The office sits at 685 North County Road 599 in Luxora. That is a rural spot in the middle of the county, between Blytheville and Osceola. The sheriff works with Blytheville Police, Osceola Police, and state troopers on cases that feed the county detention center.

Mississippi County 72 Hour Booking FOIA Rules

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act gives any citizen of the state the right to ask for a Mississippi County 72 hour booking record. The main rule is at Arkansas Code § 25-19-105. Key terms are at § 25-19-103.

The Arkansas Supreme Court set a strong pro-access rule in Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff. The 1991 case held that daily arrest logs and jail shift sheets are open records. Mississippi County runs under this rule.

Some data stays back under § 12-12-1003, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and medical notes. § 25-19-107 sets the appeal path if the reply is blocked or stalls.
