Centerton 72 Hour Booking FOIA Requests

The Arkansas FOIA lets any citizen ask for a Centerton 72 hour booking record. The core law is § 25-19-105. Booking sheets, jail logs, and arrest reports are open to the public under Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff, a 1991 Arkansas Supreme Court ruling that set the rule in favor of public access.

Send your FOIA to CPD Records for city-level data, or to the Benton County Sheriff's Records Division for jail-level data. Name the booked person, the date of arrest, and the records you want. The custodian has three business days to reply. Fees are the true cost of copy work.

Juvenile bookings are sealed in full and not subject to release. If a reply runs late or the records are denied with no good cause, the Attorney General can review. A civil action under § 25-19-107 can also force release and award fees to the winning side. The state law sets clear lines for what is open and what is not.

Centerton 72 Hour Booking Records Retention

The Centerton police and the Benton County sheriff hold Centerton 72 hour booking files for set periods under Arkansas records rules. The intake log, charge sheet, and bond paper stay on the active roster while the booked person is in custody. After release or transfer, the data moves to archive storage. Jail management systems keep a digital copy that the records clerk can pull on request. Arkansas does not set a single fixed retention window for all booking data, so the period tracks the local policy.

For older Centerton bookings that are off the live roster, the sheriff's records division is the right path. Ask for an archive search by name and approximate date. The CourtConnect portal also shows the court file tied to the booking, which gives a second trace for older cases. Docket entries, charges, and case outcomes stay on the court side even after the jail side clears the record from the active roster.
