Logan County Warrant Records Lookup

Logan County warrant records are kept by the Sheriff in Paris and by the Circuit Clerk at the courthouse. The Sheriff maintains an inmate roster and a live warrant verification line. A free statewide case search from the Arkansas Judiciary is the quickest way to check a name online. This page covers the full set of options for a Logan County warrant search, along with the statutes that make the records open, the office phones, and the state portals that pair with local tools.

Logan County Sheriff Warrants

The Logan County Sheriff's Office sits at 508 N. Spruce Street, Paris, AR 72855. The office phone is (479) 963-3271. Staff can verify whether a person has an active warrant on file. The Sheriff also runs an inmate roster that can confirm custody after a warrant has been served. The roster does not post a full warrant list but it closes the loop when a subject has been picked up.

Deputies serve every type of warrant in Logan County. Arrest warrants on new charges come from the Circuit Court after a prosecutor or officer files a sworn affidavit. Bench warrants come out when a defendant misses a court date. Capias warrants follow a grand jury. Search warrants cover property. Civil process and child support warrants also run through the Sheriff for service.

Note: Logan County has two court districts, the Northern District based in Paris and the Southern District in Booneville. Confirm which district handles the case before filing a records request.

Bring a valid photo ID to the front desk. Staff release warrant data under the identification rules at Arkansas Code § 12-12-1008. The rule sets out who can get what, and what proof is required.

Logan County Circuit Clerk

The Logan County Circuit Clerk is in Paris. The office phone is (479) 963-2164. The clerk holds the court file for every case in the Circuit Court, including the warrant return and the signed warrant itself. A clerk can pull a case by name or case number during regular hours.

Inspection at the counter is free. Copy fees run a few cents per page. Certified copies cost more. The clerk can tell you whether a warrant is open, served, or recalled but cannot give legal advice on next steps.

Logan County Case Search Online

The Arkansas Judiciary Case Search gives the fastest online path for Logan County warrant records. The portal uses the Contexte case system and covers both the Circuit Court and the District Court. You can search by first and last name, by organization, by case description, or by case number. Docket entries list the date a warrant was issued, the bond amount when set, and the service date.

The case search above is free to use. Certified copies still come from the Logan County Circuit Clerk. Help with the tool is at (501) 410-1900 option 1 or toll free at (866) 823-5778.

The CourtConnect direct URL pulls from the same data set. Power users prefer it for bulk name checks. Records before January 1, 2009 may show redacted fields under Administrative Order 19.

State Police Background Checks

The Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau runs the state-level criminal history check. The report can include warrant and arrest history from Logan County and beyond. The online version runs through the Information Network of Arkansas. An INA account is required and the subject must sign a consent form.

A mail-in check costs $25 per subject. Volunteer checks for a non-profit cost $11 under the Criminal History for Volunteers Act. Arkansas State Police Form 122 is the paper form. Fingerprints apply under Arkansas Code § 12-12-211 when the rule calls for them.

The Arkansas Crime Information Center runs the statewide warrant index for law enforcement. Logan County warrants enter ACIC when filed. The full database is closed to the public but limited status release can happen under the identification rules.

FOIA and Public Access

Warrants in Logan County are open records under the state Freedom of Information Act. The law sits at Arkansas Code § 25-19-101. Any citizen can review an open warrant file. The first hour of search time is free under § 25-19-105(d)(2)(A). Copy fees are modest.

The Arkansas Attorney General runs a FOIA hotline at 1-800-482-8982. The hotline helps with records questions and can step in if a Logan County office fails to respond on time. A written request should list the subject's name, a date range, and the issuing court when known.

Some files stay sealed. Ongoing investigations, grand jury material, juvenile records, and protected identity cases are held back. Most warrant filings stay open.

Note: Rule 7.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure sets the content that every warrant must hold, from the subject's full name to the statute cited and the signing judge.

Absconder and Corrections Check

The Arkansas Absconder Search covers people who walked away from probation or parole. Most absconders have an open warrant out. The tool filters by name, county, and supervising office. The Arkansas Department of Corrections runs an inmate search that can confirm custody once a warrant has been served.

Logan County Warrant Types

A Logan County judge signs each warrant after reading a sworn affidavit. The same core types show up on the active list across both court districts in the county. Each has its own trigger, its own court file, and its own path to service.

• Arrest warrants for new felony or misdemeanor charges
• Bench warrants for failure to appear in court
• Capias warrants after a grand jury indictment
• Search warrants for a person, vehicle, or property
• Child support warrants under § 9-14-239
• Alias warrants that reissue an earlier unserved order

Bench warrants usually lead the active list because missed District Court dates are common in both the Paris and Booneville districts. The content of every warrant is set in Rule 7.2 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure. Full name, offense, statute cite, issuing court, bond when set, and the signing judge all appear on the face of the order.

Logan County Warrant Search Tips

Run the full legal name on the state case search, and add a middle initial when you have one. Match by case number or filing date when two people share a common name. The case search does not show date of birth. That can throw off a match on a quick query. The two-district setup in Logan County means some files come out of Paris and some out of Booneville. Try both when the first search returns nothing.

Call the Sheriff at (479) 963-3271 or the Circuit Clerk at (479) 963-2164 if the online search comes up empty. A brand new warrant may sit at the Sheriff for a day or two before the filing hits the state portal.

Note: Logan County inmate roster matches often mean the warrant has already been served. Pair the roster with the case search for the full picture.
