How to Find Someone in Craighead County Jail Using the Online Inmate Roster
Start with the Craighead County online inmate roster linked by the Sheriff's Office: https://www.myr2m.com/craigheadroster/. From there, search by name and use the details shown to confirm you've found the right person.
You're trying to answer two questions: Is this person listed? And is it the right person? Check name spellings carefully - middle names sometimes show as initials, and hyphenated last names can appear differently. If multiple people share a similar name, use identifiers like age or date of birth to narrow it down. Keep in mind that rosters update throughout the day as people are booked or released, so custody status can change quickly.
Tip: For verification, stick with the Craighead County roster at https://www.myr2m.com/craigheadroster/ so you’re using the same source the Sheriff’s Office points people to.
If Not Listed
- ✓ Try alternate spellings (common typos, missing spaces, or swapped letters)
- ✓ Search using just the last name, then scan the results
- ✓ Check for a middle name, middle initial, or a shortened first name (Mike vs. Michael)
- ✓ Look for possible aliases or a maiden name if you know one
- ✓ If you’re searching right after an arrest, check again later - roster updates aren’t always instant
- Call the non-emergency line - Contact the Craighead County Sheriff’s Office at 870-935-5553 (available 24 hours) and ask whether the person is in custody.
- Follow up during office hours if you need more help - If you’re trying to sort out details or keep missing them on the roster, reach out Monday–Friday, 8:00am–5:00pm for assistance.
Need to reach someone directly? The Western District Office is at 901 Willett Rd., Jonesboro, AR 72401 - call 870-933-4551. The Eastern District Office is at 107 Cobean Blvd., Lake City, AR 72437, and you can reach them at 870-237-4511.
Caution: Use the official roster link - https://www.myr2m.com/craigheadroster/ - when you’re trying to confirm someone’s custody status, and be careful with third-party “inmate search” sites.
Before assuming someone isn't listed, double-check your search. Try alternate spellings, swap the first and last name, and look closely at any identifiers - especially if several people share similar names. If you're not certain you've found the right person, confirm before sharing the information or making plans based on it.
