Latimer County, Oklahoma, has about 9,500 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Latimer County Sheriff's Office, two city agencies and one campus agency. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Latimer County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Latimer County
The Latimer County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Latimer County. It reported 132 arrests for 2024, its latest complete year.
Arrests inside two of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Wilburton, 2,280 residents: 10 arrests reported for 2025.
- Red Oak, 529 residents: 0 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Latimer County: Eastern Oklahoma State College (campus police).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Latimer County
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Wilburton: 10 for 2025, 34 for 2024, 30 for 2023, 23 for 2022, 25 for 2021 and 34 for 2020.
- Red Oak: 0 for 2025, 1 for 2024 and 0 for 2023.
- Latimer County Sheriff's Office: 132 for 2024, 124 for 2023, 89 for 2022, 117 for 2021 and 47 for 2019; 2020 is missing months.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 10 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 10 in 2025 against 35 in 2024.
Latimer County Sheriff's Office reported only part of 2025 (11 months) and is left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Latimer County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Latimer County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 28 people, down from about 36 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 35 beds, and it ran at 103 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Latimer County
For Latimer County the place to look is the case index of the Latimer County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at latimer.okcounties.org/offices/court-clerk, phone 918.465.2011).

Oklahoma is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can order a name-based criminal history search online, for $15 a search, through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
