Grant County 72 Hour Booking FOIA Requests

The Arkansas Supreme Court set the rule on jail records in Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff. The 1991 case stopped a city from hiding its daily arrest log. The rule now covers every sheriff and police unit in the state, Grant County included. A Sheridan resident can walk into the sheriff's office and ask for the day's booking list.

Ask for the intake sheet, the charge data, the bond info, and the mugshot. Sign the letter and give your contact info so the clerk can reach back.

If the sheriff does not reply in three days, or holds back a record without a valid cause, you can appeal. File a civil action in Circuit Court under § 25-19-107. The Attorney General also gives informal FOIA opinions, which can help settle a dispute without a lawsuit.
