Mohave Recent Arrests: Mugshots, Bookings & Records

The public list is not equivalent to the former searchable database. A published inmate list may help establish that a name appeared on a particular dated snapshot, but it should not be treated as a complete record of arrests, bookings, mugshots, charges, housing assignments or releases.

1. 1

   Begin at the Sheriff’s Inmate Search notice

   Open Mohave County Inmate Search. Confirm the county’s current instructions instead of opening an old bookmarked search application.

2. 2

   Follow the Sheriff’s Press Release link

   Select the link to Sheriff’s Office Press Releases. The release area contains embedded county-published material, so a normal web browser may be necessary to view it.

3. 3

   Locate the relevant inmate list

   Look for an inmate-list entry or document made available through the press-release area. Do not confuse a press release about one arrest investigation with the county’s published jail population list.

4. 4

   Check the document date before searching

   Use the most relevant published list and note its timestamp. An older list is only a record of what appeared at that time. Publication frequency and availability can change.

5. 5

   Look for the individual’s legal name

   Where the list is a searchable PDF, use the browser’s or PDF viewer’s Find function to search the surname. Compare the full name rather than relying on one common name.

6. 6

   Do not infer charges or guilt from a name alone

   Some county-published inmate lists provide names without a full charge description, mugshot, bond amount or court disposition. Contact the Detention Facility for the custody question you actually need answered.

7. 7

   Call for current information

   For a person who may be in custody now, call 928-753-0759. The jail states that the public may call about inmate information or bonding at any hour, seven days a week.

8. 8

   Check the court separately

   For case filings, hearings or disposition, use the Arizona Judicial Branch Case Lookup or the proper Mohave County court office.

Mohave County Adult Detention Facility is located at 501 South Highway 66, Kingman, AZ 86401. Its published telephone number is 928-753-0759.

The jail’s administrative business hours are listed as 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday through Friday, but inmate-information and bond questions can be handled by telephone 24 hours a day.

Which Jail Phone Menu Option Should You Use?

Mohave County’s current public inmate-search notice does not provide a searchable mugshot database. Its stated alternative is the Sheriff’s press-release area, which should not be assumed to publish photographs, charges and booking details for every person.

If you need an arrest photograph for a legitimate records purpose, determine which agency made the arrest and ask about the applicable public-records process. Release is subject to Arizona law, court rulings, privacy requirements and agency restrictions.

Because the live public inmate search is disabled, the detention-center telephone is especially important for bond questions. The Sheriff’s Jail Detention page states that the public may call for inmate information or to arrange an eligible bond at any hour.

1. 1

   Verify the person is in Mohave County custody

   Call 928-753-0759 and use the current custody-information or bond menu. Have the person’s full name and any known booking or court identifiers available.

2. 2

   Ask whether a bond has been set

   Not every detainee is immediately eligible for release by posting money. A judge’s order, pending initial appearance, additional warrant or other legal hold may affect the available options.

3. 3

   Confirm the amount and acceptable payment method

   Ask the jail exactly which payment options it currently accepts and where the payment must be completed. Do not assume the inmate commissary service is the correct way to pay bail.

4. 4

   Ask about additional holds and release conditions

   A person may have more than one case, an out-of-county warrant, an extradition matter or another hold. Paying the amount connected to one case may not result in immediate release.

5. 5

   Save official documentation

   Retain the receipt, case identifiers and any paperwork supplied by the court, jail or authorized bonding company. Confirm the remaining release requirements before making travel arrangements.

6. 6

   Confirm physical release separately

   Payment acceptance does not by itself establish that a person has left custody. Jail processing and required court instructions must still be completed.

Mohave County Jail offers both remote and on-site video visitation. The Sheriff’s current Visiting Rules page identifies NCIC Correctional Services as the provider for visitation, inmate telephones and tablets.

How To Schedule a Mohave County Jail Visit

1. 1

   Read the official visiting rules

   Open Mohave County Jail Visiting Rules. The county says visitation privileges and hours can change without advance notice.

