Yell County Sheriff and Recent Bookings

The Yell County Sheriff's Office runs from two locations because of the dual county seat. The Danville office is at 201 E. 5th St., PO Box 99, Danville, AR 72833. Phone is (479) 495-4881. The Dardanelle office is at 309 N 2nd Street, Dardanelle, AR 72834. Phone is (479) 229-2493. The Sheriff's site is at yellcountyar.gov/elected-county-offices-officials/sheriffs-office.

The two offices split coverage of the county. Yell County bookings from the western district run through Danville. Yell County bookings from the eastern district run through Dardanelle. Both feed into the same Yell County jail system. The Sheriff also posts updates on Facebook at facebook.com/yellcountysheriff.
