Send the FOIA note to the Marion County Sheriff's Office at P.O. Box 366, Yellville, AR 72687, or to 221 Randolph Road if you drop the note off in person. A clean request lists the full legal name, the date of birth, the date range of the booking, and the specific record sought. Ask for "the booking mugshot and arrest report" to keep the scope tight.
