What's in a Pike County Arrest Record

A Pike County arrest record typically holds the booking number, the booked date, the subject's name, date of birth, sex, race, and a charge list. Mug shots are part of the file on most bookings. The sheriff's portal posts name, booked date, and basic demographics by default. The paper booking sheet holds more detail, including bond amounts and the arresting officer.

Charges show with the Arkansas code citation and class. Class Y is the top felony tier. Class A is the top misdemeanor. The Pike County Sheriff's Office backs up its roster with a written file for each booking. That file can be pulled under FOIA once the person is no longer part of an active investigation.

Sealing Pike County Arrest Records

Arkansas uses "seal" where many states say "expunge." The framework is the Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013, Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401 et seq. You file a petition in the court where the case was heard. For a Pike County case, that is Circuit Court in Murfreesboro. Most misdemeanors and many felonies can be sealed after the sentence is done.

A sealed record is pulled from public view. ARCH won't return it. CourtConnect won't return it. Law enforcement keeps a limited copy for narrow uses. Not every offense is eligible. Registered sex offenses, public sexual indecency, and exposing another to HIV are on the not-eligible list. Forms are posted through the Administrative Office of the Courts.
