Greene County Sheriff's Office and Detention Center

The Greene County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center in Greeneville. The facility handles all county-level bookings and holds pretrial detainees along with sentenced inmates. Deputies patrol the entire county and work with Greeneville Police, Tusculum Police, and other agencies on enforcement actions.

When someone is arrested in Greene County, they get taken to the detention center for intake. Staff record the person's name, date of birth, physical traits, charges, arresting agency, and bond amounts. A mugshot is taken. This creates the booking release record, which stays in the system from that point forward. If the person bonds out or gets released by the court, the release date and time are added.

Greene County is large enough that it generates a steady volume of bookings. Common charges include DUI, drug possession, domestic assault, violation of probation, failure to appear, theft, and more serious offenses like aggravated assault and drug distribution. The booking record tracks every charge tied to that arrest.

Booking Releases Under Tennessee Law

All booking releases in Greene County fall under the same state laws that govern public records across Tennessee. T.C.A. § 10-7-503 establishes the right to access. The sheriff's office cannot deny a valid request without a specific legal reason, like juvenile records or sealed court orders.

Juvenile booking records are off limits. Under T.C.A. § 37-1-154, any arrest record for a minor is not available to the public without a court order. This applies in Greene County just like everywhere else in the state.

If you want a booking record removed, Tennessee's expungement law under T.C.A. § 40-32-101 allows it in certain cases. You must file a petition with the Greene County court. Eligible situations include charges that were dismissed, not guilty verdicts, and completion of pretrial diversion programs. Once the court grants the expungement, the booking release gets taken out of the public record at the sheriff's office.

What Greene County Booking Records Include

A booking release from Greene County shows the full name of the person, date of birth, sex, race, and home address. It lists the date and time of arrest, the arresting agency, and each charge with its bond amount. If the person was released, that information appears too. Some records include additional data like the arresting officer's name and the court division handling the case.

These records do not show trial outcomes, plea deals, or sentencing. For that information, you need to check court records through the Tennessee Courts website or contact the Greene County Circuit Court Clerk directly.
