Custer County Arrests and Public Records Law

Oklahoma's Open Records Act, Title 51 O.S. § 24A.1, gives the public the right to access arrest and booking records held by the Custer County Sheriff. You can request booking logs, arrest reports, and inmate counts. Submit requests in writing to the Custer County Sheriff's Office at 3000 S. 7th Street in Weatherford. Written requests are the most effective way to get complete records, especially for older arrests that are no longer visible in the online roster.

A booking in Custer County recent arrests data reflects a charge, not a conviction. Cases are sometimes dismissed, pled down, or taken to trial and resolved in different ways. An arrest record stays in the system unless a court orders it expunged. To see how a specific case ended, use OSCN to pull the district court file. That record, combined with the booking data, gives the most complete view of someone's involvement with Custer County law enforcement.
