Which Agency Holds a Report from Bryant
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
Inside Bryant that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Bryant Police Department); outside it, the Saline County Sheriff's Office.
The Hot Springs Village Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Saline County, so its arrests are not broken out for Saline County here.
