Back to questions ↑What happens after a federal arrest in Wynne?
Most federal arrests start with teams from the Secret Service, postal inspectors or IRS agents, often helped by state police. Wynne is part of the Eastern District's Northern Division; court dates are set in Jonesboro, 615 South Main Street, Room 312, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Clerk's phone: 870-972-4610. Expect an interview from a pretrial officer before court. The first hearing happens fast, before a federal magistrate judge. Federal court has no bail chart. A judge settles detention or release at a bail hearing following the Bail Reform Act.
Search the local jail list first, where a federal hold might appear. During the case, the Marshals can house federal prisoners in the Wynne jail under contract. This district's Marshals office knows where they are: 501-324-6256, 600 West Capitol Avenue, Suite A328, Little Rock, AR 72201. Following a federal sentence, they go to federal prison (the BOP). Locate them with the BOP inmate locator.
Back to questions ↑How will an ICE hold work here?
- ICE learns about the arrest through booking prints deputies take. ICE may then file a detainer.
- Making the bond doesn't end this hold.
- Rather than leaving, they can be held for at most 48 more hours while ICE arranges pickup. It's a straight 48 hours, counted from the moment they could leave.
- ICE agents may pick them up at the Wynne jail within that window. If they don't come, the jail has to free them.
- Families can look for them on the web through the Online Detainee Locator System, which asks for an A-number and where they were born. Don't have the A-number? Type in the person's legal name, along with nation of birth and DOB instead.
- Where they are sent depends on ICE.
- If the jail can't answer, call the ICE field office for this region at 504-318-2360; it sits at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087.
Leaving the Wynne jail for state prison: how it works
Arkansas's prison system, the ADC, takes anyone given state time. At first, they stay in the Wynne jail while the ADC has a bed ready, sometimes for months. The trip ends at intake, and there they are processed. ADC staff classify everyone after checking security risk, gang connections, and health and mental health needs. Their final step is the prison that fits their needs.
Families can look up them by name or number with the ADC inmate search. For visits and mail, see Arkansas state prisons.
Back to questions ↑Can I look at Cross County mugshots on the web?
Yes. Look the person up in the Cross inmate roster; Cross mugshots are there. Old Cross bookings may not stay posted.
When a booking picture hasn't been posted, media requests go to the sheriff's office by calling 870-238-5700. U.S. booking photos are not shared to reporters or the public. For federal arrests, the mugshot belongs to the Marshals and goes public only for an escapee or fugitive, when it is required right away for community safety or if sharing it helps catch them or alert neighbors. ICE intake photos aren't handed out on request. The route is ICE's FOIA form, and the agency rules on it.
