Centreville Busted Arrest Routes
Centreville sits partly in Wilkinson County and partly in Amite County. The 2020 Census counted 1,258 residents town-wide. That figure spans both counties. Treat it as a town number, not a county one. Population matters less than logistics here. What really counts is which agency made the arrest and who took the person in.
The official Centreville Police Department page names the town force. The Wilkinson County Sheriff is described on its site as the county jailor and keeper of a jail docket. The police department likely holds the municipal incident or arrest report. For anything about a fresh booking, jail-docket entry, custody status, release, transfer, or booking photo, the sheriff is the right first call. No source confirms a city jail, a town roster, or any separate Centreville booking facility. Wilkinson County Jail is the probable destination. Still, the police or the sheriff have to confirm that for each arrest.
So a Centreville arrest can leave two record trails. Ask the police department where the incident report lives. Then ask the sheriff whether the person actually reached the county jail. If someone was released or moved, get the date and the name of the office that holds the record now. An empty online search proves nothing about whether an arrest happened.
Where Centreville Busted Mugshots Appear
Start with official sources. Neither Centreville nor the sheriff publishes a verified public arrest log. There is no searchable county roster either. The town's police page offers contact details and municipal information, nothing more. You will not find a daily blotter, a bookings feed, a photo policy, a request form, or a fee schedule there. The sheriff's page confirms a jail docket exists. But it gives no public search tool, no photo display, no update times, and no Centreville booking archive.
| Channel | Photo status | Official? | What it can confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centreville Police Department | Not published online | Yes | Ask for the Centreville arrest-report custodian and whether a written request is needed. |
| Wilkinson County Sheriff | No online policy located | Yes | Ask about Centreville county custody, the jail docket, release or transfer, and any releasable booking image. |
| Wilkinson County Courts | Not a photo source | Yes | Route a Centreville initial appearance, case number, or later disposition to the right clerk. |
| MDOC offender search | Not promised on every profile | Yes | State-sentenced or state-managed custody, not a fresh Centreville booking. |
| WBRZ and WLBT | Varies by story | No | Selective Centreville or county reporting, never a complete city booking register. |
| Mugshots.com county section | Unofficial, availability unconfirmed | No | A county-level aggregator that may include or omit Centreville incidents and cannot establish current custody. |
What about third-party sites? No confirmed Centreville section exists on Busted Newspaper, RecentlyBooked, Arrests.org, or Mugshots.zone. A page covering another Wilkinson County town or another state is not Centreville coverage. The headline does not change that. Regional news stories and county-wide aggregators can help, but only after you check the official offices. Those sources may be old, selective, or missing how the case ended in court.
Note: The Town of Centreville's email and SMS alerts are general municipal notices, not a booking-photo or arrest notification service.
Busted in Centreville Booking Lookup
A smart Centreville lookup follows the record from the arresting agency to whoever holds custody. There is no verified city feed to search. No official county feed covers the last 24 hours, 48 hours, or longer either. So skip the guesswork. A phone call to the sheriff or a short written request beats trusting an unverified online result. For the county-wide roster, feeds, court records, and state custody, see the Wilkinson County booking-record reference.
- Call Centreville Police at 601-645-5917 and provide the name and approximate arrest date. Ask whether Centreville Police made the arrest and which office holds the Centreville incident report.
- Call the Wilkinson County Sheriff at 601-888-3511. Ask whether the person is in county custody, has bonded out, was transferred, or was booked after a Centreville arrest by an outside agency.
- Ask whether the sheriff will provide a current Centreville jail-docket check, a bounded booking-record copy, or a booking image if maintained and releasable. Ask who the records custodian is if the answer requires a written request.
- For a Centreville affidavit, initial appearance, case number, or disposition, use the county court route. Justice Court is an intake-stage source, while the Circuit Clerk can help trace later criminal filings.
- Use MDOC only after state custody or a state sentence is involved. A newly arrested or released Centreville person will not automatically appear there.
One phone call to the right custodian can tell you whether someone is booked, held in county custody, released, bonded out, or transferred. For anything that happened after the original Centreville charge, the court file is the source that matters.
Centreville Police Record Requests
The town posts no records form, fee schedule, or turnaround promise on its police page. Send a narrow request to the department for the incident or arrest report. Then ask the sheriff, separately, for the county booking, jail-docket, custody, release, or photo record. Each custodian holds only its own material. A police report may not include a booking photo, and a sheriff file may lack the officer's narrative. The official Centreville Police Department page provides the municipal contact details.
