Washington County Booking Reports

Washington County booking reports come out of the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville. The Washington County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and posts an online detainee roster at washcosoar.gov. The roster covers every arrest in the county, including Fayetteville and Springdale. You can look up Washington County booking reports by name, intake date, age, or bond amount. Older records come from the sheriff's records division.

Washington County Sheriff's Office

The sheriff's office sits at 1155 W. Sunset Avenue in Fayetteville. The main line is 479-444-5830. The office handles all law enforcement for the unincorporated parts of Washington County and runs the detention center. The sheriff is the custodian for Washington County booking reports and works under the Arkansas FOIA to share public records.

Every arrest made inside the county passes through the sheriff's booking system. That includes arrests by Fayetteville Police, Springdale Police, and smaller city departments. The detention center keeps the master file: intake photo, fingerprints, charge list, and bond info. If you need the printed booking report, you ask the sheriff's records division, not the arresting agency.

The office also partners with state systems like ACIC, CourtConnect, and the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Data flows both directions. Booking entries in Washington County feed ACIC's state repository, which is used by courts and agencies statewide.

The Washington County detainee roster is the fastest online route to Washington County booking reports, updated multiple times a day.

The table shows name (last, first), age, race code, sex, prior booking count, intake date and time, and bond amount in one view.

Washington County Detainee Roster

The online detainee roster is free and open to the public. Each row shows key fields you need to confirm a Washington County booking report:

• Name last, first
• Age
• Race code (W, B, H, P, etc.)
• Sex (M or F)
• Prior bookings count
• Intake date and time
• Bond amount (shown as N/A when no bond is set)

Sample entries help show the format. One entry might read "HARRIS, CINDY, 59, W, F, 1, 09/19/2025 05:30, $6,000.00." Another might be "HASKINS, JOE, 36, B, M, 2, 07/31/2025 18:43, $250,000.00." A "Last Updated" timestamp sits at the top of the table. The roster refreshes often.

The roster is the first stop for anyone checking if a friend or family member has been booked into the Washington County jail. Many recent Fayetteville and Springdale arrests show up here within hours of intake.

Washington County Detention Center

The detention center is the primary booking and holding facility for everyone arrested in Washington County. Booking covers search, fingerprinting, mugshot, charge entry, bond setup, and housing. Each person gets a unique booking number that tracks their case through the jail and the courts.

The facility holds pretrial detainees, people serving short sentences, and those waiting to be moved to the Arkansas Division of Correction. Fayetteville and Springdale are the two largest cities in the county, and both bring the bulk of the jail's intake volume. Smaller towns like Farmington and Johnson also feed cases in.

You can request copies of a booking photo or a booking report from the sheriff's records division. Plain copies usually cost $0.25 per page. Certified copies cost more. The request can go in by mail, fax, email, or in person.

FOIA and Washington County Booking Reports

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 makes most Washington County booking reports public. You can file a written request with the sheriff's records division. Include the subject's full name, date of birth, and rough date of arrest. The custodian has three business days to respond under § 25-19-105.

Some records are closed. Juvenile arrest records are exempt under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309. Active investigations stay sealed while the case is open. Medical files and victim identity in sex offenses are redacted. Everything else tends to come out on request.

Access to older criminal history data runs through the ARCH system. That's paid at $24 a search and covers felony and misdemeanor convictions statewide, not just Washington County. For current jail data, the detainee roster is the better bet.

The Arkansas Criminal History (ARCH) system supplies statewide conviction data that backs up Washington County booking reports with longer-term history from sentencing courts.

ARCH was set up by Act 1185 of 2015 under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1501 and runs paid $24 name-based searches.

State Tools for Washington County Booking Reports

A few state-level tools round out Washington County booking reports. The ADC inmate search at apps.ark.org covers state prison inmates, including people sentenced through Washington County circuit courts. The CourtConnect portal shows court case filings, hearings, and dispositions. Washington County has partial coverage in CourtConnect.

The Arkansas State Police background check at cbc.ark.org is another path. It needs written consent from the subject. Fees are $22 per Arkansas name check, $13 for FBI fingerprint checks. Federal arrests go through the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator.
