Bryan County Mugshots and Public Records Law
The Oklahoma VINE system covers Bryan County. Search by name. Get alerts by phone, email, or text when custody status changes. The toll-free number is 877-654-8463. VINE is free and runs all day.
Under the Oklahoma Open Records Act (Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq.), busted mugshots are public records. Section 24A.8 requires law enforcement to share arrestee descriptions, arrest facts, and jail registers. The 2012 AG opinion (2012 OK AG 22) said mugshots are a physical description and must be shared in digital form if kept that way. Juvenile records are sealed. Ongoing investigation records can be withheld until ten days after arraignment or 120 days without charges. But the default is that Bryan County busted mugshots are open to anyone.
The Sex Offender Registry and the Mary Rippy Violent Crime Offender Registry (57 O.S. § 593) cost two dollars each through CHIRP. The Meth Registry needs a name and date of birth through the Bureau of Narcotics. Expungement under Title 22 O.S. § 18 and § 19 can seal a record if the court approves it. Once sealed, that busted mugshot will not show up in any public system.
