Tips for Searching the Jail Roster
Start with the last name. That is the field most tools use as the key. If the name is common, add a first initial or a date of birth. If the person was just booked, wait a few hours. Data can lag behind the booking desk by a short time.
Check the Detainee Alpha Roster if the main search misses a person. The full A to Z list catches spelling issues. Also check nearby counties if the arrest was on a road that crosses a county line. Some Fayetteville cases end up at Benton or Madison County depending on where the stop took place.
If a name is not on the Fayetteville Jail Roster and you know there was a recent arrest, call the Washington County Detention Center at 479-444-5830. A clerk can confirm a booking or point you to the right state facility. Always have the full name, a date of birth, and the arrest date ready to speed the call.
