Springdale Released Inmates

Springdale released inmates records run through the Washington County Sheriff's Office, not through a city jail. Most of Springdale sits in Washington County, with a small slice crossing into Benton County. The Springdale Police Department makes the arrest. The Washington County Sheriff handles booking, detention, and release. That means a Springdale released inmates search starts at the county detainee roster, not at a city tool. Court records move through the Springdale District Court and the Washington County Circuit Court. This page points you to each roster, record office, and statewide tool tied to Springdale.

Where to Find Springdale Released Inmates

For anyone booked inside Springdale city limits, the right first stop is the Washington County Detainee Alpha Roster.

A separate intake roster shows the last three days of bookings with release dates. Both views link off the county sheriff's home page.

If the case ended in a state prison sentence, search the Arkansas Department of Corrections inmate tool. For release alerts in real time, sign up at VINELink. Court filings for Springdale cases run through the Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect portal. The portal covers cases from January 1, 2009 onward.
