Centerton Released Inmates

Centerton released inmates records sit with the Benton County Sheriff. Centerton Police make arrests inside the city. The arrestee goes straight to the Benton County Detention Center in Bentonville for booking and release. The city does not run a jail of its own. That means every Centerton released inmates search starts with the county roster. This page walks through the right roster, the city police, court files, and the full set of FOIA and alert tools.

FOIA for Centerton Records

The Arkansas FOIA at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. covers arrest records, booking photos, jail rosters, and most police reports. Agencies have three business days to respond. No statement of purpose is needed. The requester's motive is not the agency's business.

For Centerton records, the city uses a written FOIA form available at City Hall at 1300 Main Street. Submit in person, by mail, email, fax, or letter. The request must be in writing. The city acknowledges within 24 hours and provides records within three days. An extension notice goes out if more time is needed. A denial letter must cite the statute that allows the refusal.

For county side records, send the request to the Benton County Sheriff or the Benton County Circuit Clerk. The Arkansas Attorney General publishes a FOIA handbook with sample letters.

Centerton Released Inmates Next Steps

Start at the Benton County roster for the newest booking data. Move to the recent release list if the person is already out. Hit ADC for state prison history. Use VINELink for live alerts. Hit CourtConnect for court files. Use ARCH or the ASP CBC for criminal history.

If you hit a dead end online, email policeclerks@centertonpd.com or call the Benton County Sheriff at (479) 271-1009. Both run standard Arkansas FOIA workflows. Written requests tend to move faster than walk ins for older records.

Federal cases tied to the Western District of Arkansas in Fayetteville run through the U.S. Marshals and the federal Bureau of Prisons. Federal data shows up on the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, not in CourtConnect or the sheriff's portal. If the arrest was by the FBI, DEA, ATF, or a U.S. Marshal, the federal side is where to look for Centerton cases.
