Locate Mound City Arrests

Mound City Arrest Record Path

No single Mound City record tells the whole story. The city police hold their incident and arrest reports. The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office keeps any document its deputies generate. The Pulaski County Detention Center sits in Ullin. It maintains booking records for the people it accepts into custody. Charges, if filed, create a case record with the prosecutor and the circuit clerk. A wise lookup follows that chain from street to courtroom. One jail entry should not settle everything.

The town had 526 residents in the official 2020 Census table and ranks second among the cities chosen for this map. Per the Illinois State Archives, it has served as county seat since 1865. The courthouse and sheriff sit at 500 Illinois Avenue, while the detention center operates from 20 Justice Drive in Ullin. That split shapes every arrest-record search here.

Where Mound City Arrests Appear

Mound City police publish no log. There is no same-day bulletin or booking photo feed either. The sheriff and detention pages expose no individual roster. FOIA requests and direct contact lead the way. Court files come next, and news reports serve only as leads.

The official sheriff page names the office but offers no roster. The detention page covers the Ullin facility's role and contact details rather than any searchable list.

Arrested in Mound City

Begin with the event itself, not a commercial name search. Note the full name, the date, the location, and the likely arresting agency. The Daily Arrest Report covers same-day checking when no official feed exists, and the Weekly Arrest Log handles requests spanning a longer period.

1. Ask whether Mound City Police, the sheriff, or another agency made the arrest.
2. Contact the detention center for current county custody; do not assume the courthouse address is the jail.
3. Request the agency report from the arresting office and the booking record from the jail when both are needed.
4. Use the circuit clerk or Judici after a case is filed.
5. Check VINELink Inmate Check as a supplemental statewide route, then verify Pulaski participation and status directly.

A missing roster result proves little on its own. Someone arrested may have been cited, released, transferred, or never booked into the county jail at all. The county-wide recent-arrest hub sorts booking, release, court, state prison, and federal custody into separate lanes.

Mound City Police Records

Two dated directory sources clash on the police number. A Southern Seven guide lists (618) 748-9226. An older Illinois Commerce Commission 911 document gives 204 Main Street and (618) 748-9112. Neither doubles as an arrest-log page. Confirm the current records number before relying on one. The city publishes no FOIA form, fee schedule, retention term, or photo rule.

Put every records request in writing. Identify the person, the date range, the location, and the documents that exist and that you want. Ask police for the incident or arrest report. If county detention took the person in, request the booking record and photograph separately from the jail, since a booking photo may not exist or may not be releasable. Illinois 5 ILCS 140/3 gives a public body five business days to respond or deny, with extensions allowed, so do not expect instant delivery.

Ask for records, not conclusions. Strong requests name the arresting agency, the arrest time and place, the booking time, the booking number, the listed charges, and any release or transfer event on file. Request a booking photograph expressly if you want one. An agency may withhold material under an exception, but it should cite that exemption and release the non-exempt portions rather than closing the whole file.

The sheriff keeps a separate paper trail. Send sheriff requests to the FOIA Officer, Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, 500 Illinois Avenue, Room A, Mound City, Illinois 62963; the sheriff PDF lists fax (618) 748-9022. Jail requests travel to Ullin, where the email gjones@pulaskicountyil.gov may work. Two offices, two destinations, one county.

Mound City Arrest News

Local news can still document a specific arrest. A 2018 KFVS12 report covered arrests tied to a shooting at Market Square Apartments in Mound City. Details came from the sheriff. The story itself shows what event-specific Mound City reporting looks like. It is no live blotter, though.

Other leads fade fast. The Pulaski Enterprise offers archival value but no stable current arrest log. Commercial sites disappoint. Mugshots.com lists Pulaski County, yet its local page errors out; RecentlyBooked and Busted Newspaper carry no confirmed Pulaski County, Illinois sections; Arrests.org and Mugshots.zone yield nothing usable. A vendor result may be stale, duplicated, or pulled from another state.

Read that KFVS12 piece with its 2018 date in mind. It shows an arrest event, not present custody or any court outcome.

County Seat Arrest Follow-Through

Booking is only the start in Mound City. After an arrest, the paperwork moves downtown. Two offices at 500 Illinois Avenue handle what happens next. The Pulaski Circuit Clerk works out of Room C. Doors open weekdays at 8 a.m. and close at 4 p.m., with a noon-to-1 p.m. break. The Illinois Courts directory lists the courthouse phone as (618) 748-9300. It sits in the First Judicial Circuit. Once charges are filed, court records become the place to track hearings and outcomes.

The clerk's site also promotes an OCV application. That tool handles court communications. It is not a jail roster, a sheriff app, or a booking-photo feed. Judici runs separately from the court and may carry information from participating courts. Pick Pulaski County with care. Then ask the clerk for a certified copy or for help with a case that is hard to find.

One street address, two different offices. The sheriff's FOIA desk sits in Room A; the circuit clerk sits in Room C. A police narrative request does not turn into a court request. Filing a case does not change that. Nor can the clerk tell you whether someone is still in the Ullin jail. Take each question to the office that created or keeps the record in question.

Arrest report

Mound City Arrest Accuracy

Careful wording keeps Mound City arrest records honest. Say "reported arrest" or "listed charge," and note the source and when you retrieved it. Booking data shifts after a release or a transfer. A prosecutor can drop or change charges. A filed case may end in dismissal, acquittal, plea, or conviction. For the outcome itself, the court disposition is the proper source.

Juvenile and sealed material calls for extra care. An old news account may no longer tell the whole story. For corrections or sealing questions, start with the agency holding the source record. Also contact the circuit clerk. Illinois Courts posts statewide expungement and sealing forms, though eligibility depends on the case and its disposition.

For a sheriff-held record, the published FOIA address is Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, FOIA Officer, 500 Illinois Avenue, Room A, Mound City, IL 62963. The fax is (618) 748-9022. For a jail-held item, write to the detention FOIA officer in Ullin. A focused request can cover the arresting agency. It can also cover arrest and intake times, booking number, listed charges, and any release or transfer event. Ask both offices for the same bulk of material. You may slow things down while losing track of which source supplied which fact.
