Randolph County, Arkansas

The Randolph County Detention Center stands at 1510 Pace Road in Pocahontas, the county seat on the Black River, and is overseen by the Randolph County Sheriff's Office. Bookings flow in from the sheriff's own deputies, the Pocahontas Police Department, and officers in the county's outlying towns, funneling nearly all of Randolph County's arrests through this single building. Because the jail keeps its records online, you do not have to phone ahead to see who is being held.

An online roster at randolphcountysheriff.org lets you search current detainees by name and shows anyone released within the past two days. Each record points back to the booking essentials—the arrest date, the filed charges, and the bond amount—which stay open to the public under Arkansas's open-records law. For a charge or release time that has not posted yet, the jail answers around the clock at (870) 892-0838.

About Randolph County

Organized in 1835 and taking its name from the Virginia statesman John Randolph of Roanoke, the county has been governed from Pocahontas since 1836, when the Black River port town edged out its rivals for the seat. History runs deep just to the south: at Davidsonville, the Arkansas Territory opened one of its first post offices and first courthouses in the early 1800s before the settlement faded—a story now preserved at Davidsonville Historic State Park. About 18,600 people live across the county, in Pocahontas and farm towns such as Maynard, Biggers, and Reyno, on an economy of row-crop and livestock farming, timber, and the recreation those five rivers invite—the floating and cold-water fishing that draw visitors to the Spring and Eleven Point in particular.
