Search Grant County Busted Mugshots

Grant County busted mugshots are kept at the county jail in Medford, Oklahoma. This is one of the smallest counties in the state with around 4,169 residents as of the 2020 Census. Despite its size, Grant County runs a jail that averages about 39 inmates daily. The jail also takes overflow inmates from larger counties like Garfield. You can search for Grant County arrest records through state databases, the VINE tracking system, and by contacting the sheriff office directly. Here is everything you need to find booking records and mugshots in Grant County.

Grant County Jail and Busted Mugshots

The Grant County Jail is at 219 N 1st Street, Medford, Oklahoma. The sheriff phone number is 580-395-2356. With a population just over 4,000, Grant County might seem too small to have much jail activity. But the average daily inmate count of 39 tells a different story. That number is unusually high for a county this size, and the reason is overflow. Larger counties, especially Garfield County, send inmates to Grant County when their own jails fill up.

This means the Grant County jail holds a mix of local and out-of-county inmates. If you are looking for someone arrested in Garfield County, they might actually be sitting in the Grant County facility. The booking record stays with the arresting county, but the physical location of the inmate can shift around. Call the sheriff at 580-395-2356 to check on specific inmates.

Grant County does not run its own online inmate search. The jail has a limited web presence, and you will need to call or visit for current custody information. Third-party aggregators like Jail Exchange pull some Grant County booking data, but coverage varies. For reliable and up-to-date info, phone the jail directly.

Busted Mugshots and Open Records in Grant County

The Oklahoma Open Records Act (Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1) makes arrest records public in Grant County and across the state. Title 51 O.S. § 24A.8 specifically covers law enforcement records. Agencies must share arrestee names, dates of birth, physical descriptions, arrest facts, and booking logs.
