Arrest History in Ochiltree County
An Ochiltree County arrest can begin with the Sheriff, Perryton Police, the county Constable, or Texas DPS. The arresting agency owns its incident or arrest report. If the person is booked locally, the Sheriff and jail create a second record for custody, charges, holds, bond, and release status. A magistrate adds warnings, probable-cause, and bond records. If a prosecutor files a case, the correct court clerk then creates a separate prosecution file.
Those sources answer different questions. The booking roster is strongest for a new arrest or current jail status. The agency report gives the event narrative, subject to lawful redaction. The court file shows what was actually charged and decided. DPS aggregates reported Texas public convictions and deferred adjudications rather than serving as a live Ochiltree County arrest blotter.
Ochiltree County Sheriff Arrest Records
The county publishes no separately branded records division. Arrest, booking, jail, warrant, or Sheriff incident requests should go to the Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office and ask for the custodian of that exact record. A narrow request should state the date or date range, place, arresting agency, incident or case number if known, and the preferred format.
The official Ochiltree County Sheriff page pictured below is the main local access point and links the jail roster.
The page supplies the office address and phone but no report fee, records email, or fax. Call before sending a request through an unlisted channel.

Ask for the custodian of the arrest, booking, jail, warrant, or incident record.
How to Look Up Ochiltree County Arrests
Use a layered search because no one source holds the whole Ochiltree County arrest history. The roster leads for recency, then agency, clerk, and state channels fill in what happened before and after booking.
- Open the Sheriff-linked InterOp roster. Choose 24 Hours Arrests for the newest bookings or Current Inmates for present custody.
- Use the optional name filter. Read status, arrest date, agency, charge rows, warrant field, time jailed, and bond.
- Call the Sheriff at (806) 435-8000 for a historical booking that has rolled off. Request the incident report from the actual arresting agency.
- After filing, search the District Clerk for a felony, County Clerk for a misdemeanor, or the issuing justice or municipal court for a fine-only matter.
- Use the Texas DPS public CCH for reported statewide conviction and deferred-adjudication data. It is not a current arrest log.
- When online sources fail, file a focused Texas Public Information Act request for an existing arrest, booking, or report record.
No official Ochiltree Sheriff or Perryton Police mobile app was found in the research. There is no documented app-only arrest search to add to this channel list.
Who Owns Ochiltree County Arrest Reports
A Sheriff's booking record is not a universal police report. Perryton Police keeps reports for city incidents and arrests at 21 SE 5th Avenue, with its published line at (806) 435-4002. A written city fallback can go through the City Secretary. Sheriff reports remain with the county office at 511 S. Ash. Constable records must be requested from that county office, while a Texas Highway Patrol arrest report follows the DPS public-information channel.
The jail can still show a booking made by another agency because county staff handle local intake. Ask the booking record which agency made the arrest, then direct the narrative report request to that agency. For Perryton Police, supply the incident number, date, time, location, and desired electronic or paper format. No dedicated Perryton report portal or local base fee was published.
Note: A jail booking and an arresting agency's incident report are separate Ochiltree County arrest records with different custodians.
What an Arrest Record Shows
The public Ochiltree roster displays a practical set of booking fields, but it does not show every detail found in the underlying jail file. No identifying values from a private person's record are reproduced here. The inventory describes fields only.
| Name and status | Name is shown surname-first, with CURRENTLY BOOKED or RELEASED status. |
|---|---|
| Descriptors | Sex, age, race, and address may appear. |
| Arrest details | Arrest date and arresting agency identify the custody event. |
| Time and bond | Days in jail and total bond may appear; bond can state NOT SET. |
| Charge rows | Warrant number, counts, statute, description, M/F column, and charge bond. |
| Booking image | An image area appears, but the county does not promise a photo on every entry. |
| Fields not observed | No booking number or time, DOB, cell, court date, attorney, sentence, or detailed release date was observed. |
Bond can be numeric, zero, blank, not set, or redacted. None of those labels alone guarantees release. Another hold, court order, or condition may control, so verify the full status with the Sheriff.
Ochiltree County Arrest Booking Facility
Ochiltree County operates one 48-bed jail and justice center completed in 2020. It replaced an older rated capacity of 32 beds, an increase of half. The county does not publish a separate modern jail street address, so use the Sheriff's official 511 S. Ash address and call before mailing anything or attempting a visit.
