Public Access to Sequoyah County Arrest Data

Busted mugshots in Sequoyah County are public under the Oklahoma Open Records Act (Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1 et seq.). The law says law enforcement must share the arrestee's name, birth date, address, race, sex, and physical description. Facts about the arrest and the charges are public too. The Attorney General's 2012 opinion (2012 OK AG 22) confirmed that mugshots are physical descriptions under the statute.

There are a few limits. Juvenile records stay sealed. Records connected to active investigations can be held for ten days after arraignment or 120 days if no charges are filed. But the default is open access. If you ask for Sequoyah County busted mugshots in digital form and the sheriff has them stored that way, they must give you a copy.

State registries help too. The Sex Offender Registry and the Mary Rippy Violent Crime Offender Registry (57 O.S. § 593) each cost two dollars through CHIRP.
