Stone County Arrest Records

Stone County arrest records are kept by the sheriff in Mountain View and by the local city police forces. The sheriff's site posts an inmate roster, a most wanted list, and contact info for records requests. Statewide tools like CourtConnect, ARCH, and the ADC inmate search cover the rest of the case path. This page shows where to find a Stone County arrest record, what the sheriff's roster holds, and how to file a FOIA request when you need the full report. Most of the data is free.

Stone County Sheriff Arrest Records

The Stone County Sheriff's Office is the top source for local arrest records. The office is based in Mountain View. Deputies run patrol, serve warrants, and book new arrests at the Stone County Jail. The sheriff's site posts an inmate roster, a most wanted page, and contact info for records staff. For a fast check, go to stonecountysheriff.com.

A screenshot of the sheriff's site is below. The home page holds links to the inmate roster, news, most wanted, and community programs. The roster lists names, booking dates, charges, and bond. Staff updates the roster when a new person comes through the booking window.

The Arkansas Sheriff's Association page at arkansassheriffsassociation.com is a backup lookup. It lists bookings, mugshots, who is in jail, race, detainer info, booking date, bond, booking time, and release date. The two pages cover the same data. The sheriff's site holds the primary record.

Stone County Jail and Booking Data

The Stone County Jail is a small rural facility in Mountain View. It books new arrests, holds pretrial inmates, and houses sentenced misdemeanants. Long-term inmates move up to state prison once the court hands down a sentence. The jail staff runs the booking desk, takes fingerprints, and fills out the intake sheet.

Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1001 et seq., the sheriff must print every arrestee on listed offenses. Those prints feed ACIC, the state data system tied to the FBI's NCIC. ACIC sits at 322 S. Main Street, Suite 615, Little Rock. Call 501-682-2222 to ask for the right-to-challenge process under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1013. Most ACIC data is restricted to criminal justice users.

Booking data held by the jail typically covers the arrest date and time, arresting agency, charges, mugshot, bond, and release date. The roster is updated through the day as the jail processes new people. For a same-day confirm, call the sheriff's office. For a family visit or bond, the jail office can walk through the rules.

Stone County Arrest Records on CourtConnect

Once prosecutors file charges, the case moves into the Arkansas court system. The Administrative Office of the Courts runs CourtConnect as the public case lookup. Search by name, business, case type, case number, or citation. There is no fee.

Stone County is part of the 16th Judicial Circuit. The circuit clerk files felony cases in Mountain View. District court takes misdemeanors and first appearances. CourtConnect shows the arraignment date, plea, and final disposition. It doesn't show the arrest itself. For that, go to the sheriff's roster. For help with the CourtConnect tool, email acap.help@arcourts.gov or call the AOC at 501-682-9400.

Scheduled maintenance hits weeknights 12:30 AM to 2 AM and Saturday 10 PM to Sunday noon. A sister site called eTraffic lets the public pay tickets online in courts that use the Contexte system.

Stone County Statewide Arrest Records Check

ARCH is the public path for a full statewide check. It was built by Act 1185 of 2015, at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501 et seq. ARCH pulls from ACIC and ties results to fingerprints. A search runs $24.00. Pay by debit or credit. Launch it at arch.ark.org.

You need the person's first and last name, sex, and date of birth. Results come back in three forms. Subject with a record. Subject with no record. Or no subject found. ARCH covers Arkansas felony and misdemeanor convictions, open felony arrests less than three years old, and sex offender status for levels 1 through 4. Anyone has the right to challenge their own record under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1013.

ARCH leaves out juvenile records, dismissed charges, not-guilty findings, active warrants, sealed records, pardoned convictions, out-of-state history, federal history, and traffic citations. Certified copies for immigration or adoption need form ASP-122 mailed to the Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau at 1 State Police Plaza Dr., Little Rock. The mail fee is $25.

Stone County FOIA and Record Sealing

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. is the rule for public records access. The sheriff has three business days to respond to a written FOIA request. Copy fees can't top actual cost. Arrest reports, booking sheets, jail rosters, and warrant lists are generally open. Open investigation files, juvenile records, and sealed convictions are not.

The Attorney General at arkansasag.gov publishes the FOIA Handbook and opinions on sealed record access, including opinions 2003-057 and 2003-183. The AG's office is at 323 Center Street, Little Rock. Phone: 501-682-2007. Arkansas Attorney General opinions help with tough FOIA calls.

Sealing is the Arkansas word for expungement. The Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act of 2013, at Ark. Code Ann. § 16-90-1401 et seq., lets you petition the circuit court to seal an arrest or conviction. Misdemeanors and many felonies can be sealed after the sentence ends and the wait time runs. Juvenile sealing runs on Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Forms are on the AOC site at arcourts.gov.
