Berryville, Arkansas, in Carroll County, has about 5,800 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Carroll County Circuit Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Berryville
The FBI lists Berryville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Berryville Police Department. It reported 137 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Carroll County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 284 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Berryville Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Berryville: 137 for 2025, 240 for 2024, 312 for 2023, 265 for 2022, 186 for 2021 and 269 for 2020.
Berryville's 137 arrests in 2025 were down 43 percent from 240 in 2024.
Through June 2026, Berryville reported 73 arrests, against 55 in the same months of 2025.
Across Carroll County, the four agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 780 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Berryville Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Berryville is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2019 the jail held about 100 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 121 beds, and it ran at 84 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office at carrollcountysheriffar.gov/inmate-roster/filters/current/booking_ti... (page title: Inmate Roster | Carroll County Sheriff's Office | Sort Booking Time | Descending | Page 1), phone 870-423-2901, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Arkansas Division of Correction, whose inmate locator is at doc.arkansas.gov/correction/online-services.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Berryville
An arrest in Berryville can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the custody page of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Carroll County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad).
Statewide, CourtConnect is the Arkansas Judiciary's free statewide case search.
Arkansas is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the state runs an online name-based background check open to the public, through the Arkansas State Police. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Berryville
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act the agency must answer within 3 working days when the record is not immediately available, and it may charge the actual cost of copying.
