Scott County Busted Mugshots is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Information on this site and any linked third-party tool may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA.
Accuracy and Currency
Government offices can change details without notice, and a receiving jail roster may update after a booking, release, or transfer. Scott County has no county jail or countywide public roster, so a missing result does not prove that no arrest occurred, and a displayed result does not prove current custody. No promise is made that every detail is current. Call the office before visiting a facility or sending money.
The county directory lists Sheriff Thomas Eddinger at 32 E. Market Street in Winchester, while other source material uses 101 E. Market Street. Verify the mailing address and records route by phone at 217-742-3141 before sending a request.
This Is Not Legal Advice
Nothing on this site is legal advice, and a website cannot replace a licensed attorney. Use an attorney or the appropriate official court source for questions about a charge, a court case, sealing, expungement, or another legal matter.
Third-Party Search Tools
Some pages may include a search box supplied by an outside provider. Scott County Busted Mugshots does not control what that provider returns, what it charges, how it handles submitted data, or whether its service remains available. A result from a third-party tool is not official confirmation of custody, a booking, or a court outcome.
Outbound Links
Links may lead to host-jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff or corrections sites, federal locators, government portals, and other resources. Those destinations control their own content, accuracy, privacy practices, and availability. Scott County Busted Mugshots is not responsible for changes or failures after a reader leaves this site.
No Official Records Are Hosted Here
This site hosts no jail rosters, booking photos, mugshot galleries, arrest records, or court records. It does not rehost booking images. It offers general directions to the offices and locators that may hold a record, rather than an official data store.
For a Scott County arrest, start with the Scott County Sheriff's Office at 217-742-3141 and ask which agency made the arrest and which receiving jail holds the record. Scott County has no county jail. Greene County Jail is at 403 Seventh Street in Carrollton and can be reached through 217-942-6901; Pike County Sheriff can be reached at 217-285-5011; Morgan County Sheriff's Office is at 300 W. Court Street in Jacksonville and can be reached at 217-243-6123. These are host-verification routes, not proof that every Scott booking went to one of them.
For the court case and disposition, contact Circuit Clerk Staci Evans at 35 E. Market Street, Winchester, Illinois 62694, 217-742-5217, or circuitclerk@scottcoil.gov. For a person in state custody, use the Illinois Department of Corrections Individual in Custody Search. Use the appropriate federal or immigration locator for those custody systems. Charges and booking photos describe accusations tied to an arrest or booking, not convictions. Confirm current custody with the Sheriff or host jail, and confirm the final case result with the Circuit Clerk or IDOC as appropriate.
