Richfield is the main town in the county. Most arrests happen on or near US-89 and the towns that line it. Rural cases take a bit longer to post because of travel time from the scene to the jail.
How to Search Sevier County Recent Bookings

The phone call is best for a quick check. A written request is best when you need the full file. A visit works when you want to read the file on site.
Utah GRAMA is the law that opens most public records to the public. The core section is Utah Code § 63G-2-201. Under GRAMA, staff must answer in about ten business days. Most booking facts stay public: name, charge, book date, and bail. Some details can be held back by law. Juvenile cases stay sealed, and open probes may be closed for now.
Before filing a full request, call the sheriff first. The clerk can often answer fast. If you need a paper copy, bring the full name, a rough arrest date, and any case number you have. Those facts make the search move faster.

Most booking files list:
- Full name and any aliases
- Date of birth
- Book date and time
- Charge or charges
- Bail amount if set

Some parts may be cut. Juvenile names stay sealed. Cases tied to open probes may be closed. Victim data is held back for some crimes. The arrest process sits in Utah Code Title 77, Chapter 7.

Courts and Archives for Sevier County
Each Sevier County booking ties to a court case. The Sevier County Justice Court hears small cases. The Sixth District Court takes felonies and larger civil matters.
