Finding Someone in Custody in Sagadahoc County
The county jail, run by the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Sagadahoc County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Office at sagsheriff.com (page title: Sagadahoc County Jail Roster Lookup, ME, Inmate Search), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
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.
