Arrest Records in Cleburne County
Cleburne County arrest records are created in layers. A deputy, Heber Springs officer, Greers Ferry officer, Quitman police or marshal, Arkansas State Police trooper, constable, or outside agency may make the arrest. If the person is booked locally, the Cleburne County Detention Center creates a jail record. If charges are filed, district or circuit court creates a separate court case.
The sheriff's public records channel is centered at 914 South 9th Street in Heber Springs. The same office group supports the inmate roster, detention questions, report forms, accident-report routing, press releases, and public notices. Use the jail roster for custody status, not as a complete criminal-history record.
The Cleburne County inmate roster disclaimer gives the public entry points for Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release.
The disclaimer is important because the sheriff does not certify the web roster as an authenticated record.
Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release
The roster offers two practical arrest-search paths: current inmates and persons released in the last 48 hours. This is the fastest public route for recent custody in Cleburne County. It is also narrow. A person may be arrested and released outside that window, held in another county, or not yet tied to a public court filing.
| Roster Channel | What It Shows | Use It For |
|---|---|---|
| Current Inmates | People currently listed in county custody. | Recent booking and custody confirmation. |
| 48 Hour Release | Recent release entries from the jail roster. | Short-term release checks after a local booking. |
| Jail Phone | Detention Center contact at 501-362-2596. | Custody questions when the web roster is unclear. |
Cleburne County Arrest Lookups
A complete Cleburne County arrest lookup should use every channel the research supports. Start with the source closest to the arrest, then move outward to the court and state systems. Do not treat a missing jail roster entry as proof that no arrest record exists.
- Check the sheriff roster for Current Inmates and 48 Hour Release.
- If the roster does not answer custody status, call the Detention Center at 501-362-2596.
- Review the sheriff press releases for major arrests, investigations, or jail notices.
- Search ARCourts later for filed criminal cases, since court records can lag behind booking.
- Request the incident or arrest report from the arresting agency, such as the sheriff, Heber Springs Police, Greers Ferry Police, Quitman police or marshal, or Arkansas State Police.
- Use Arkansas State Police or ACIC review paths for official repository products and accuracy issues.
The sheriff's Detention Center page gives the local jail address, custody notes, and visitation setup.
Those details help separate a jail custody question from a police report or court-file question.
Cleburne County Arrest Records Office
The sheriff does not publish a separate page titled Records Division, so the records channel is a bundle of office contact, online forms, jail roster, CrashDocs routing, and press releases. The main office is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The public numbers are Main Office 501-362-8143, Dispatch 501-362-8291, and Detention Center 501-362-2596.

Arrest Records: What They Contain
An arrest record can be thinner or broader depending on the source. A jail roster entry is not the same as the police incident report. A court docket may later use different charge language after the prosecutor reviews the arrest report.
| Arrest Details | Date, time, place, arresting agency, and alleged offense when public. |
|---|---|
| Incident Report | Agency narrative, involved persons, property, and witness or victim data subject to redaction. |
| Booking Data | Name fields, age, sex, race, height, weight, booking date, and custody or release status. |
| Charge Information | Charge text at arrest, which may differ from prosecutor-filed charges. |
| Bond and Court | Bond or court details when available in the roster or court file. |
| Disposition | Final outcome only after a court case is filed and resolved. |
Incident Reports and 48-Hour Numbers
The sheriff's online Incident Report form is for submitting certain non-emergency reports, not for pulling every police report in the county. The form covers theft under $1,000, property damage or criminal mischief, fraud, scams, identity theft, harassment without immediate danger, and information reports. It warns about false reports and says a case number will be generated within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays.
The sheriff's forms menu lists report tools and related online forms.
The forms page is a routing point, while the report copy still depends on the agency and record type.
The online incident report form shows the required fields for non-emergency sheriff reports.
Its field set is useful for understanding what the sheriff needs before a report can be processed.
Recent Cleburne County Bookings
Recent arrest information appears through the roster, the 48-hour release list, and official sheriff press releases. The sheriff archive includes arrest and investigation posts, scam notices, jail updates, and public-safety announcements. Those posts give context for major public events, but they are not a substitute for the court case file.
The official Cleburne County sheriff press-release archive has category and year filters.
Use press releases for public context, then confirm case outcomes through court records.
Note: This page does not republish arrestee names, roster photos, or booking images; use official sources for current custody details.
Cleburne County Arresting Agencies
The arresting agency matters because it controls the original report. If Heber Springs Police wrote the incident report, the county clerk will not have the police narrative unless it is filed into a court case. If Arkansas State Police handled the matter, the state agency may be the report source.
| Agency | Records Channel | Arrest Search Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cleburne County Sheriff's Office | 914 South 9th Street; forms and main office | Roster, sheriff reports, crash-report routing, press releases. |
| Cleburne County Detention Center | 501-362-2596 | Booking and custody information. |
| Heber Springs Police Department | 1001 West Main Street; 501-362-3661 | City police reports; local arrests usually route to county jail if booked. |
| Greers Ferry Police Department | City or police contact; records form not located | Trace city report first, then jail and court channels. |
| Quitman Police or Marshal | City contact; 2024 audit names Police Chief/Marshal Charles Shaw | Use city hall or police channel plus Cleburne County court checks. |
| Arkansas State Police | DPS or ASP official channels | Trooper reports and state-level matters. |
CrashDocs and Accident Reports
Accident reports are their own record path. The sheriff's accident-report page asks whether the user needs a copy of an accident report and routes the request to CrashDocs. The sheriff page does not display the fee, processing time, or full required-field list, so those details should be verified through the linked request system or the sheriff's office.
The Cleburne County accident reports page is the official sheriff route for crash-report copies.
Crash reports can explain an arrest-related traffic event, but they are not a criminal court disposition.
Arrest Records vs Conviction Records
A Cleburne County booking entry does not prove guilt. The arrest charge can change after prosecutor review. A court case can be dismissed, nolle-prossed, acquitted, or never filed. State repository data can lag when fingerprints, charges, or dispositions are not reported at the same speed.
| Record Type | Created By | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest or incident report | Arresting agency | Alleged event and law-enforcement response. |
| Booking record | Cleburne County Detention Center | Jail intake, custody, release, and related charge text. |
| Court case | District or Circuit Court | Filed charges, hearings, disposition, judgment, and sentence. |
| Repository record | Arkansas State Police or ACIC systems | Official state criminal-history product under access and dissemination rules. |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt; confirm the filed case and final disposition before relying on an arrest record.
