This small county in south-central Minnesota has an active jail that posts a custody list with booking photos. Gaylord serves as the county seat. If you need to check who has been arrested or look up past booking data, you have several options. The Sheriff's Office keeps all arrest records and mugshots on file.

Sibley County Sheriff's Office

The Sibley County Sheriff handles all arrest records and jail operations. Their office is at 419 Harrison St. in Gaylord, MN 55334. Call (507) 237-4337 to ask about inmates or booking records. Staff can tell you if someone is in custody right now. You can also stop by the office in person if you need copies of records or want to file a formal request.

Every person booked into the Sibley County jail gets a mugshot taken. Staff log the charges, bond amount, and booking date into the system. That data goes up on the custody list quickly.

Sibley County Mugshot Records

Booking photos from the Sibley County jail are public data. Minnesota Statute 13.82, subdivision 26, makes mugshots public. Anyone can request them. You do not need a reason or a relationship to the person. This applies across the state, and Sibley County follows the same rules as every other county.

Arrest data is partly public too. The time, date, and location of an arrest are all open to the public under the same law. Charges and the name of the person arrested are also available. Investigative data tied to open cases stays private until the case closes or goes inactive. If you get turned down, ask which part of the statute applies so you understand what can and cannot be shared.

The roster includes MNI numbers, charges, and bail amounts for each person in custody.

Under Minnesota Statute 13.87, conviction data stays public for 15 years after someone finishes their sentence. Arrest records that did not end in a conviction are generally private. So a mugshot from an arrest might still be out there even if the charges were dropped, but the criminal history record may not be accessible through the BCA system.

Statewide Busted Mugshots Search

If you cannot find what you need at the county level, try the state databases. The Minnesota DOC Public Viewer shows people in state prison or on supervised release. It has photos and offense details. This covers state inmates only, not people in county jails.

The BCA background check system pulls from the state's criminal history database. Run a name search and see conviction records going back 15 years. The BCA also has a free public criminal history search online. These tools work best when you have a full name and date of birth to narrow results.

Expungement can remove records from public view. Under Chapter 609A, certain criminal records can be sealed. If someone has gotten their record expunged, it will not show up in any of these searches. Petty misdemeanors can be expunged after two years. Felonies take longer, typically four to five years with a clean record.
