Finding Someone in Custody in Choctaw County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Choctaw County is held at the county jail, run by the Choctaw County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Choctaw County Sheriff's Office at choctawcosheriff.com/inmate-search (page title: Inmate Search | Choctaw County Sheriff's Office), phone 877-654-8463, 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.
