View Monroe County Arrest Records

Monroe County arrest records sit with the sheriff's office at the county jail in Clarendon and with the Circuit Clerk. The sheriff posts the current jail roster on InteropWeb and a backup PDF roster through the county website. You can see names, arrest dates, charges with statute citations, bond amounts, and court assignments. This page shows where to search Monroe County arrest records, how to request a certified copy, and how the Arkansas FOIA and ARCH statewide system apply to bookings logged in Clarendon and the rest of the county.

Monroe County Sheriff and Jail Roster

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office runs the jail in Clarendon. The public inmate roster is on InteropWeb at interopweb.com/monroeso. The roster shows each detainee with name, status such as CURRENTLY BOOKED, sex, height, weight, address (sometimes marked REDACTED for privacy), arrest date with the arresting agency, days in jail, and total bond.

Each row on the InteropWeb roster opens into a detail page that lists charges with statute citations, warrant numbers, court assignments, and felony or misdemeanor classification. Bond amounts can show as a dollar figure, "NOT SET," or "DENIED" in cases where the court has not yet set a bond or has declined one.

Monroe County PDF Jail Roster Backup

In addition to the InteropWeb portal, the county publishes a PDF roster at monroecounty.gov/files/inmate/roster.pdf. The PDF is useful when the InteropWeb tool is slow or offline. It shows the same core data points, just in a simpler list format.

PDF rosters are common in smaller Arkansas counties. They are easy to print and easy to share by email. They don't allow a search by name, so you may have to skim the full file. For a quick name-only hit, the InteropWeb portal is the better tool.

For a deep or certified copy of a Monroe County arrest record, a written FOIA request to the sheriff is the right path. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. gives the sheriff three business days to respond.

FOIA Process for Monroe County Arrest Records

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq., opens most public records to Arkansas citizens. Arrest reports, booking sheets, and jail rosters are generally open. Ongoing investigations, juvenile records, and sealed arrest files are exempt.

Send a FOIA request to the Monroe County Sheriff for arrest reports. Send court-level requests to the Circuit Clerk. Keep the ask simple: name the person, the rough date, and the record type. The agency has three business days to respond. Fees must match real copy costs, usually 25 to 50 cents per page.

Sealing rules live at Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401 et seq., the Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013. A sealed record does not show in ARCH. Juvenile sealing runs under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Sex offender rules are in Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-903. The state map lives at ark.org/offender-search.

The Arkansas Attorney General at 323 Center Street, Little Rock, 501-682-2007, publishes the FOIA Handbook and binding opinions. You can see and challenge your own ACIC record at no cost under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1013.
