Finding Someone in Custody in Coshocton County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Coshocton County is held at the county jail, run by the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office at coshoctonsheriff.com/inmate-lookup (page title: Coshocton County Inmate Search), phone (740) 622-2411, 500 N 3rd St, Coshocton, OH 43812, 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.
