Find Searcy Recent Bookings
Searcy recent bookings are housed at the White County Detention Center, not at a city lockup. The Searcy Police Department makes the arrest, then the person is booked into the White County Jail on East Booth Road. Because Searcy is the White County seat, the jail and courthouse both sit inside the city. You can search Searcy recent bookings by name or booking date on the White County Sheriff's online inmate roster. Use the links below to find Searcy booking records, jail info, and court case files tied to city arrests.