Booking staff establish identity, enter charges and holds, photograph and fingerprint the person, perform intake screening, and create the roster entry. Texas law requires magistration without unnecessary delay and generally within 48 hours. The local Justice of the Peace page says remote magistrations occur as needed each day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. At that point, judicial probable-cause, warning, and bond records begin to exist even if no prosecutor-filed case is online yet.
Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
The Sheriff-linked Ochiltree inmate roster offers Current Inmates, 24 Hours Arrests, and Inmates by Arrest Date. It also provides an optional Filter By Inmate Name box, a Search Inmates button, and page controls. The official system is the county's best first stop for a very recent arrest. No login, fee, export, booking-number search, DOB search, or maintenance schedule is posted.
The roster is not a permanent arrest-history archive. A released person may leave the current list, and the recent view has a short window. Absence does not prove that no arrest occurred. Ask the Sheriff for a historical booking by date and arresting agency when the listing is gone. Do not treat roster charges as the final filed charges because prosecutor review may change or reject them.
The public entry can show more than one charge on separate rows. A warrant number may be blank, while total or charge-level bond may be numeric, zero, blank, not set, or redacted. Read the status and all charge rows together. Then call the Sheriff if a hold, release condition, or bond result remains unclear.
Note: The official roster describes recent custody, not a complete lifetime Ochiltree County arrest history or proof of guilt.
Request Older Ochiltree County Arrest Records
The Texas Public Information Act provides the written fallback for an arrest record no longer online. Government Code Section 552.221 calls for prompt production of available public information. The often-cited ten-business-day period chiefly concerns an agency seeking an Attorney General decision to withhold information. It is not a promise that every request will be completed in ten days.
The official law text pictured below helps separate the statutory access right from a made-up local turnaround guarantee.
Ask for a redacted releasable copy if an active-investigation claim or protected victim, juvenile, medical, driver, account, or identity data prevents full release. The county form seeks the requester's name and contact details, a clear record description, desired delivery or inspection method, date, and signature. No Sheriff report fee was found in the official sources.
Ochiltree County Arrests After Transfer
A local roster stops being the right source after a sentenced person enters state custody. The TDCJ Online Inmate Search accepts a TDCJ number or SID number, or first and last name. Results can show state status, unit or location, projected release data, and parole-review information.
The TDCJ form is not a county pretrial roster. Use it only when state custody or post-sentence status is the question.
Federal custody is separate again. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator shown below covers federal prisoners and does not list Ochiltree County jail detainees or Texas state prisoners.
Match the custody system to the sentence and agency. A county booking, TDCJ record, and BOP record are not interchangeable.
Ochiltree County Arrest Reporting Gaps
Many Class B-and-higher fingerprinted arrests are reported to Texas DPS. The arresting agency submits the arrest cycle, then prosecutors and clerks send later actions and dispositions. Timing and completeness matter. Official Ochiltree data showed adult disposition completeness of 98% for 2020, 98% for 2021, 95% for 2022, 88% for 2023, and 84% for 2024. The five-year total was 94%.
A missing DPS disposition can therefore be a reporting gap, not proof that nothing happened. Obtain the certified court disposition from the proper clerk and use it when asking the reporting agency or DPS to correct the record. Fingerprints are the sound identity match for a review of one's own record. A public name search can join or miss people with similar identifiers.
The reporting chain also explains why the same Ochiltree County arrest can look different across systems. Jail staff report the booking event, the prosecutor reports whether and what to file, and the clerk reports the disposition. A search during that sequence may show the arrest without the outcome. Recheck the local case file before drawing a conclusion from an incomplete statewide cycle.
Arrests vs Convictions
An Ochiltree County arrest entry proves that a custody event was recorded. It does not prove guilt. Only a court can enter a conviction, and a booking charge may differ from the charge a prosecutor files. The Ochiltree County criminal court case file supplies the docket, plea, disposition, judgment, and sentence that the roster lacks.
| Point | Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|---|
| Created by | Arresting agency and county jail | Court and its clerk |
| Shows | Arrest, booking, initial charges, custody, and bond | A judgment of guilt and the court's sentence |
| Local source | Sheriff roster, booking file, or agency report | District, county, justice, or municipal clerk |
| Possible result | Release, no filing, or later court action | Sentence, appeal, or later restriction by lawful order |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and a booking may lead to no filed charge, dismissal, or acquittal.
