Finding Someone in Custody in Senatobia
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Senatobia is held at the county jail, run by the Tate County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Tate County Sheriff's Office at tatecountysheriff.com/inmateRoster (page title: Tate County Sheriff MS), 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.
