I got a ticket, what do i need to do?

Traffic tickets in Jackson County can be issued by Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputies, State Troopers, Newport Police Officers, Game & Fish Officers, and Ark. Highway Police Officers. You should first call the phone number on the ticket and see how much the fine will be. If a Newport Police Officer gave you the ticket you will need to call (870) 523-2723. If the ticket was issued by any of the other agencies you will call (870) 523-5842. Once you have determined the amount of the fine you have two options: Come to court on the date listed as your court date on the ticket or, mail the fine amount to the address listed on your ticket prior to the court date. Probation and other questions of the court should be directed to the District Court Clerk by calling (870) 523-9555.
