Find Booking Releases in Maryville
Maryville booking releases come through the Blount County jail system, where all arrests in the city are processed and logged. The Blount County Sheriff's Office runs an online inmate lookup tool that shows current and recent bookings with photos, names, charges, and booking dates. Maryville is the county seat of Blount County, sitting just south of Knoxville in East Tennessee. The Maryville Police Department handles arrests within city limits, but once a person is booked into the county detention center, the Sheriff's Office takes charge of that data. The Blount County Adult Detention Center has a certified capacity of 350 inmates and processed over 6,300 bookings in 2019 alone.

Maryville Public Records Requests
The City of Maryville uses a NextRequest portal for public records requests. You can submit requests online, get a cost estimate, and track the status of your request as it moves through the system. Records can be sent to you electronically, saving a trip to the office.
Here is the Maryville NextRequest portal where records requests are submitted and tracked.
The Maryville NextRequest page above is how you start a formal records request to the city. This covers police department records including arrest reports tied to booking releases.
You must be a Tennessee resident to request records under the state's Public Records Act. A Tennessee driver's license or other proof of residency is needed. The records custodian has seven business days to respond. They can provide the records, deny the request with a written explanation, or ask for more time. If your request takes over an hour of staff work, you may be charged a labor fee on top of copy costs.
For records from the Blount County Sheriff's Office rather than the city, contact their records division directly. The Sheriff's Office follows the same state rules and fee schedule. You can call 865-273-5000 or visit their office in Maryville during business hours.
Expungement of Maryville Booking Records
Some Maryville booking records can be expunged under Tennessee law. T.C.A. § 40-32-101 allows you to petition for removal if your case was dismissed, you were found not guilty, the grand jury returned no true bill, or you finished a pretrial diversion program. The petition must be filed in the Blount County court where the case was heard.
This process takes some work. You file the petition, possibly pay a fee, and wait for the court to rule. A lawyer can help but is not required. Once the court approves expungement, the booking record should be removed from the online lookup system and from physical files at the detention center. Visit the Tennessee Courts website for forms and self-help guides.
