Ricky Beckwood Booked Into Phillips County Jail on Rape Charges

Ricky Beckwood was booked into the Hickey Detention Center on March 18, 2026, on rape charges, according to the Phillips County inmate roster and public booking logs. The entry, assigned booking number 26-0013, lists the rape charge twice on the same record.

The Hickey Detention Center, located in Helena, serves as Phillips County's primary jail facility and operates under the authority of the Phillips County Sheriff's Office.

Booking records indicate Beckwood was held on a Phillips County Sheriff's Office hold, with no bond amount listed at the time the records were compiled. A third-party aggregator of public jail data noted that booking information for Beckwood was collected when he was released from Pulaski County on March 18, the same date listed on the Phillips County roster. The concurrent Pulaski County and Phillips County entries suggest Beckwood may have been processed through Pulaski County before Phillips County placed its hold, though the precise sequence of custody transfers had not been confirmed by either sheriff's office as of publication.

No statute numbers, arresting agency details beyond the Sheriff's Office hold notation, or charging documents were available in public booking records. Court filings, including any case number or initial appearance date, had not been confirmed through the Phillips County Circuit Clerk's office. The Phillips County Sheriff's Office can be reached at 870-338-5555 for custody status inquiries.

Beckwood is presumed innocent. Charges may be dropped, modified, or dismissed, and the booking record does not constitute a conviction.
