Official Vinton County Contacts

A Vinton arrest may be housed outside the county at Southeastern Ohio Regional Jail. Start with SEORJ for a physical departure and use the Vinton court that handled the case for the legal order. Ask the Sheriff's Office which office holds a Vinton arrest or booking item when custody is unclear.

Choose the Right Record Office

The requested fact decides which office can answer. Use these routes rather than sending personal case details to this site.

  • For a physical jail departure or transfer, call SEORJ and ask for the release or transfer entry.
  • For a Vinton arrest record or possible booking-photo custodian, contact the Vinton County Sheriff's Office.
  • For misdemeanor release authority or local probation, use Vinton County Court; its online record can lag.
  • For a felony order, state commitment, or judicial release, contact the Common Pleas Clerk.
  • For state-prison status or APA supervision, use ODRC Offender Search; Central Records mail is P.O. Box 430, Columbus, OH 43216.
  • For a federal sentence, use the BOP locator. For federal pretrial custody, the U.S. Marshals Southern District office is at 85 Marconi Boulevard, Room 460, Columbus, OH 43215-2885, telephone 614-469-5540.
  • For an immigration custody event, use the ICE locator and the appropriate ICE contact.

The home page sets out the full released-person search and record-request process. Do not send payment or travel to an office until the current contact and record custodian have been confirmed.
