Arrested by federal agents? How it works here

It often starts when Homeland Security Investigations, IRS agents, or the U.S. Marshals make an arrest. Federal cases from Sheridan land in Arkansas's Eastern District, Central Division, which meets in Little Rock: 500 West Capitol Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72201. Clerk's phone: 501-604-5351. The first court date is held quickly with a federal magistrate judge. Pretrial services meets them and reports for the court. The federal system doesn't use a bail schedule. The magistrate decides whether they go home at a short hearing under federal bail law.

Meanwhile, the Marshals Service can place them in local jails under contract. Search the local roster right away, where the hold might appear. The U.S. Marshals branch that serves this part of the state is at 600 West Capitol Avenue, Suite A328, Little Rock, AR 72201. Phone 501-324-6256 to find someone in federal custody. Once there is a prison sentence, they transfer to a BOP prison. Locate them with the BOP inmate locator.

Did ICE place a hold on a family member? Here are the steps

  • Jail prints get compared with national records that ICE uses. ICE can then lodge a detainer at the jail.
  • Forty-eight hours is the most: ICE's request only asks jail staff not to let them out yet until officers arrive. Weekends and holidays count toward the time.
  • Posting bail will not erase it. The hold simply begins then.
  • During that window, ICE may come to collect them. If ICE misses the deadline, staff is supposed to free them.
  • Transfers between centers happen, so look at the ICE locator now and then using the A-number and country of birth. Don't have the A-number? Enter nation of birth, DOB, and the person's full name instead.
  • Every Arkansas case is run from the New Orleans ERO office, located at 181 James Drive W, St. Rose, LA 70087, 504-318-2360.
  • ICE alone picks the next facility.

How will the move from the Sheridan jail to the ADC happen?

Prison sentences are served under the ADC. Until then, they remain in the county jail while the state sends for them. The trip lands them at reception, and there they get checked in. Classification staff review each person for gang ties, security level, and medical and mental health needs. Their final move is a unit that fits those results.

The ADC inmate search lists where they are housed once they arrive. The Arkansas prison page covers prison addresses.

Back to questions ↑

Are there Grant County mugshots I can look up?

No. Look up a person in the Grant County inmate search for Grant booking details. The Grant list shows inmates without mugshots. The City of Sheridan hosts this roster for the Grant County Sheriff's Office.

For a picture taken in ICE custody, families and media use a FOIA request to ICE, and ICE can deny it. The sheriff's office, 870-942-8925, handles press requests for mugshots that aren't public. Federal booking photos are not shared with the public or the media. The federal system holds booking pictures back; the Marshals make an exception only for someone who escaped, for immediate community safety, or when release could help catch them or alert neighbors.
