State Tools for Lonoke County Recent Arrests

When the county site does not have the data you need, state tools help. The Arkansas DOC Inmate Search at apps.ark.org/inmate_info/index.php covers state prison custody.

The Arkansas DOC search shown above is the main free route for state custody. The site also links to a full database download for a small fee per record. Most users do not need that. The basic web search works for a one-time name lookup. Data updates daily from the DOC system.
