Find DUI Records in Conway

Conway DUI records come from the Conway Police Department and Faulkner County courts. This guide covers how to request arrest reports, search court cases online, view calls for service, and file a FOIA request for DUI-related records in Conway, Arkansas.

Conway Police Department

The Conway Police Department handles DUI arrests within city limits. The main phone number is (501) 450-6120. The Records Division processes requests for incident reports, accident reports, and arrest records. All requests follow Arkansas FOIA rules, which require a response within three business days.

The Conway PD website at conwaypd.org has department contact information, news, and resources. For accident reports related to DUI incidents, you can request them from the department or use BuyCrash online. Arkansas State Police crash reports are available at crashreports.ark.org for $10.00.

Conway also offers a public calls-for-service tool. You can view recent police activity, including DUI-related calls, at conwayarkansas.gov/calls-for-service. This tool shows recent incidents by location and type but does not include detailed report information.

Faulkner County District Court

Misdemeanor DUI and DWI cases from Conway go through the Faulkner County District Court, located at 801 Locust Avenue, Conway, AR. Faulkner County District Court handles misdemeanor criminal matters including first and second DWI offenses, traffic citations, and small claims. Conway is the county seat of Faulkner County, so the district court is right in the city.

For case information, contact the court clerk or use CourtConnect online. Fines can be paid through pay.arcourts.gov. Case filings, hearing records, plea entries, and sentencing information are all part of the public record for district court matters. If you need certified copies, request them in person at the courthouse.

Felony DUI Cases in Faulkner County

Fourth and subsequent DWI offenses within the 10-year lookback period become felonies under Arkansas law. Those Conway-area cases go to the Faulkner County Circuit Court, which also sits in Conway. The circuit clerk maintains felony criminal records for the county. Since Conway is the county seat, the circuit court and district court are nearby.

To get records from the Faulkner County Circuit Court, visit the clerk's office or contact them by phone. You can also search case information through CourtConnect. For detailed instructions and courthouse contact information, visit the Faulkner County DUI Records page.

Calls for Service and Online Search Tools

Conway offers a public calls-for-service page that shows recent police dispatches including DUI-related incidents. Visit conwayarkansas.gov/calls-for-service for that data. It is a useful snapshot of recent police activity but does not replace full court or arrest records.

For court case searches, use Arkansas CourtConnect. That system covers both district and circuit court cases across Arkansas, including Faulkner County. Search by name, case number, or case type. The portal is free and available around the clock. The Arkansas Judiciary website also links to court payment tools and county court contact information.

FOIA Requests in Conway

For records held by the Conway Police Department or city offices, submit a FOIA request in writing. Under Arkansas FOIA, the city must respond within three business days. You do not need to be an Arkansas resident to request public records. Fees cover the actual cost of copying. Some records are not public, including active investigation files, juvenile records, sealed cases, and medical information.

Conway does not currently maintain a public online FOIA submission portal. Written requests can be submitted by mail or in person. If you have questions about whether a specific record is available, contact the department directly or call the Arkansas Attorney General's FOIA Hotline at (800) 482-8982. They can advise on your rights under state law at no charge.

Some agencies in Arkansas charge for staff time spent locating records if the request requires more than a routine search. Always ask about expected costs before submitting. Pre-payment may be required for larger requests. For accident reports tied to DUI incidents, using BuyCrash or the state crash report portal is often faster than a FOIA request since those are set up for direct ordering without a formal written request.

DWI Laws in Conway

Conway follows Arkansas state law. There is no local DUI ordinance. Adults over 21 face DWI charges at 0.08% BAC. Drivers under 21 face DUI charges at 0.02%. First offense: up to one year in jail, $150 to $1,000 fine, six-month suspension. Second offense in five years: at least seven days in jail, $400 to $3,000 fine, 24-month suspension. Third offense in five years: 90 days to one year in jail and a 30-month suspension.

A fourth offense within the 10-year lookback period is a felony with one to six years in prison and a four-year revocation. Arkansas does not allow plea bargaining to a lesser charge on a DWI. The implied consent law means that by driving you agree to chemical testing. Refusal results in an automatic 180-day license suspension on the first refusal. License suspension and reinstatement records are managed by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.
