Montgomery County Sheriff's Office

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is at 120 Commerce Street in Clarksville. This office manages the county jail and all 72 hour booking records.

Montgomery County is a big operation. With over 220,000 residents and a city the size of Clarksville, the jail sees a high volume of bookings each week. The sheriff's office maintains an online portal where you can check recent arrests. The portal shows names, charges, bond amounts, and booking times.

If you have questions about a specific arrest or booking, call the sheriff's office at (931) 648-0611. Staff can help with general inquiries about inmates and recent 72 hour booking records.

Montgomery County 72 Hour Booking Portal

You can see the full name, charges, bond amount, and booking date for each entry. The system does not need a login. Just load the page and scroll through the results.

This portal pulls in arrests from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and the Clarksville Police Department. Because Clarksville is such a large city, a big portion of the bookings come from city police stops.

The data refreshes regularly, so new bookings appear within hours of being processed.

The TBI also maintains a statewide criminal history search. The screenshot below shows the TBI TORIS portal, which covers all Tennessee counties including Montgomery.

The TORIS system runs $29 per name and shows adult criminal history across the entire state, not just Montgomery County records.

Note: If a booking happened late at night, it may take several hours to appear on the online portal for Montgomery County.

Searching Montgomery County Bookings

The online portal is the fastest way to look up 72 hour booking records. But there are other options too. You can call the jail at (931) 648-0611 any time. Jail staff can confirm if someone is in custody and give you basic booking details over the phone.

For formal records requests, go to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 120 Commerce Street in Clarksville during business hours. Bring a photo ID and the full name of the person. Written requests can be mailed to the same address. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-503, booking records are public in Tennessee. The custodian has up to 7 business days to respond to a written request. Most phone and walk-in inquiries about recent bookings are handled right away.

The Clarksville Police Department website has information on local policing and public records requests. However, actual booking records are maintained by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office since that office runs the jail. If someone was arrested by Clarksville police, their booking record is still at the county level.

Montgomery County Charges and Bonds

Montgomery County sees a wide range of charges in its 72 hour booking records. Common ones include DUI, domestic assault, drug possession, aggravated assault, theft, burglary, violation of probation, and failure to appear. Bond amounts vary. A minor misdemeanor might carry a bond of $250 to $1,000. Serious felonies can have bonds set at $100,000 or more.

Each record shows the full charge name and the bond set for it. Some entries show $0 for bond, which usually means a probation hold or a transfer from another jurisdiction. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-7-103, officers can arrest without a warrant when they see a crime happen or have probable cause for a felony. These warrantless arrests show up in the booking records just like any other. For some misdemeanors, officers may issue a citation under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-7-118 instead of making an arrest. No booking record is created when that happens.

72 Hour Booking Statewide Tools

Beyond the Montgomery County portal, there are a few state-level tools worth knowing. The Felony Offender Information Lookup is free and shows anyone who is or has been in state prison custody. It does not cover county jail inmates, but it is useful if someone has been transferred to a state facility after being booked in Montgomery County.

VINELink is a free alert service that notifies you when an inmate's custody status changes. You can sign up for phone, email, or text alerts. It covers every county in Tennessee, including Montgomery. This is especially useful if someone was booked in the last 72 hours and might bond out quickly. Registration takes a few minutes and the system runs around the clock.
