Crittenden County Sheriff Warrant Records

The Crittenden County Sheriff's Office sits at 350 Afco Road in West Memphis. The sheriff serves warrants signed by the Circuit Court and the District Courts across the county. The main public tool on the site is the online jail roster, which covers current holds at the Detention Center. When the sheriff serves a warrant, the subject usually shows up on the roster within hours of booking.

The page above is the front of the Crittenden County Sheriff site. The jail roster link and the detention center contact info sit a click away from the main menu.

Call the sheriff at (870) 702-2010. Hours run 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. For warrant checks that do not show on the roster, ask the front desk. Staff can confirm a live warrant and read back the case number, the charge, and the bond amount from the office log. Bring a photo ID when you visit.

The online jail roster at crittcoso.com/detention-center/online-jail-roster/ lets a visitor search by name, date of birth, address, case number, or charge. Each record shows the booking date and the hold basis. The same portal handles visitation info, bonding info, and commissary deposits for current inmates.

Warrant release follows Arkansas Code § 12-12-1008. Staff may ask for a driver license or other state-issued ID before they confirm an active warrant against a name. The rule applies across Arkansas and is not local to Crittenden County.

Crittenden County Circuit Clerk

The Crittenden County Circuit Clerk is at 100 Court Street in Marion. Phone: (870) 739-4434. The clerk keeps the court file for every warrant issued in the 2nd Judicial Circuit. When a judge signs a warrant, the clerk logs it and holds the original order. The clerk also tracks the warrant return when the sheriff serves it. Hours run 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.

Plain copies cost $0.25 per page. Certified copies cost $5.00 each. Public access terminals at the courthouse let a visitor run a name search on the spot. A written FOIA request can ask for the full case file, the warrant, and any docket entries. The clerk serves as the official keeper of record for civil, criminal, and domestic files.

Note: Crittenden County is one of the counties where the state case search shows only partial information, so a direct call to the clerk is often needed for a full file view.

The CourtConnect public query runs on the same data. It is a good fallback when the main case search is slow. Administrative Order 19 sets the redaction rules for pre-2009 records across the state.

Types of Crittenden County Warrants

Crittenden County warrants break into a few clear groups. The sheriff and the clerk handle all of them. The jail roster covers served warrants. The court file covers the full life of each one.

• Arrest warrants on felony charges
• Misdemeanor arrest warrants
• Bench warrants for failure to appear
• Search warrants tied to investigations
• Child support warrants under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239
• Capias warrants after an indictment

Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 7.2 sets out what each warrant must contain. The full legal name of the subject, the offense, the statutory cite, the issuing court, the case number, the bond amount when one is set, and the signing judge all appear on the face. Crittenden County warrants follow that format. Bench warrants on failure-to-appear cases make up the largest share of the active list.

Crittenden County FOIA and Fees

Warrants are public under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, codified at Arkansas Code § 25-19-101. The law covers writings, recordings, and data held by a public agency. Sealed juvenile files, open investigation notes, and grand jury data stay off the public list. The Arkansas Attorney General runs a FOIA hotline at 1-800-482-8982 for help when an office does not respond on time.

The first hour of search time is free under the state rule. After that an agency may charge the hourly rate of the lowest-paid staff member able to do the search. Plain copies cost $0.25 per page at the clerk. Certified copies cost $5.00. A short letter or email with the name, a date range, and the type of record works as a FOIA request.

The Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau runs the state-level criminal history check. A mail-in check costs $25. A volunteer check for a non-profit runs $11. That pull can include warrant data. The subject of the record must sign a written consent for the online version. The fingerprint rule lives at Arkansas Code § 12-12-211.

Note: Open investigation files and active warrant affidavits tied to an ongoing case may be withheld until the case closes.

West Memphis and Marion Police

Crittenden County does not have a city over the 100,000 population threshold. West Memphis is the largest city in the county. Marion is the county seat. Each has a municipal police department and its own district court. City-issued warrants for traffic and minor misdemeanors stay local. Felony warrants move up to the Circuit Court in Marion.

When you are not sure which office holds a warrant, call the sheriff. The sheriff will say if the file sits with them, with West Memphis Police, with Marion Police, or with the clerk. That one call saves a lot of back and forth. The West Memphis Police Department also posts a local most wanted list on its own site.
