Statutory Penalties Fines in Arkansas

Under Arkansas law, statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses are determined by Ark. Code Ann. § 5-4-201. That statute establishes the schedule of fines a court may impose upon conviction, setting both minimum and maximum amounts based on the classification of the offense. The law also provides for additional assessments and allows the court to consider factors such as the defendant’s ability to pay and the nature of the crime. Exceptions and adjustments to the standard fine amounts are detailed within the same code section. The worked example below illustrates how the statute applies in a typical scenario. For an estimate tailored to a specific case, the DocketMath calculator incorporates the full statutory framework.
