Finding Someone in Custody in Pike County
The county jail, run by the Pike County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Pike County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Pike County Sheriff's Office at pikecso.com/inmateSearch (page title: Pike County Sheriff’s Office (AR)), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone 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.
