Benton County Jail Mugshots Overview
Benton County Sheriff's Office and Jail Mugshots
Sheriff Shawn Holloway runs the Benton County Sheriff's Office. The agency works across 880 square miles in northwest Arkansas. The staff spans the Patrol Division, the CID, the Detention Division, and the Civil Division. The detention team alone runs 142 sworn officers around the clock.
The main web home is sheriff.bentoncountyar.gov. A view of the home page is below. The quick links at the top include Who's In Custody, Fingerprinting, Emergency Alerts, Most Wanted, Mobile App, Warrants, Careers, and Jail Stats. It is a true hub for any Benton County jail mugshots search.
Under Article 7 of the Arkansas Constitution, the sheriff is the chief law officer and the jail custodian. Benton County has that same rule. The sheriff, not the city police in Bentonville, Rogers, or Siloam Springs, holds the booking photo file. Arrests in the cities still land at the county jail for booking.
Jail Dashboard for Benton County Jail Mugshots
The Benton County Jail Dashboard is the flagship tool for current holds. It runs as a real-time data display. Charts show the head count, the gender split, the race split, the age ranges, and the booking trend for the past 30 days. A Recent Bookings panel lists the 10 latest intakes with thumbnail photos. A Population History graph tracks the daily count for the past year. A snapshot of the dashboard is below.
The search tool on the dashboard is strong. Search by first name, last name, booking number, or a booking date range. Filters let you narrow by charge type, bond amount, or housing unit. Results show in a sortable table. Click any row to open the full profile, which has the booking photo, the full charge list with Arkansas Code citations, the bond type, the arresting agency, and the next court date.
The dashboard is the fastest way to find a Benton County mugshot. For a hold that is fresh, the Recent Bookings panel may show the photo before the full profile is indexed. The live count shifts hour to hour as intakes and releases land.
Benton County Jail Mugshots Inmate Roster
A second way to find a Benton County mugshot is the classic inmate roster. The roster page shows each current inmate in a paginated table. Default view is 25 per page and can be set to 10, 50, or 100. Columns cover Name, Booking Number, Booking Date, Charges, and Bond Amount. Each row has a Details link that opens the full profile with the mugshot. A view of the page is below.
The search supports partial name matching, so a few letters of the last name can draw results. The site works on laptops, tablets, and phones. A live Twitter feed on the sheriff's home page shows recent arrests and can tip you off to a mugshot that is about to hit the roster.
Tips for a good search on the Benton County roster:
- Use a partial last name to cast a wider net
- Sort by booking date to find a fresh hold
- Click Details to see the full mugshot and bond data
- Use the Warrants page if the person is not on the roster
- Try the ark.org mobile app for push alerts
Inside the Benton County Detention Center
The Benton County Detention Center is at 1300 SW 14th Street, Bentonville, AR 72712. The jail opened in April 1999. It holds 669 beds across 100,355 square feet. The total build cost was $16.8 million, paid for by a half-cent county jail tax. The goal is a safe, secure, and humane site for staff and inmates.
Visits happen through Securus Technologies. On-site kiosks and remote video visits are both offered. Each inmate gets two 15-minute visits per week. A visit must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Pro visits by lawyers, clergy, and law enforcement are set on a separate schedule and do not count against the weekly limit.
Keefe Commissary Network runs the jail store. Medical care runs through TurnKey Health, with 24-hour nursing, a physician, a mental health counselor, and dental care. The classification team sorts new inmates into housing based on gender, age, record, medical needs, and behavior history. That way the jail can keep the right mix for safety.
Note: The jail was built in 1999 and has been a model for other Arkansas counties that wanted to fund a large jail through a sales tax vote.
FOIA Portal for Benton County Jail Mugshots
The Benton County Sheriff's Office runs a full online FOIA request portal. You fill out the web form with your name, contact info, and a detail of the records you want. Pick how you want the file sent: email, mail, or pickup. A tracking number lets you check on the status later.
Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101), the sheriff has three business days to reply. Copy fees are capped at 25 cents per page. The agency processes about 2,500 FOIA requests a year with an average reply time of 2.3 business days. Accident reports go through a separate portal at crashdocs.org.
If the agency denies a request, you have 30 days to appeal to the Arkansas Attorney General. The AG FOIA hotline is (501) 682-2007. The AG has 30 business days to rule. A win forces the sheriff to hand over the record within 10 business days.
Warrants and Benton County Jail Mugshots
The Benton County Warrants page is a searchable list of active warrants. Search by name, warrant number, or warrant type. Each entry lists the subject's name, date of birth, warrant type, charges, warrant date, and bond. The list is refreshed each day as warrants are served or called back.
Felony warrants come from a circuit judge. Misdemeanor and bench warrants come from a district judge or magistrate. A person with an active warrant should talk with a lawyer before trying to clear the case. The Warrants page is a good cross-check for mugshots since many of the people on the list had a prior booking.
