This private reference site is not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.


Reach the Right Office

Mitchell County Sheriff's Office
305 Baker Lane
Bakersville, NC 28705
828-688-3982
Office hours: Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Sheriff page lists no separate records line or public jail roster. Ask the main office for the records custodian and, when custody is involved, the name of the current holding facility. Other questions belong with these sources:

  • For a booking record or releasable photo, use the request steps on the home page and contact the responsible Sheriff or town police custodian.
  • For a just-reported arrest, compare the 24 Hour Arrests fallback with the wider Arrest Log.
  • For release or transfer alerts, use the VINELink Check and verify the actual holding county.
  • For a court date, disposition, or public case file, contact the Mitchell County Clerk of Superior Court at 828-688-5100 or use the official eCourts Portal.
  • For sentenced state custody or supervision, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search.
  • For federal or immigration detention, use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator rather than a county arrest source.
