Stephens County Busted Mugshots Overview
Stephens County Sheriff and Booking Records
The Stephens County Sheriff's Office runs law enforcement and the county detention center in Duncan. All local arrests get processed through this facility. Booking records include the person's full name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, booking date, and mugshot. The sheriff's website has an inmate search tool that shows who is in custody right now.
The Stephens County Detention Center handles both pretrial detainees and people serving short sentences. When you search the inmate roster, you see each person's charges and bond info. The sheriff's site also lists sheriff sale information for court-ordered property sales, though that is separate from the jail system. Under Title 51 O.S. § 24A.8, all booking data at the Stephens County jail is a public record. Mugshots taken at intake fall under this same rule.
