The 2026 oval in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, not Troy, not Tennessee
This page is the arena for this office. Unique teaching for the job lives on the office twin. The county as a place is taught at Pike County.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
Murfreesboro, Arkansas, hires one Sheriff. Troy does not. Murfreesboro, Tennessee, does not. Glenwood does not.
Arkansas Constitution Article 7, § 46: four years. Sheriff sits on the gubernatorial table. Amendment 95 moved the desk from two years to four beginning 2018. One sheriff for Pike County, Arkansas — not for Pike County, Alabama, not for Rutherford County, Tennessee.

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Justices of the peace sit on a two-year clock — not this oval. The County Judge is four years — not this oval. An Alabama rumor does not hire this badge. A Tennessee rumor does not hire this badge. Troy is a different state. Alabama’s vacancy is Governor appointment — not this statute. Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a different county. Glenwood is a city, not the hall. Little Rock is still the capital.

What you are hiring — diamond-country patrol and a 78-bed house this Sheriff still holds in Murfreesboro, Arkansas
You are hiring the Sheriff of Pike County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol on Highway 27 and hill roads, warrants, civil process, courthouse security at 1 Courthouse Square, and detention this Sheriff still holds at 305 Industrial Park Drive (ASA 78 beds). Combined Collector is a different door on the same person — confirm live. You are not hiring Murfreesboro PD. You are not hiring Glenwood PD. You are not hiring Pike County, Alabama. You are not hiring Rutherford County. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for 305 Industrial Park Drive as this jailer, Murfreesboro, Arkansas, as the seat, Troy as Alabama, not this house, and Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as a different city.
Remedy when a writ misses Glenwood
A bad service or a paper that missed Delight — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. The Quorum Court is not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Alabama. Not Tennessee. Not Glenwood City Hall as this oval.
Relief when the Little Missouri rises or Highway 27 ices
High water on the Little Missouri, a wreck on Highway 27, fog toward Daisy, ice toward Delight — this county’s mutual aid first. Howard is a different count. Montgomery is a different count. Clark is a different count. Murfreesboro city hall is a different government. Alabama is a different state. Tennessee is a different state.
Service — papers on Courthouse Square, night hours the office posts
Papers filed at 1 Courthouse Square. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated Highway 27 frontage remains this badge. County detention at 305 Industrial Park Drive remains this badge. ASA lists 78 beds — confirm live. Troy is not this house. Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is not this house.
Due process does not wait for a Tennessee rumor
A levy in Glenwood still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Troy, or because a visitor photographed Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as if it were this hall.
Rights from Delight to the Howard line
Equal protection in diamond country. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker in Murfreesboro, Arkansas, and a family in Glenwood hire the same Sheriff. A resident of Nashville, Arkansas, hires Howard’s Sheriff. A resident of Troy hires Pike County, Alabama. A resident of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, hires Rutherford County.
