of minors, and medical, adoption, and education records are all exempt from public release.

Greene County Arrest Records Online

Arkansas Court Records hosts a Greene County arrest page at /greene/arrest-records. The page mirrors booking and docket data pulled from court and sheriff feeds. A screenshot of the page is below.

A second online option is the Arkansas Jail Roster entry at /jails/greene-county. It lists current inmates with booking dates, charges, and bond info.

Third-party sites pull public records the sheriff already posts. They are not the official source. For a certified copy or a file that is missing online, file a FOIA request at the sheriff's department in Paragould or walk in during business hours.

State Tools for Greene County Arrest Records

ARCH is the main public check. Created by Act 1185 of 2015 at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501 et seq. Cost is $24 per run. Fingerprint-based results. Launch at arch.ark.org. ARCH returns Arkansas felony and misdemeanor convictions, open felony arrests less than three years old, and sex offender status for levels 1 through 4.

ARCH does not return juvenile records, sealed or pardoned records, dismissed charges, active warrants, out-of-state data, or traffic arrests. Need a legal first and last name, sex, and date of birth. Results are non-refundable. For entities with a signed release from the subject, the Online Criminal Background Check is the right tool. Pricing is $22 Arkansas name-based or $11 for volunteers.

CourtConnect at caseinfo.arcourts.gov covers criminal, civil, domestic, probate, and traffic case types across Arkansas courts. Search is free. You can find cases by party name, judgment, or citation number. Help email is acap.help@arcourts.gov. The Administrative Office of the Courts is at 625 Marshall Street, Little Rock, AR 72201, 501-682-9400.

When a Greene County defendant is sentenced to state prison, use the ADC Inmate Search. Search by ADC number, name, gender, age, race, county, facility, or offense. Arkansas Department of Correction is at 6814 Princeton Pike, Pine Bluff, AR 71602-9411.

Greene County Sex Offender Registry

The Arkansas Sex Offender Registry is run by ACIC and is separate from general arrest history. Search by address, city, county, ZIP, or name. The map shows level 3 and level 4 offenders near a Paragould, Marmaduke, or Delaplaine address. Levels 1 and 2 are not mapped. Around 1,624 level 1 and 2 offenders sit in the state system but not on the public map.

Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-903, Arkansas uses four risk levels. Level 1 is the lowest. Level 4 is described as a sexually violent predator. Level 4 offenders re-register every three months. Levels 1 through 3 re-register every six months.

FOIA Access for Greene County Arrest Records

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq., is the bedrock access law. It says public records shall be open to inspection and copying by any Arkansas citizen during business hours. Agencies have three business days to respond. Fees cannot be more than actual reproduction cost.

Greene County access methods include:

• In-person requests at the Sheriff's Department at 1809 N Rocking Chair Road, Paragould
• Arkansas Criminal History (ARCH) System via ACIC for a statewide check
• ACIC Sex Offender Registry for registered offenders
• FOIA requests under Arkansas Code § 25-19-105 for arrest reports

Sealed records are not released. See Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401. Juvenile records are closed under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309 unless the juvenile is charged as an adult. The Arkansas Attorney General's FOIA Handbook and opinions sit at arkansasag.gov. The AG office is at 323 Center Street, Little Rock, 501-682-2007.

Criminal history reporting standards live at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1001 et seq. That chapter makes ACIC the central repository and requires fingerprinting at arrest for specified offenses. Disposition reporting is required of every agency.

Sealing a Greene County Arrest Record

Arkansas uses "seal" where many states use "expunge." The Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013 is the framework at Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401. You file a petition in the court where the case was heard. For Greene County that is the Circuit Court in Paragould or the District Court. Once sealed, ARCH and CBC will not return the record. The record stays with law enforcement for limited uses.

Ineligible offenses include serious violent felonies, sex offenses that require registration, public sexual indecency, indecent exposure, and exposing another person to HIV. Juvenile sealing uses Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Standardized forms are at the Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1013, anyone can see and challenge their own ACIC record at no cost.
