Oct. 22, 2026 · Benton County Jail records91 people are in the county jail on Bentonville police arrests. 9 of them are charged with rape or sexual assault.
Bentonville doesn't publish a monthly crime report the way Fayetteville does. So we counted what the public Benton County jail roster shows: 91 people in custody on Bentonville police arrests as of October 22.
Of those, 9 are held on rape or sexual assault charges and 10 on aggravated assault. Another 21 are held on assault and battery, and 10 of those are domestic. That is nearly half.
Rogers and Bentonville come from the same jail roster, so these two can sit side by side. Bentonville has 52 fewer people in custody than Rogers, 91 to 143. But more of them are held on aggravated assault: 10 here, 7 in Rogers.

91 Bentonville PD arrests on file, Oct. 22How to read these numbers
These count people still in custody on Bentonville police arrests, not incidents reported in a month. They are not the same kind of number as Fayetteville's, so do not set the two side by side.
The jail roster does show when each person was booked: 19 of these 91 were booked so far in October and 14 in September. Older months look smaller because people booked then are more likely to be released already, so this is not a month-by-month trend.
One person can be charged with more than one thing, so a person can show up in more than one row. A murder entry can be a pending warrant the jail is holding the person on. People who were arrested and have already been released are not counted, so these are a floor, not the full picture.
An arrest is an accusation. It is not a conviction.
