Pulaski County jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility. It is an arrest-stage record: it says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It never says the person was convicted.
Most official rosters list only the people held now, so an entry usually comes down after release.

Booking at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility
Shows that someone was arrested in Pulaski County and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility roster.
Filed in the Circuit Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the Circuit Court; a misdemeanor to the District Court. The charge filed can differ from the charge at booking.
Disposition in the court file
Conviction, dismissal or acquittal is in the court record, kept by the Circuit Clerk. Arkansas court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record alone never proves a crime. Read the guide to arrest records for how bookings, charges and dispositions differ, and why a dismissed charge can still appear.

Pulaski County warrant search: Arkansas warrant lookup.
Arkansas publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it, so a warrant entered there for someone in Pulaski County shows with the person’s other records. Not every local warrant reaches a published list. A search that finds nothing is not proof that no warrant exists; to be certain, ask the Pulaski County sheriff’s office or the Circuit Clerk.
Pulaski County mugshots: where booking photos are published.
A booking photo is taken at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility when someone is booked. Where Pulaski County publishes it, it appears on the official roster, usually only while the person is held.
OffenderSearch does not show or sell booking photos, and never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, and several states restrict sites that charge to take one down.
