Get in Touch

Butler County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, arrange a visit, or obtain an official booking record. Contact the government office that holds the record for those matters.


Official Butler County Record Contacts

The following official routes separate county custody, court records, state correctional custody, and federal or immigration detention. Butler County does not publish a separate sheriff records-unit number, so the sheriff's main number is the documented phone route for records and custody questions. Confirm office hours before traveling because the sheriff does not publish a records-counter schedule.

Butler County Courthouse Offices

General county office hours are listed as 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

  • County custody or a local booking: call the sheriff at 402-367-7400. The official county site does not provide a verified online jail roster or booking-photo feed.
  • Booking record or public photo request: use the Butler County Freedom of Information request route. Name the person, approximate date, arresting agency if known, and the records sought.
  • Filed court matter: Butler County Court is 402-367-7480, and the District Court Clerk is 402-367-7460. The Nebraska Judicial Branch eServices portal is a post-filing case route, not a live custody search.
  • Nebraska state custody: use the NDCS Inmate Search for sentenced or transferred state prisoners, or the NDCS public-records request route for state records. Neither replaces a Butler County booking inquiry.
  • Federal or immigration custody: use the Bureau of Prisons locator for federal custody or the ICE Online Detainee Locator for qualifying current ICE or CBP custody. These are not county booking sources.
  • Site feedback: use the feedback method made available by the site operator for a non-record question. Do not send private case details, identification documents, or urgent custody requests through a general site contact route.
