Tylertown Busted Mugshots and Custody
Tylertown is the Walthall County seat, and it is the county's only incorporated city. Two agencies serve it: the Tylertown Police Department and the Walthall County Sheriff's Office. A city officer can make the arrest, but the Walthall County Detention Center builds and keeps the booking entry. There is no separate city mugshot gallery or police blotter, so the sheriff's detention roster is the dependable photo source for a Tylertown bust. The official roster chooser splits its views between Current Inmates and a 48 Hour Release list. You can search the current roster by first or last name, sort by date, and open individual profiles. Each card may show a photo, booking number, booking date and time, charges, bond details, and a profile link. Grab the booking number when you see it. Paired with a name, it is a far better key than a name alone.
A Tylertown booking entry simply reflects custody status at the detention center on a given day.
Where Tylertown Busted Mugshots Appear
Start wherever the current custody data actually lives. The city police directory gives a records contact, but no official daily arrest roster, booking-photo page, city app, or public blotter exists for Tylertown. The sheriff's current and release pages each cover a different custody state. News outlets and private indexes can surface older reporting, though neither can tell you whether someone is still in jail.
| Channel | Photo or record | Source status | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walthall current roster | Booking photo and custody fields may appear | Official | Check a person currently shown at the detention center. |
| 48 Hour Release | Photo, booking, release, and bond fields may appear | Official | Check a person no longer in the current list. |
| Tylertown Police directory | Police contact information | Official-contact lead | Ask which office holds a city incident report. |
| Tylertown Times | Selective incident reporting | News | Read dated local context, then confirm current status officially. |
| Busted Newspaper Walthall section | Copied historical booking entries may appear | Unofficial | Use only as a lead and verify name, date, and booking number. |
| RecentlyBooked Walthall section | Rolling arrest entries may appear | Unofficial | Do not treat its changing window as the sheriff’s roster. |
Treat private listings as background material. They lag behind releases, repeat stale charges, and sometimes mix up people with similar names. For current local custody, the sheriff roster comes first. A court record is the better source for what became of a charge afterward.
Note: The sheriff describes roster information as a convenience and does not certify its accuracy or authenticity, so record the date of every search.
Busted in Tylertown: Find a Booking
A careful lookup follows the record as it moves. Begin at the detention center, then pull the city incident report apart from the custody file. The county-wide roster, feed, and records process get a fuller walkthrough on the Walthall County booking-record lookup page.
- Open the sheriff’s roster chooser and select Current Inmates when the person may still be at the Walthall County Detention Center.
- Search the name, try the date sort, and open the profile. Save the booking number, booking date, arresting agency, and exact charge text displayed by the agency.
- If the person is not current, check the separate 48 Hour Release view. It is a short recent-release window, not a permanent archive.
- For the city incident itself, contact Tylertown Police with the incident date and report number if known. Ask the sheriff for a booking sheet or photograph maintained by the detention center.
- For the later case result, ask Justice Court or the Circuit Clerk for the case number and disposition rather than guessing from the roster.
Current custody, a recent release, and a later state-prison placement are three different situations. The local roster covers detention-center entries only. Once a person transfers into Mississippi Department of Corrections custody, switch to the MDOC offender search. That tool tracks state inmates, not live Tylertown bookings.
Tylertown Police Records and Booking
For an incident report tied to a city officer, the Tylertown Police Department is the right first call. The detention center likely holds any booking photograph and jail record. The city publishes no records form, fee schedule, or response deadline. Keep any request tight: name the person, the incident or booking date, the agency, and the specific non-exempt record you want.
Tylertown Police Department
Chief Jordan Hill
433 Beulah Avenue
Tylertown, MS 39667
Phone: 601-876-4440
Fax: 601-876-9114
Emergency: 911
The published Tylertown Police directory entry is a contact lead, not an online arrest archive. It simply reflects what the county directory lists for the department. Nothing there confirms whether a person is currently held or released.
