Cross County Warrant Records Database

Cross County runs one of the better public warrant databases in east Arkansas. The Sheriff's Office in Wynne posts an active warrant list with full name, age, warrant date, and the charge. The list holds more than 400 active warrants at any given time. If you are looking for a Cross County warrant, the sheriff site is the first stop, followed by the Circuit Clerk for the underlying court file. This page walks through each tool, the phone lines, and the rules that shape warrant release in the 1st Judicial Circuit.

Cross County Sheriff Warrant Database

The Cross County Sheriff's Office sits at 705 East Union Avenue in Wynne. The sheriff runs the day-to-day service of warrants signed by the Circuit Court and the District Courts in the county. The public warrant database is the standout tool on the site. It lists hundreds of active warrants with a clean set of fields.

The screenshot above shows the Cross County Sheriff home page. The warrant search link sits a click away on the main menu. The inmate roster and the deadbeat parent search sit next to it.

The Cross County warrant search lets a visitor run a name query or sort by warrant date. Each record shows the full name, the age, the date the warrant was issued, and the charge. Typical entries include failure to pay fine, failure to appear, and misdemeanor arrest charges. Sample records as of early 2026 include MORRIS, JASHONE, age 19, failure to pay fine, and BAILEY, RICHARD, age 43, failure to appear.

The warrant search page above is the direct view of the active list. The data updates on a rolling basis as warrants are served and new ones come out. It is one of the few live county-level warrant databases in the region.

Call the sheriff at (870) 238-5700 for anything the online list does not show. Hours run 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. The warrant search runs 24/7, but staff verification is limited to business hours. Bring a photo ID when you visit.

Cross County Inmate Roster and Child Support Warrants

The sheriff site hosts an inmate roster at crosscountysheriff.org/roster.php. The roster covers current holds at the county jail. When a warrant is served, the subject usually shows up on the roster within hours of booking. Each record shows the name, age, and booking charges.

A separate page at crosscountysheriff.org/deadbeats.php covers child support warrants. The page lets you search by name for parents who have outstanding warrants tied to missed support. Child support warrants fall under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239, and the same due process rules apply.

Note: A warrant that shows on the sheriff search may not yet appear on the court docket, and the reverse is also true. Cross-check both when a record is time-sensitive.

Cross County Circuit Clerk

The Cross County Circuit Clerk is at 705 East Union Avenue in Wynne, which shares the same building as the sheriff. Phone: (870) 238-5750. The clerk is the official keeper of the court file for every warrant issued in the 1st Judicial Circuit. That circuit also covers Lee, Monroe, Phillips, St. Francis, and Woodruff counties, so the clerks move cases across county lines when needed.

Plain copies at the clerk cost $0.25 per page. Certified copies cost $5.00 each. Public access terminals at the courthouse let a visitor pull a case file during regular hours. A written FOIA request can ask for the full case file, the warrant return, and any docket entries. A short letter with the name, date range, and record type works.

The clerk office runs 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Warrant release at the clerk follows Arkansas Code § 12-12-1008. Staff may ask for a photo ID before they confirm a warrant against a name.

Search Cross County Warrants Online

The sheriff warrant database is the primary online tool. For a deeper look at the court file, the Arkansas Judiciary Case Search pulls Cross County circuit court data. Pick the 1st Judicial Circuit and search by party name. The docket entries will often show warrant events with a date of issue and a date of service. The CourtConnect front end runs on the same data.

CourtConnect is a good fallback when the sheriff database is down or when you want to cross-check a warrant against the docket. Older pre-2009 records may have redactions under Administrative Order 19.

For probation or parole warrants, the Arkansas Absconder Search filters by county and by supervising office. Absconders almost always have a live warrant for arrest, and Cross County has its own parole office list.

Types of Warrants in Cross County

Cross County warrants run the full range of criminal and civil types. The sheriff posts most of them on the online list. The clerk holds the court file.

• Arrest warrants on felony charges
• Misdemeanor arrest warrants
• Bench warrants for failure to appear
• Failure to pay fine warrants
• Search warrants tied to investigations
• Child support warrants under Arkansas Code § 9-14-239

Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 7.2 spells 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. Cross County warrants follow that format. Failure-to-appear and failure-to-pay-fine warrants drive a large share of the active list.

Cross County FOIA and Public Access

Cross County warrant records are public under Arkansas Code § 25-19-101. The Arkansas FOIA covers writings, data, and recordings kept by a public agency. Sealed juvenile files, open investigations, and grand jury data stay off the public view. 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. 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. Certified copies cost $5.00.

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.

The State Police page above hosts the statewide criminal history portal. A record pull here can include active warrant data across Cross County and the rest of Arkansas.

Note: Juvenile warrant records, sealed files, and open investigation notes are not part of the public view under state law.
