The 2026 oval in Clinton — not Van Buren the city, not Paw Paw, Michigan
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 Van Buren County, Arkansas.
It is not a campaign. Names belong on the official sample ballot. No crown.
This Sheriff is on the 2026 ballot. Arkansas county sheriffs sit on the gubernatorial table.
Clinton hires a Sheriff who still holds Detention Drive

The Governor is 2026. That is not this oval. Nine Justices of the Peace sit — two-year desks, not this oval. A Crawford rumor does not hire this badge. Van Buren the city is Crawford County. Van Buren County, Michigan, is a different state. Little Rock is the capital.
Clerk work splits Main Street and Highway 65 South — not Crawford as this clerk
County Clerk work for Van Buren County, Arkansas, lists at the Highway 65 South annex, Clinton. Circuit Clerk lists at 273 Main Street, Suite 2. That is county clerk work — not Clinton City Hall as this clerk, not a Van Buren-the-city clerk as this clerk, not a Michigan clerk as this clerk. Confirm registration, sample ballot, and absentee on sos.arkansas.gov and voterview.ar-nova.org.
Sample ballot in Van Buren County, Arkansas — not Crawford County, not Michigan
Do not take names from a Van Buren-the-city rumor, a Paw Paw flyer, or a Fairfield Bay municipal card as this oval.
- Official candidate list / sample ballot — Arkansas Secretary of State and the Van Buren County, Arkansas, Clerk
- Voter lookup
- Current Sheriff of record — official Van Buren County, Arkansas, Sheriff listing
If a site and the official sample ballot disagree, the sample ballot wins. Unopposed county nominees sometimes do not reprint on the November card — confirm the Clerk, do not invent a missing race.
What you are hiring — Ozark-foothill remainder patrol and a 52-bed house this Sheriff still holds
You are hiring the Sheriff of Van Buren County, Arkansas — unincorporated patrol across Fairfield Bay remainder, Shirley remainder, Bee Branch, Dennard, and the U.S. 65 roads; warrants; civil process; courthouse security at 273 Main; and detention at 184 Detention Drive. You are not hiring Clinton Police. You are not hiring Crawford County. You are not hiring Van Buren the city. You are not hiring the Governor.
Read the office page for Detention Drive as this jailer, Clinton as the seat, Van Buren the city as Crawford, Little Rock as the capital not this hire, and 4235 Alma Highway as not this house.
Remedy when a writ misses Shirley remainder
A bad service or a paper that missed Bee Branch remainder or Fairfield Bay remainder — this Sheriff’s door and the courts. Nine Justices are not the internal-affairs substitute for a paper. Not a comment section. Not Crawford. Not Little Rock as this oval.
Relief when U.S. 65 ices or Greers Ferry weather sits
Ice toward Bee Branch, a wreck on U.S. 65, fog toward Shirley, high water toward Greers Ferry — this county’s mutual aid first. Faulkner is a different count. Cleburne is a different count. Pope is a different count. Clinton city hall is a different government. Van Buren the city is a different county.
Service — papers, a sandstone docket, a night shift toward Bee Branch
Papers. A Clinton courtroom. Night hours the office actually posts. 911 on an unincorporated foothill road remains this badge. Detention Drive remains this badge. Crawford does not.
Due process does not wait for a Crawford rumor
A levy in unincorporated Van Buren County, Arkansas, still needs notice. Confirmation of sale is still the court. The Constitution does not pause because a visitor photographed Van Buren the city, or because a visitor photographed Paw Paw.
Rights from Fairfield Bay to the Pope line
Equal protection on the foothill map. Counsel. Property. Humane custody. A worker at Detention Drive and a family in Clinton hire the same Sheriff.
