Guidelines for Inquiring about Sullivan County Arrests

There aren't any governmental databases on the Internet which can shed light specifically on Sullivan County arrests. Searchers, therefore, have no choice but to rely on other sources, some of which are private, others are governmental but relate to the whole state as a whole. This article will direct you to these sources assisting you in performing a criminal record check on a county and state level.

Carrying out an arrest search

If you want to obtain information on Sullivan County arrests, that is, to locate current or past inmates – we strongly suggest that you refer to the county jail. You can try to get information by calling their number at 423-279-7500 or visiting them at 140 Blountville Bypass, Blountville, Tennessee 37617. Some searchers who wish to expand their investigation opt for a Tennessee offender search using the computerized public database of the TN Department of Correction. Results include inmates from all of the state's prison facilities.

How to carry out a warrant inquiry

The sheriff is the primary source of information on Sullivan County warrants. As mentioned above, you will not be able to find an official online search tool to help you with your investigation. Thus, you will need to physically go to the sheriff office and ask about the one you are checking. As to online sources, we recommend using the services offered by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. They will perform a background check for you for a fee of $29.
