Arrest Records in Campbell County
Campbell County arrest records are split among at least four official owners. The arresting agency keeps its incident and arrest report. The Campbell County Sheriff's Office and jail hold booking and custody information. The Circuit Court Clerk holds the criminal case after charges are filed. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation maintains a statewide history built from fingerprint-supported arrest submissions and reported court outcomes.
Arrests may be made by Campbell County deputies, La Follette, Jacksboro, Caryville, or Jellico police, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, or another agency acting within its authority. The agency name on a report or booking sheet is the best routing clue. A Campbell County arrest entry documents law-enforcement action and intake, not guilt, and its listed charge may later be declined, reduced, dismissed, or replaced.
No Campbell County Jail Roster
No county-owned public inmate roster or daily booking search could be verified. The official Campbell County sheriff page does not publish a separate jail line, roster link, booking log, or app-only inmate search. For current Campbell County custody, call the verified sheriff non-emergency number and provide the full name plus an approximate arrest date. Ask for the booking number, admission date, public charge and bond information, and current custody or release status.
A formal request is the fallback when routine confirmation is not enough. The Campbell County Open Records coordinators accept oral and written requests. Inspection requests may be emailed to cctnhistoricalsoc@gmail.com, while Form 1 may be delivered at 235 East Central Avenue in La Follette or mailed to P.O. Box 111, Jacksboro, TN 37757.

Free inspection is available under the county's public-records policy and forms. Copies, labor, review, and redaction may produce charges, so request a written estimate first.
Campbell County Arrest Lookups
A complete Campbell County arrest lookup uses the source closest to the event, then checks the later court result. A new booking can exist before a court case appears. A TBI entry can also lag if the disposition has not been linked to the fingerprint arrest cycle. Use all relevant channels instead of treating one no-result as conclusive.
- Call the Campbell County Sheriff's Office at 423-562-7446 for recent booking and custody confirmation because no verified public jail roster exists.
- Request the arrest report from the agency that made the arrest. Use the sheriff for a deputy arrest and the appropriate city police records custodian for a municipal arrest.
- Check General Sessions and Criminal Court through the Circuit Court Clerk at 423-562-2624 for filed charges, docket activity, and disposition.
- Use TBI TORIS for its statewide, name-based Tennessee history product, not as a same-day booking log.
- Submit the county public-records Form 1 when a routine sheriff response does not supply the releasable booking or arrest record needed.
- Use custody-notification services as a supplement and TDOC FOIL only when state correctional custody or supervision becomes relevant.
For a common name, add an arrest date, incident number, booking number, arresting agency, or court case number. Do not publish protected personal identifiers in a broad request.
Campbell County Arrest Agency Routes
The arresting agency holds the narrative and probable-cause material. The sheriff keeps the booking. That split is especially important when city police deliver a person to the county jail. La Follette Police maintains arrest, traffic-accident, citation, and crime-incident reports at 215 South Tennessee Avenue. Its records-copy window is Monday from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
| Agency | Official route | Record scope |
|---|---|---|
| Campbell County Sheriff | 610 Main Street; 423-562-7446; county Form 1 fallback | Deputy arrest reports, bookings, jail custody, warrant service |
| La Follette Police | 215 S. Tennessee Avenue; 423-562-8331 | City arrest and incident reports; local arrest check |
| Jacksboro Police | 585 Main Street; 423-562-9312 | City police records; municipal court route for city cases |
| Caryville Police | 4839 Old Highway 63; 423-562-9478 | City police records; town clerk routes requests |
| Tennessee Highway Patrol | Tennessee Department of Safety records channel | State-highway enforcement and related reports |
Jellico police records also remain with that city's custodian, while its municipal clerk at 423-784-3798 can route city-court matters.
