How Centerton Bookings Work

A Centerton officer makes the arrest and moves the person to the Benton County Detention Center. The intake team runs the prints, takes the photo, and logs the charges. A judge sets the bond. Most misdemeanor cases clear within hours.

Felony cases wait for a first appearance before a circuit judge. The mugshot is locked in at intake, so the photo is live on the roster before the bond is set. A new mugshot is taken if the same person is booked again on a new case.