The municipal page supports the current Town Hall route for reaching Centreville police. It offers no booking search, arrest log, or county custody results.
Town Hall
1 Municipal Drive
Centreville, MS 39631
Phone: 601-645-5917
Chief listed by the town: LaShanda Grayson
Emergency: 911
The department moved. Centreville police relocated to Town Hall effective February 28, 2020. Municipal Court began operating there on March 2, 2020. Use the Town Hall address, not an older station location. Call ahead to confirm the current records custodian and the best way to deliver a request.
- State the full name, approximate Centreville arrest date, and known arresting agency.
- Identify the requested Centreville record precisely, such as the incident report, arrest report, jail-docket entry, booking date and time, charges as entered, bond information, release or transfer information, or booking image if maintained and releasable.
- Ask whether a written Mississippi Public Records Act request is required and whether Centreville Police or the sheriff is the custodian.
- Request an estimated copying, search, or review cost before a broad request, and ask for the written legal basis if material is withheld or redacted.
Photographs count as public records. The Mississippi Public Records Act information places them inside that broad definition. Still, exemptions apply. Redactions and protected records can keep an image or investigative attachment from being released. A proper request does not guarantee you receive every photo.
Centreville Town Hall Court Routing
Centreville Town Hall serves one narrow purpose here. It houses the official police contact and the municipal court notice. It is not the county jail. It is also not the county records office. Split your calls accordingly. Municipal report questions go to Centreville Police, while custody or booking-photo questions belong with the sheriff's office as well. County felony cases follow a two-stage path. Justice Court handles the initial appearance and the affidavit stage. Jail sessions run three times a week. That means an arrested person sees a judge within three days. The schedule tells you when court happens, not when anything appears online. Once a case moves forward, the Circuit Clerk files the criminal Circuit matters and records the judgments. Ask for the case number, then check the disposition to see whether the charge was dismissed, reduced, resolved by plea, acquitted, or handled some other way. Court records fill in what a booking entry leaves out.
Centreville Booking and MDOC Custody
Two Wilkinson County facilities share a confusing naming pattern. The Wilkinson County Jail is the local place to check on a Centreville arrest. The sheriff's office runs it. Wilkinson County Correctional Facility is something else entirely. That private prison sits at 2999 US Highway 61 North in Woodville, under MDOC oversight. It has no connection to a fresh Centreville arrest roster. The state MDOC search works after someone enters state custody or carries a state sentence. It takes a first name, a last name, or an MDOC number. It will not reliably show a new county booking. Nor will it show someone awaiting trial or someone who made bond. Federal and immigration custody stay out of view too. The state prison sitting inside Wilkinson County proves nothing about where a Centreville arrest landed. If the sheriff or a court confirms an MDOC transfer, the state system can trace that portion of the record. For a police report or a new county booking, go back to Centreville Police or the sheriff. Each office keeps its own piece of the trail.
Centreville Busted Arrest News
No local mugshot section exists for Centreville. What turns up instead is regional news coverage. WBRZ's arrest coverage and WLBT sometimes report Wilkinson County arrests or multi-agency operations. These are event-driven stories, not booking lists. An arrest that never makes the news still happened. The Woodville Republican is the county's newspaper. The Library of Congress record for the Woodville Republican documents its history and archive path. That archive is for research, not for checking current jail entries. A dated news photo never replaces a custodian's official record. County-level Mugshots.com listings sit in the same secondary bucket. That site may keep or drop information. It is not a live official system. For anything dated, start with the arresting agency, the sheriff, and the court. Mugshots in the News covers how local media handle these images more broadly.
Centreville Arrests and Court Records
A booking is only the start of the record. The typical path runs from arrest to county booking, then bond or detention review, a Justice Court initial appearance, and later court activity. Release from jail says nothing about the charge itself. Neither does continued detention. Until a court confirms the final status, the right words are arrested, booked, accused, or charged at booking. For a later case record, call the Circuit Clerk at 601-888-6697 or the Justice Court Clerk at 601-888-3538. Have the full name ready, plus the approximate arrest date, the arresting agency, and any booking or affidavit number. Ask which court holds the case and how to get the disposition. When a record is sealed or expunged, the court and the originating agency handle corrections on their own terms. Note: Youth Court and juvenile law-enforcement records carry confidentiality limits, so ask the lawful custodian rather than assuming adult booking rules apply.
