Oct. 21, 2026 · Washington County Jail records

133 people are in the county jail on Springdale police arrests. 21 of them are charged with rape or sexual assault.

Springdale doesn't publish a monthly crime report the way Fayetteville does. So we counted what the public Washington County Jail records show: 133 people in custody on Springdale police arrests as of October 21.

Of those, 21 are held on rape or sexual assault charges and 19 on aggravated assault. Another 34 are held on assault and battery, and 18 of those are domestic. That is more than half.

How to read these numbers

These count people still in custody on Springdale 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.

One person can be charged with more than one thing, so a person can show up in more than one row. 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.
