Decatur County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, arrange a release, or retrieve an official booking record. Direct those requests to the appropriate public office below.
Decatur County Record Contacts
For a current-custody question, a local booking record, or a booking photograph request, begin with the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office. The county’s departments page is the primary local contact source. Its Sheriff is Dale King, and its Jail Administrator is Donald Gregory. The Sheriff’s Office operates around the clock, but that does not establish public-records desk hours.
Decatur County Sheriff’s Office
Physical address:
38 North East Street
Decaturville, TN 38329
Mailing address:
P.O. Box 427

Phone: 731-852-3703
Fax: 731-852-2871
For a booking record or photo, make a focused request to the Sheriff or jail records custodian. The County Public Records Request Coordinator directory lists Melinda Broadway, County Court Clerk, at 731-852-3417 and Melinda.broadway@tn.gov. The PRRC coordinates request routing. The Sheriff or jail custodian holds the actual booking file or photograph and decides any lawful withholding or redaction.
Tennessee’s public-records process is governed by Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-503. The last located Decatur County written schedule states that inspection is free and lists $0.15 for a black-and-white page and $0.50 for a color page. A March 2025 county agenda indicates a policy update, so confirm the current charges and any estimate before asking for copies or a digital image.
Decatur County Courts
Circuit Court Clerk: Kelly Harden
P.O. Box 488
22 West Main Street
Decaturville, TN 38329
Phone: 731-852-3125
Posted hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday 8 a.m. to noon.
The clerk is the appropriate local contact for later court proceedings and disposition questions. Court records do not replace the Sheriff’s booking file. An arrest or booking is an allegation, not a conviction, so check the court outcome when the legal result matters.
Use the official source that matches the record sought:
- Use the Citizen Connect Arrest Search for the county’s date-range arrest search and the Daily Report for its rolling reports.
- Use Criminal Papers Search for the county’s public warrant-related paper lookup, then verify status with the responsible authority. The Wanted Fugitives page explains the official safety-first route.
- Use the TDOC offender search for a person in Tennessee state custody or supervision, not for every Decatur County booking.
- Use the federal BOP Inmate Locator or ICE detainee locator when the person is in the corresponding federal system.
- For help understanding the countywide official routes and records-request details, see the Decatur County booking and arrest lookup.
