Mercer County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, obtain official booking records, or act for a jail, court, or records office. Use the government contact that holds the type of record you need.
Match the Request to the Record Holder
Contact the Mercer County Jail for a current-custody or records and booking-process question. The jail's public reports are for its current population and do not establish a public booking-photo service. For a formal request for an existing booking or commitment record, use Mercer County's Open Records process and identify the jail as the likely custodian. A court docket question follows a different path from a jail booking question.

Mercer County says a request must use the Standard Right-to-Know Request Form to be considered a Right-to-Know request. The Pennsylvania Office of Open Records provides the current standard form and filing materials. Direct the request to the agency that possesses the existing record, rather than asking an office to create a new report.
Mercer Court Administration

Court Administration handles court and docket-process questions. It is not the source for a current jail booking record. For a public criminal docket, use the Pennsylvania UJS case search; older paper material may require the appropriate court records process.
Sheriff's Office
Mercer County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Tim Callahan205 South Erie Street
Mercer, PA 16137-1553
724-662-6135
Permit office: Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The sheriff's published permit hours are not jail booking hours. The sheriff's information does not identify a public booking-record desk, so use the jail or County Open Records route for a Mercer County Jail record.
Where to Look Next
Use the custody system that matches the agency and custody state. A county report, a state sentence, a federal case, and immigration detention are separate systems.
- For a Mercer County custody report, booking record, or the official request path, begin with the Mercer County records home.
- For a statewide sentenced-prisoner or parole and reentrant search, use the PA DOC reentrant and inmate locator. It is not a Mercer County booking lookup, and a public offender photo was not confirmed.
- For a federal inmate from 1982 forward, use the BOP inmate locator. Federal records requests follow the BOP FOIA process.
- For ICE custody or certain recent-release information, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Its result limits and delays mean an absence is not conclusive.
- For a Mercer County wanted-fugitive or warrant-check resource, use Most Wanted Fugitives. Resolve a warrant through the court, counsel, or the proper law-enforcement office.
