Finding Someone in Custody in Sevier County
The county jail, run by the Sevier County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Sevier County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Sevier County Sheriff's Office at seviersheriffar.org/inmateSearch (page title: Sevier County Sheriff’s Office), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
