Fayetteville 72 Hour Booking

Fayetteville 72 hour booking records start with the city police and end up at the county jail. The Fayetteville Police Department books all city arrests at its own intake desk on West Rock Street. Most bookings then move to the Washington County Detention Center for the longer stay. A Fayetteville 72 hour booking search runs through the FPD records office or the Washington County jail roster. Both sources show the booked name, charge list, bond, and a court date. Fayetteville is the third largest city in Arkansas. It is also home to the University of Arkansas, so a Fayetteville 72 hour booking lookup can pull both city and campus arrests.

Fayetteville Police 72 Hour Booking

The Fayetteville Police Department sits at 100 West Rock Street in downtown Fayetteville. FPD runs full 24 hour patrol, a records unit, and a city booking desk. When an FPD officer makes an arrest, intake staff log the charges, take prints, snap the mugshot, and start the 72 hour booking clock. Most bookings then move to the Washington County jail within a day. The records phone line for FPD is (479) 587-3555.

FPD has a busy intake load because Fayetteville covers the city core and the University of Arkansas area. The University Police Department shares info with FPD, so a campus arrest still flows into the same county booking system. Staff work in shifts so the booking desk never closes. Booking pages stay on the active roster for the first 72 hours and then move into longer-term jail records.

Here is the FPD home page. The page links to records requests, the crime stats tool, and the online report form for low level cases.

Which County Handles Fayetteville Arrests

All Fayetteville arrests move to Washington County for the longer-term booking stay. Fayetteville is the seat of Washington County. The Washington County Detention Center is the main jail in the county and holds bookings from FPD, the University of Arkansas Police, and the Washington County Sheriff. Most of the Fayetteville 72 hour booking traffic ends up there.

The Washington County Sheriff's Office runs the jail. The sheriff covers all of Washington County, not just Fayetteville. Springdale, Prairie Grove, Lincoln, and the smaller towns all use the same jail. So a Fayetteville 72 hour booking search may also turn up on the sheriff's roster, which is the common endpoint after FPD intake.

The live county inmate roster shows who is in the jail right now. The roster takes name and booking number searches. Bond, charges, and court date info load on the detail page for each booking. Mugshots are on most entries. The Fayetteville 72 hour booking page on the roster updates often, so a fresh check is wise.

Fayetteville 72 Hour Booking FOIA Request

The Arkansas FOIA lets any citizen of Arkansas ask for a Fayetteville booking record. The core law is at Arkansas Code § 25-19-105. Jail logs, arrest records, and shift sheets are all open to the public under Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff, a 1991 Arkansas Supreme Court case that set the rule in favor of public access.

Send your FOIA to the FPD Records Division for city-level data. Send it to the Washington County Sheriff 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 copying, which is a few cents per page.

If a reply is late or the records are held back without a valid reason, the Attorney General can review the denial. You can also file a civil action under § 25-19-107. A court can order the record released and award fees. Juvenile bookings are sealed and not subject to FOIA release.
