Marion County Arrest Records Lookup

Marion County arrest records sit with the sheriff at the county jail in Yellville and with the Circuit Clerk. You can pull up the current jail roster, arrest dates, charges, and court dates through the sheriff's online portal. For a broader search, the state ARCH system at arch.ark.org runs a name-based criminal history check that covers Marion County and the other 74 counties. This page sets out where to search Marion County arrest records, how to ask for copies, what the sheriff logs at intake, and the Arkansas statutes that decide what is public.

Marion County Sheriff and Arrest Records

The Marion County Sheriff's Office sits at 221 Randolph Rd, Yellville, AR 72687. The main phone line is (870) 449-4236 and runs 24 hours a day. Fax is (870) 449-4869. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Mail goes to P.O. Box 366, Yellville. Deputies cover Yellville, Flippin, Bull Shoals, Summit, and the rural parts of the county.

Arrest work follows a familiar pattern. Deputies make the stop or serve the warrant. The person is taken to the county jail. Intake includes fingerprints, a mugshot, a health screening, and an inventory of personal property. A booking record is then keyed into the sheriff's system. That record is what ends up in the public jail roster and on the FOIA-eligible reports you can ask for later.

The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association at arkansassheriffsassociation.com holds a simple listing for Marion County with phone and address. It is helpful when a more modern sheriff portal is offline.

Marion County Jail Roster

The sheriff's public roster lives at marioncountysheriffar.com/roster.php. The roster shows current inmates in booking date descending order. Each row lists name, age, city of residence, charges, court dates, and the arrest date.

Marion County Courts and Case Records

Marion County is in the 14th Judicial Circuit. Circuit Court hears felonies and large civil cases. District Court in Yellville handles misdemeanors, traffic tickets, and first appearances for new bookings. The Circuit Clerk keeps case files, the warrant list, and judgments.

Court data is public on CourtConnect. You can search by name, case type, case number, or citation. The service is free. Not every smaller county pushes full data, so double-check with the Circuit Clerk for recent filings. The Administrative Office of the Courts at arcourts.gov runs the portal. Their office is at 625 Marshall Street, Little Rock, AR 72201, phone 501-682-9400.

What Marion County Arrest Records Show

A Marion County arrest record pulled from the sheriff's roster shows the person's name and age, city of residence, charges filed, and court dates set by the district or circuit judge. The arrest date shows when the intake happened. Bond amounts, if set, appear on the same row.

Deeper records from a FOIA request add the mugshot, the arresting officer name, the statute citation for each charge, the booking number, and property logs. Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1001 et seq. requires fingerprinting for listed offenses so that ACIC can tie repeat arrests to the same person across counties.

Final dispositions show up in court records, not in the jail roster. A person found not guilty, for example, would still appear in CourtConnect with a disposition entry. That is why both sources matter. The sheriff's roster is about who is in the jail right now. The court file is about what happened to the case.
