Miller County Sheriff Criminal History Records

The Miller County Sheriff's Office is the key source for Miller County Criminal History data. The Bi State Justice Building at 400 Laurel Street in Texarkana houses most admin offices. The detention center is at 2300 East Street, Texarkana, AR 71854, and the main phone line is (870) 774-3001. The website is millercountyso.us. The jail line runs 24 hours a day for booking and inmate lookup calls.

Arrest files at the Sheriff's Office list full name, age, physical details, date of the stop, time, place, charges, and arresting officer. The booking process adds a photo, fingerprint card, charge sheet, a list of personal items, and a medical review. Most booking data feeds the public inmate roster. Between 2013 and 2021 there were 1,706 arrests in the county, and 82% were non violent low level offenses. Drug possession was 14%, and violent crime 4%.

For a live inmate lookup, the Sheriff recommends two tools. The first is VINELink, which gives custody status and free alerts by phone, email, or TTY. The second is the Mobile Patrol app, open on iOS and Android, which shows the inmate roster and recent bookings. In person records requests can be made at the detention center during regular hours.

The Warrants Division handles active Miller County Criminal History warrants. A call with full name and date of birth lets staff check the list. Active warrants may result in arrest, so people with open warrants should plan to turn themselves in. The Sheriff's team also moves long term sentenced inmates to state prison after commitment, and works with Texas side law enforcement due to the border location of Texarkana.
