Search Yuba County Arrest Records

Yuba County recent arrests are handled by the Yuba County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county jail in Marysville. This Northern California county sits in the Sacramento Valley and shares close ties with neighboring Sutter County. The sheriff's office maintains an inmate search system where you can look up people booked into the Yuba County Jail. Arrest information is available to the public under California law. You can find booking details, charges, and bail amounts without paying a fee. Yuba County processes bookings from local police and sheriff's deputies, and the jail roster stays current as new arrests come in.

Yuba County Inmate Search Online

The Yuba County Sheriff's Office provides an inmate search tool on its website. This database shows people who are currently in custody at the Yuba County Jail. You can search by name to find someone. The results show the person's booking information, charges, and bail amount. The system pulls data from the jail management records and updates as new bookings are processed. It is free and does not require any registration.

Yuba County is relatively small, so the number of inmates at any given time is modest. That makes it easier to find what you need. If the online tool is temporarily down, you can call the sheriff's office to check on someone's custody status. Staff at the jail can look up names in the system and tell you if the person is being held. They can also share basic booking information over the phone.

Note: The Yuba County inmate search may experience occasional downtime for maintenance.

Yuba County Arrest Booking Process

The California DOJ provides tools that cover statewide criminal records, including those from Yuba County. The DOJ Record Review page is one resource for checking your own history.

The DOJ Record Review process is how California residents can request a copy of their own criminal history, which includes any arrests logged in the Yuba County system.

When someone is arrested in Yuba County, the booking takes place at the county jail in Marysville. The arresting officer brings the person in. Jail staff start the intake process right away. They take fingerprints and a booking photo. The charges from the arrest are entered into the system. A bail amount is set based on the Yuba County bail schedule. Once all the information is in, the booking record becomes visible through the inmate search. This can take a few hours from the time of arrest. Sometimes it takes longer if the jail is busy or if there are complications with the booking. Marysville Police Department, Wheatland Police Department, and sheriff's deputies all bring arrested people to the same jail.

Yuba County Arrest Disclosure Laws

California law requires that arrest information be made public. Government Code 7923.610 lists what every law enforcement agency must release. The required details include the full name of the arrested person, physical description, date and time of the arrest, date and time of booking, arrest location, factual circumstances, bail amount, release status, and all charges. The Yuba County Sheriff follows this rule, which is why the inmate search includes so much detail on each booking.

The only time information can be withheld is when sharing it could endanger someone or hurt an investigation. This exception is narrow. In the vast majority of Yuba County arrests, the booking details are fully available to anyone who wants them. You can access the information through the online search, by phone, or through a formal public records request under the California Public Records Act.

Sealing Yuba County Arrest Records

If your arrest in Yuba County did not end in a conviction, you may be able to seal it. Penal Code 851.87 provides the legal framework. You file a petition with Yuba County Superior Court. A judge reviews the case. If the arrest did not lead to a conviction and you meet the criteria, the judge can order the record sealed. After that, it will not show up on most background checks. You can say you were never arrested for that charge.

California's automatic arrest record relief also covers Yuba County. Under AB 1076, the Department of Justice reviews arrest records every month. If a misdemeanor arrest from January 2021 or later was dismissed or never had charges filed within one year, the DOJ grants automatic relief. You do not need to do anything. The process runs on its own and covers every county in California, including Yuba. For felony arrests or cases older than the cutoff date, the petition route through the court is still the way to go.

Note: Sealed records can still be seen by some law enforcement agencies, but not by most employers or landlords.

Yuba County Criminal History Checks

For a complete criminal history that goes beyond the local jail roster, the California DOJ Record Review is the best option. It costs $25. You get fingerprinted at a Live Scan location. Yuba County has Live Scan services at the sheriff's office and some other local agencies. The DOJ sends your full record, which includes every arrest and conviction on file statewide. Fee waivers are available if you cannot afford the $25 charge.

The CDCR inmate search covers state prison inmates. If someone from Yuba County went to state prison, this is where you look. The tool shows their name, age, current prison, admission date, and parole hearing information. It only includes people in the state corrections system. People sitting in the Yuba County Jail are not in this database. For county-level custody data, use the sheriff's inmate search or call the jail.

Booking Photo Rules for Yuba County

If someone posts your Yuba County mugshot online and tries to charge you to take it down, that is a violation. You can file a civil lawsuit and recover at least $1,000 per violation plus your legal costs.

There are also restrictions on law enforcement sharing booking photos. Under AB 1475, police and sheriff's offices in Yuba County cannot post booking photos of nonviolent offenders on social media unless the person is a fugitive or there is a specific public safety reason. A judge can also order the release of a photo in certain cases. Outside of these exceptions, the default rule keeps booking photos off social media.