Arrest Records: What They Contain
A Campbell County arrest report may identify the incident, agency, date, location, alleged offense, officer, warrant or citation, and probable-cause narrative. A booking record adds intake and custody fields. Neither record provides the same proof as the court's signed judgment. Victim, witness, juvenile, medical, security, and other protected information may be withheld or redacted.
| Booking number | A jail intake identifier used to locate the custody event. |
|---|---|
| Booking date and time | When the person was admitted, with release or transfer timing when public. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, city police, state patrol, or other agency that made the arrest. |
| Charges | Alleged offenses recorded at intake; these may later change in court. |
| Bond | Amount, type, hold, or issuing-court information recorded by charge. |
| Booking photograph | May exist in the intake file; release requires custodian review. No public county gallery was verified. |
| Release status | Current custody, release, or transfer information available at the time of inquiry. |
Ask for the booking sheet and agency report separately when both are needed. One does not automatically include the other.
La Follette Campbell County Arrest Check
La Follette offers an $8 local-only arrest-record check in person with valid photo identification. It is a narrow city product. It does not certify arrests by Campbell County deputies, other city departments, federal agencies, or every Tennessee law-enforcement agency. It also does not replace the court record needed to learn how a charge ended.
The official La Follette Police Records Division page supplies the service, hours, and report categories. Its captured screen appears below.
Bring the date and type of event, location, report or arrest identifier when known, and valid photo ID. Call 423-562-8331 before travel if access that day is important.
Recent Campbell County Bookings
Because Campbell County publishes no verified official daily arrest log or public roster, recent booking checks rely on the sheriff's phone and records channels. Ask whether the person is now held, released, or transferred, and note the time of the response. Custody can change soon after a bond is posted or a court enters a release order.
VINE or VINELink may provide custody-status alerts where coverage is available, but it is a notification tool rather than a full arrest archive. It does not replace the arresting agency report or the clerk's charge and disposition. The Tennessee Department of Correction's January 2025 jail summary counted 191 people in Campbell County's jail against a rated capacity of 322. That is a one-month facility snapshot, not an annual booking count and not a list of arrestees.
Note: Absence from current custody does not show whether a past Campbell County arrest occurred or how its charge ended.
Campbell County Arrest Record Flow
A recent Campbell County arrest generates several records at different times. The arresting officer creates the report. Jail staff create the booking and custody entry. The prosecutor and clerk create or maintain the court case once a charge is filed. Qualifying fingerprint-supported arrest data and later disposition reports flow to TBI.
Record flow: Agency Arrest Report › Campbell County Booking › Court Filing › Disposition › TBI Update
If no court case appears just after an arrest, confirm the booking first and ask the clerk when to check again. Once a docket exists, the Campbell County court case lookup can show the complaint, hearings, disposition, and sentence. If a TBI record later omits the final result, obtain a certified clerk order and use it in the official correction process.
Campbell Arrests and TDOC FOIL
TDOC's Felony Offender Information Lookup is not a Campbell County jail roster. It becomes relevant after a person enters Tennessee state correctional custody or supervision. FOIL may show status, location, offense, sentence, release information, or parole-related data for a felony offender. It will not reliably answer whether someone was booked in Jacksboro today or whether a local misdemeanor arrest occurred.
The official TDOC FOIL search provides the live state-offender route. Its captured search interface appears below.
Compare a FOIL result with the Campbell County sentencing judgment. State custody status and the local court's legal findings answer different questions.
Arrest Records vs Conviction Records
Campbell County arrest and conviction records come from different events and custodians. An arrest shows that legal process and custody occurred. A conviction requires a court finding or guilty plea followed by adjudication. Even when TBI links both events in one history, the original booking and signed judgment remain separate source records.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | Arresting agency and Campbell County jail | General Sessions or Criminal Court |
| Meaning | Documents arrest and booking based on an allegation | Documents guilt through plea, verdict, and adjudication |
| Main source | Sheriff, jail, or city police custodian | Circuit Court Clerk and reported TBI history |
| Possible outcome | Release, no filed charge, dismissal, or later prosecution | Sentence, appeal, diversion outcome, or qualifying expungement |
Note: A Campbell County arrest is not proof of guilt, and every listed charge must be checked against the final court disposition.
