This is a private reference site, not a Brown County or Schuyler County government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record for those services.
Find the Right Records Office
For a Brown County arrest report, intake record, custody-transfer record, or booking image, start with:
Brown County Sheriff’s Office
200 Court Street, Room 1
Mt. Sterling, IL 62353
217-773-2061, extension 1
sheriff@browncoil.org
No separate records line, public records-counter hours, or booking-photo request hours were published in the county sources reviewed. The Brown County FOIA page is the official starting point for a written request. Call before traveling to the office.
Brown County has no identified jail. For a person received at the documented out-of-county facility, contact:
Schuyler County Sheriff’s Office / Schuyler County Jail
216 West Lafayette Street
Rushville, IL 62681
217-322-4366
sheriff.redshaw@schuylercountyil.gov
Choose the route that fits the question:
- For an arrest record or booking photograph, use the Brown County recent arrests hub and its Illinois FOIA request steps.
- For a warrant or post-release court issue, begin with the warrant and court paths on the home page.
- For a same-day check, consult Arrests Last 24 Hours. For several days of county activity, use the Police Blotter.
- For release or transfer alerts, use VINELink Custody Check and confirm the receiving facility.
- For a sentenced person in Illinois state custody, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search.
- For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
