Carroll County recent arrests are handled by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at 205 Hailey Road in Berryville. The sheriff runs the county detention center and books arrests made by the Berryville and Eureka Springs police. The jail does not host a public online inmate roster, so most lookups go through the sheriff by phone or through the state court system.

Carroll County Recent Arrests Overview
Carroll County Sheriff and Recent Arrests
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office sits at 205 Hailey Road in Berryville, AR 72616. The main phone is (870) 423-2901 and a second line is (870) 423-2297. The office fax is (870) 423-5898. Staff handle patrol, civil process, court security, and jail intake. The sheriff books recent arrests made by deputies in the unincorporated county and also takes in people booked by local police.
City police do the first stop and field work, but the sheriff jail is the main holding site for the county. The Berryville Police and Eureka Springs Police both use the county jail for booking. That means recent arrests in those towns show up in the same county files kept at 205 Hailey Road. For a name check, call the sheriff line first. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody.
The sheriff office also keeps all arrest logs, incident reports, and booking files for the county. These records are open to the public under Arkansas law. You can ask for copies in person or by mail. Photo ID is useful but not always required for basic log review. The office has three business days to respond once a written request comes in.
Carroll County Detention Center Roster
The Carroll County Detention Center shares the 205 Hailey Road address. Phone lines are (870) 423-2901 and (870) 423-2297. The jail holds males and females and takes in both pretrial and short-sentence cases. Booking includes a mugshot, fingerprints, and a records check. Bond amount and charges get set right after intake.
Carroll County does not run a public online inmate roster. To look up Carroll County recent arrests, call the detention center at (870) 423-2901.

Note: Carroll County jail phone staff only confirm current custody. Past bookings and case files move to the circuit clerk once the arrest moves through court.
Carroll County FOIA and Record Requests

Submit in person at 205 Hailey Road or by mail to the same address. You can also call (870) 423-2901 to ask about the process. A small per-page copy fee may apply.
A Carroll County arrest record will usually list the name, date of birth, arresting agency, charges, bond, and a booking photo. Under Arkansas Code § 16-81-106 an officer may arrest based on a warrant or on probable cause. That arrest ties back to a written report. Booking data feeds into the county file kept for at least five years under Arkansas Code § 13-4-404.
For court files after the arrest, use Arkansas CourtConnect. The state portal covers circuit courts and posts party names, charges, hearing dates, and case numbers. Carroll County cases are in the 19th West judicial circuit. You can filter results by county or party name. Document images are not always attached online. Some need a clerk office visit.
For a formal state criminal history check, use the Arkansas Online Criminal Background Check run by State Police. Fees for that search are set under Arkansas Code § 12-12-1009. The CBC gives a statewide summary, not just Carroll County results.
Carroll County Circuit Clerk and Court
The Carroll County Circuit Clerk is at 210 West Church Street in Berryville. Phone is (870) 423-2022 and the fax is (870) 423-7400. The email on file is carrollclerk@arkansasclerks.com. The clerk keeps circuit, district, and juvenile case files. Felony cases follow a Carroll County recent arrest and go through circuit court. Misdemeanors and traffic go through district court.
Some deed, lien, and court document search is open at arcountydata.com. That third-party portal lets you search by document type, description, or book and page. The clerk also sells certified copies of court documents for a set fee. Certified copies may be needed for name change filings or appeals.
Record sealing is set under Arkansas Code § 16-90-1401. Some non-violent misdemeanors can be sealed after a waiting period. A few non-violent felonies may also qualify. Violent and Class Y felonies do not qualify. The petition goes to the same court that heard the case. Once sealed, the record comes off public view but stays with law enforcement through ACIC.
