Pulaski County Weekly Arrest Log
The official sheriff page posts no seven-day, 30-day, or other multi-day arrest list. Neither does the detention site. The county publishes no update schedule. No archive depth or roll-off period is listed either. So any weekly total quoted by an unofficial directory has nothing behind it.
A multi-day search differs from a same-day check. It reaches back over a named date range. It often targets arrests no longer tied to current custody. The person may have posted bond. They may have been released, transferred, or entered another system. A jail-status answer cannot replace the historical arrest record. An old booking entry, in turn, proves nothing about who is still held.
Read Pulaski Arrest Records by Date
Pulaski has no online blotter to page through. Build the request around a precise range, such as a named week. Identify who holds the record. The sheriff keeps arrest reports; the detention center keeps booking, release, and transfer data. A municipal department may hold the initial incident record. Asking the right office first avoids delay and misdirected requests.
- Write down the start and end dates, full legal name if known, arrest location, and likely agency.
- Ask the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office whether it holds the arrest report for that period.
- Ask the Pulaski County Detention Center for booking and custody events tied to the same range.
- Request existing records and an electronic export if one exists. Do not ask staff to invent a weekly report.
- Compare a resulting arrest entry with the Pulaski Circuit Clerk case record for later charges and disposition.
Still inside intake? Use the Daily Arrest Report path. That route confirms current arrests. The weekly route instead preserves a defensible date range.
Note: Search by arrest date and booking date when possible because those events may fall on different days or reporting periods.
Pulaski Arrest Log Entry Fields
With no public Pulaski log, there is no fixed on-screen field set. A focused request can ask for the elements Illinois arrest-information rules document. If one part is withheld, do not stop there. Request the remaining nonexempt portions. Fields vary across police and detention databases.
| Log element | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Name and age | Identity clues that still require careful matching. |
| Arrest date, time, and location | The event details used to place an arrest in the weekly range. |
| Arresting or investigating agency | The office most likely to hold the incident report. |
| Booking number and intake time | Jail processing details that may occur after arrest. |
| Listed charge | An charge entered at that stage. |
| Discharge or transfer date | A custody event, not necessarily the end of the court case. |
| Photograph, when maintained | Release depends on availability and applicable law. |
A weekly log is a run of records. It is not a crime trend. Delayed intake, transfers, and the date basis all shift the count. Pulaski publishes no methodology. So week-to-week totals should never be read as official statistics.
Two Pulaski Arrest Request Routes
Pulaski County splits its FOIA requests across two destinations. The sheriff's PDF sends arrest report requests to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, FOIA Officer, 500 Illinois Avenue, Room A, Mound City, Illinois 62963, with fax (618) 748-9022. The detention-center PDF sends jail requests to the Pulaski County Detention Center FOIA Officer, 20 Justice Drive, Ullin, Illinois 62992, listing email gjones@pulaskicountyil.gov and fax (618) 845-3533.
Pick by record type. The sheriff route fits an agency arrest report. The detention route fits booking records, intake, release or transfer events, and booking images. Unsure who holds it? Ask. Keep the date range narrow and include a return address. Both pages warn that charges may apply, but neither posts a photo price.
500 Illinois Avenue, Room A
Mound City, IL 62963
Fax: (618) 748-9022
Illinois FOIA allows five business days for a response or denial. Extensions are possible. The reply can be authoritative for your dates even without a public blotter. File every piece together. Keep the fee estimate, any denial, exemption citations, and released portions alongside the original request.
Pulaski Arrest News Is Event-Based
The Illinois Newspaper Project lists the Pulaski Enterprise of Mounds as a local title. It is also an archive lead. The paper carries no stable arrest-log page, daily feed, or standing mugshot section. The Pulaski Enterprise catalog record helps identify the publication. Treat it as an archive pointer, not a county roster.
The Pulaski Enterprise catalog page gives newspaper and archive context only. It shows no complete weekly arrest log.
Regional TV covers incidents one at a time. A dated KFVS12 report covered arrests tied to a Pulaski County shooting, citing the sheriff's account. That is event coverage, not a recurring arrest publication.
News items must be searched by event and date. Then verify each against official and court records.
Note: Pulaski Journal results concern Indiana, while many WMOK items concern Massac County; verify Illinois county context before relying on a headline.
Unofficial Pulaski Arrest Listings
Official Pulaski County records come first. Secondhand mugshot aggregators rank far below them. Busted Newspaper's Illinois directory carries no Pulaski County section. Recently Booked lists Illinois counties but leaves Pulaski out. Arrests.org offers no usable local page either, and Mugshots.zone search results point mostly to Pulaski counties in other states. None of these stands in for the county's weekly arrest log.
Mugshots.com does list a Pulaski County, Illinois link on its state page. The link lands on a server or cache error. Its contents, update timing, fields, and photo availability all stay unknown. Commercial sites can sit stale or wrong. Copying names or images from it into an arrest list invites errors, so confirm any claimed arrest through the sheriff, the detention center, or the circuit court.
The Recently Booked Illinois directory shows the state's county list, and Pulaski does not appear on it.
That listing counts only as background on the unofficial landscape, not as an official Pulaski County arrest record.
Pulaski Arrest Archives and Retention
No Pulaski County public page says how long booking logs or booking photos stay online or in storage. Retention here works differently. The Illinois State Archives gives each local agency an approved Application for Authority to Dispose of Local Records. That document controls retention. No record can be destroyed without it. So a request for older material should ask for both the record itself and the retention schedule or disposal certificate for that series.
Recent bookings live with the office that made them. Older government records may have moved. Search the State Archives Local Government Records Database, along with Pulaski's IRAD holdings. The county's archive history carries unusual scars. IRAD's own sources document major record losses from an 1879 fire and damage from the 1937 flood. A missing file proves nothing about the arrest.
Ask plainly whether the material still exists, moved to another system, was transferred to an archive, or was lawfully disposed of. Bound your request to specific dates. "Every arrest record ever created" is a poor request; a precise period and record type finds the right series.
Note: The retention schedule, not a guessed website roll-off period, controls how long a Pulaski County agency must keep a record.
Pulaski Arrest Outcomes Live in Court
An arrest log captures an early stage. A charging decision and a court case may follow. Not every arrest turns into a filed case, though. For what happened next, the Pulaski Circuit Clerk and Judici paths can show a case number, the filed charge, hearings, a sentence, or a disposition where available. Disposition means the court's recorded outcome. It beats an old news report or booking entry for final status.
Match names with dates and case identifiers. An older weekly record cannot tell you who is still in jail. Check current custody separately. For more on booking records and court sources, see the Pulaski County arrest record overview.
