Logan County Sex Offenders Overview
Logan County Sex Offender Registry Search
The state database for Logan County sex offenders is available at ark.org/offender-search. You can filter by county to see only Logan County registrants. Each result includes a photo, current home address, vehicle description, and a summary of the qualifying offense. The tool is free and does not require a login or account.
Only Level 3 and Level 4 sex offenders are visible to the general public. Level 1 and Level 2 registrants are kept off the public site. Law enforcement agencies have full access to all four tiers. If a name doesn't appear when you search Logan County, that person may be registered at a lower risk level, may have moved, or may have been removed from the registry through a court petition.
Logan County is unusual among Arkansas counties in that it has two county seats, Paris and Booneville. The Logan County government coordinates services across both locations, and the Sheriff's Office handles sex offender registration at both courthouse sites. Contact the Sheriff's Office to confirm which location is correct for your appointment.
The Arkansas Sex Offender Registration Act governs all registrations processed by the Logan County Sheriff's Office, whether handled in Paris or Booneville.
Logan County Sheriff's Office and Registration Process
The Logan County Sheriff's Office is responsible for all sex offender registration in the county. Anyone who moves to Logan County and is required to register must do so within three business days of setting up a residence. The three-day window begins the moment you establish a home address, not when you finish unpacking or notify anyone else. Weekends do not extend the deadline.
At your first registration appointment, the Sheriff's Office will collect full identifying information: your legal name and all aliases, date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license or state ID number, current home address, employer or school information, details on every vehicle you own or use, and every online account, email address, and screen name you have. A photo is taken on the spot and uploaded to the ACIC registry through the CENSOR system. Fingerprints and a DNA sample are also required at initial registration.
With two courthouse locations, it's worth confirming which one handles sex offender registration for your part of the county before you go in. Call the Sheriff's Office in advance.
Note: Logan County sex offenders must give at least ten days' advance notice before changing their address. Emergency changes from disasters must be reported within three business days.
Risk Levels for Logan County Sex Offenders
SOSRA, the Sex Offender Screening and Risk Assessment unit, conducts every risk assessment for Logan County registrants. SOSRA is based at 2403 E. Harding Ave. in Pine Bluff, phone (870) 850-8429. The risk level SOSRA assigns controls notification and check-in frequency for the life of the registration.
Arkansas's community notification regulations define four risk tiers under the state's Megan's Law framework. Level 1 (low risk) carries no public notification. Only law enforcement and household members are told. Level 2 (moderate risk) allows schools to be notified at law enforcement's discretion. Level 3 (high risk) requires direct community notification, including door-to-door contact with neighbors and outreach to every school in the area. Level 4 (sexually violent predator) triggers the broadest notification, including media alerts, community meetings, and widely distributed printed materials.
Logan County offenders who refuse the SOSRA interview or fail to show up are automatically assigned Level 3 or referred for Level 4 consideration. The law does not allow you to avoid assessment. Refusing it leads to the default outcome, which is among the most restrictive.
Arkansas Sex Offender Law in Logan County
The Arkansas Sex Offender Registration Act at Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-901 et seq. is the legal foundation for everything the Logan County Sheriff's Office does when registering sex offenders. The law lists all target offenses: rape under § 5-14-103, sexual assault in first through fourth degrees, sexual indecency with a child under § 5-14-110, computer child pornography under § 5-27-603, internet stalking of a child under § 5-27-306, and others. Any conviction for a listed offense triggers registration in Logan County regardless of where the offense occurred.
Out-of-state offenders moving to Logan County register the same way everyone else does. If registration was required in another state, it is required in Logan County too. An Arkansas registration guide explains the full list of documents needed at a first-time registration appointment: court papers, valid ID, proof of address, vehicle details, and all online account information. Bring everything at once to avoid a second appointment.
Nonresident workers and students are also required to register. Fourteen or more consecutive days in Logan County for work or school triggers registration. So does thirty total days in a year. You register at the sheriff's office in the county where you work or attend school, not where you live.
Check-In Rules and Non-Compliance in Logan County
Sex offenders in Logan County must appear at the Sheriff's Office in person on a fixed schedule. Level 1, 2, and 3 offenders check in every six months. Level 4 offenders check in every three months. At each visit the officer confirms the registrant's current address and updates any changed information. A new photo is taken at every check-in.
Failure to comply carries serious consequences. Missing a verification, skipping the initial registration, moving without ten days' notice, or giving false information during any registration or check-in are all Class C felonies. Each conviction carries three to ten years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Three convictions for failure to register trigger lifetime registration with no petition option.
The Arkansas Administrative Code sets out what gets recorded at each Logan County verification visit through the CENSOR system, including all residential, employment, vehicle, and online account changes.
Level 3 and Level 4 registrants in Logan County cannot live within 2,000 feet of a public or private elementary or secondary school or licensed daycare. Federal courts upheld this restriction in Weems v. Little Rock Police Department. Living within the buffer zone in violation of the restriction is a Class D felony.
The CENSOR system used at Logan County check-ins automatically generates updated registration forms from officer entries, removing any need for paper submissions to ACIC.
Removing a Sex Offender from the Logan County Registry
Eligible Logan County sex offenders can petition a court to end their registration requirement. Under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-919, the petition window opens fifteen years after the offender was released from custody or placed on supervision. The court must be satisfied that no new sex offense has occurred during those fifteen years and that the offender does not pose a risk to public safety.
At least thirty days before the court hearing, the petition must be served on the prosecuting attorney, the ACIC Sex Offender Registry at One Capitol Mall in Little Rock, and the Community Notification Assessment office. Any victims enrolled in the VINE system receive notice and may attend. If the court denies the petition, a new one cannot be filed for three years. Sexually violent predators generally cannot petition at all, facing lifetime registration by default.