Send written requests for a jail booking record to the Walthall County Sheriff's Office, 807 Magnolia Avenue, Tylertown, MS 39667. Prefer the phone? Call 601-876-3481 for routing help. The sheriff posts a general contact form. There is no dedicated booking-record form and no local fee schedule. Mississippi's Public Records Act information governs the process statewide. Ask for an itemized cost estimate before you commit. And do not assume MDOC's state fee policy applies to a Walthall request.
Note: A written request with a booking number and date gives the correct custodian a clearer record to locate than a broad name-only request.
Tylertown Arrests: Current and Released
Walthall's two roster views answer different questions. Current Inmates shows who sits in the detention center right now. The 48 Hour Release page lists people let go within the previous two days. Someone can drop off the current list yet still appear in that release window. Still, the release view is not a full history. The sheriff promises no retention period for either page. The current roster runs across multiple pages. Newest-first and oldest-first sorting are both available. The first page is never the whole list. A latest-booking item may sit on the homepage, but the sheriff documents no same-day feed or fixed refresh schedule. Use the search box, the date controls, and the profile details before drawing any conclusion about a Tylertown arrest. Custody notifications run through VINELink, linked from the sheriff homepage. That service sends alerts. It is not the local booking-photo interface. No sheriff jail app, RSS feed, or documented booking-alert subscription exists. Checking the official roster by hand remains the documented route.
Tylertown Busted Cases and Courts
A busted mugshot only shows the start of a case. What happens next plays out in court. Walthall Justice Court takes misdemeanors, bond questions, and early felony steps. You can reach it at 807 Magnolia Avenue or P.O. Box 507, Tylertown, MS 39667, 601-876-2311. Doors are open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to noon and 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Have the case number ready when you call, and ask for the current status. Felony filings live with the Walthall County Circuit Clerk: Dan Hawn, 200 Ball Avenue, Suite C, Tylertown, MS 39667, 601-876-5677.
Charges can shift as a case moves. A felony may be reduced, dismissed, bound over, or resolved by plea. Bond terms can change too. The police report, the booking sheet, and the court file often tell different parts of the same Tylertown story. Pull more than one. Mississippi has no free statewide name search for current Walthall criminal cases. The chamber directories for Justice Court and Circuit Court point you to the right offices. Each clerk sets its own rules for viewing and copying files.
Tylertown Arrest News and Record Dates
News coverage of Tylertown arrests runs on events, not schedules. The Tylertown Times has covered city police, deputies, investigators, jail custody, and Justice Court activity within a single incident. Its August 2024 drive-by-shooting follow-up quoted Chief Jordan Hill and noted sheriff assistance. An earlier 2021 homicide report described jail custody and a sheriff Facebook image. These pieces give dated context. They are not an ongoing mugshot feed. Regional outlets like WLOX crime coverage and The Beat of the Capital add more. A story's details can go stale after a release, transfer, or dismissal. Read the publication date. Check it against the official roster and court record. Broader coverage is pulled together at Walthall Arrest News.
Three record layers matter here: the live roster, news and agency communications, and copied private pages. They are not the same thing. When details clash, trust the sheriff's booking number as the tiebreaker. If someone named in an old story no longer appears on the current roster, treat the story as history. It is not proof the person is still behind bars.
Note: A dated article or copied entry may remain online after a custody status changes, so the source date is part of the record.
Tylertown Busted Mugshots, One City
Tylertown stands alone. County planning material calls it the only incorporated municipality in Walthall County. The MSU Extension census profile puts the 2020 population at 1,515. So this city gets its own page rather than a slot in a made-up list of three. That also explains why every local booking flows through the county detention system based in Tylertown. One caution, though. The Marion/Walthall County Correctional Facility is not the local jail. MDOC lists it at 503 South Main Street in Columbia, inside Marion County. The shared name reflects a correctional arrangement, not a second Walthall city. Start with the sheriff roster for any Tylertown booking. For state custody or a Columbia address, go straight to MDOC and the right records custodian.
