Court for Highfill

Why the court is not in Highfill

Which judge

The county's administrative plan assigns criminal and traffic cases originating in Highfill to District Judge A.J. Anglin, Division 3.*The plan names Judge Anglin as presiding over every Benton County West docket.

Civil and small claims cases are assigned separately from criminal and traffic ones, so they may be heard by a different judge.

Who prosecutes

Highfill's cases in district court are prosecuted by Williams Law Firm (opens in a new tab).

The prosecutor represents the city, not the person accused and not a victim personally. Felonies, and county and state misdemeanors, are handled by the elected Prosecuting Attorney's office instead — a different role. See who is who in court.