2. 2

   Register with NCIC Correctional Services

   Use the NCIC account route provided by the Sheriff. One NCIC account supports inmate telephone, tablet and visitation services.

3. 3

   Choose on-site or remote video visitation

   Remote visitation is generally offered every day between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. The county lists on-site visitation Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

4. 4

   Schedule at least 24 hours in advance

   The official visiting policy requires advance scheduling through the provider. Select an available session based on the inmate’s housing and eligibility.

5. 5

   Review the identification and visit conditions

   Follow all security, identity verification and visitor behavior rules shown by the jail and provider. The Sheriff’s notice states that on-site and remote visits are recorded and monitored.

6. 6

   Use the correct support line if scheduling fails

   NCIC lists customer support at 800-943-2189. For facility-specific restrictions, call Mohave County Jail at 928-753-0759 and select the visitation department.

The Sheriff’s Office lists TouchPay Holdings, LLC for inmate commissary deposits. You must identify the correct facility and inmate before authorizing payment.

1. 1

   Start with the official Jail Detention page

   Open Mohave County Jail Detention and find the TouchPay inmate-funds section.

2. 2

   Choose online, phone or lobby kiosk

   The county lists TouchPay online deposits, telephone deposits at 866-232-1899 and a kiosk located in the jail lobby.

3. 3

   Use the correct facility locator

   Enter facility locator 286401 when required by the service, then verify the inmate and detention facility before proceeding.

4. 4

   Check the current transaction fee

   The live provider system should show the amount charged and the inmate-account credit. The county does not publish a universal fixed service fee on its main Detention page.

5. 5

   Keep payment confirmation

   Save the date, amount, transaction number and provider receipt. Contact the appropriate payment support or the jail commissary department if a deposit does not appear.

Mohave County changed its inmate mail process effective November 19, 2025. Ordinary personal mail is now routed to a scanning center in Longview, Texas. Legal and medical correspondence must not be sent to that scanning address.

Important Rules for Scanned Personal Mail

NCIC Digital Messaging Fees

The Sheriff identifies NCIC inmate messaging as an alternative to ordinary letters. Its published policy lists:

1. 1

   Open the official mail policy

   Review Mohave County Jail Mail Policy to confirm the most current handling rules.

2. 2

   Create an NCIC account

   Follow the county’s provider route at NCIC Correctional Services.

3. 3

   Identify the correct inmate

   Check the person’s name and any required detention identifier before sending a message.

4. 4

   Review the charge and submit

   Confirm the current displayed provider price. Do not send privileged legal or medical documents through an ordinary personal-messaging route without appropriate authorization.

Someone may have been arrested by a law-enforcement agency in Mohave County but have a case assigned to a Justice Court, municipal court or Superior Court. The jail list and the court’s official docket serve different purposes.

Arizona offers two useful statewide services: Public Access to Court Information for case lookup and eAccess for qualifying Superior Court documents.

Step-by-Step: Finding a Mohave County Criminal Case

1. 1

   Identify the person’s court or case number

   If available, use the arrest paperwork, citation, charging document or jail information to identify the correct court. Do not assume every criminal matter is a Superior Court felony.

2. 2

   Open Arizona Public Access to Court Information

   Use Arizona Judicial Branch Public Access. The service allows searches by name or case number for participating courts.

3. 3

   Complete the site’s verification step

   The public-access portal may require a verification word or image before searches can be submitted. This is part of the live application and is not a fee-based private search.

4. 4

   Choose the correct court where possible

   Filter to the applicable Mohave County court if supported. Check the case number, date, party information and court details carefully.

5. 5

   For Superior Court documents, use eAccess

   Visit Arizona eAccess, register as required and search the available criminal case documents.

6. 6

   Review fees before buying documents

   Arizona eAccess states that a document’s first-page preview is free and that the standard pay-as-you-go download charge is $10 per document. Subscription and certification options have separate pricing.

7. 7

   Contact the Clerk for certified records

   If a document is missing or a certified copy is required, contact Mohave County Clerk of Superior Court at 928-753-0713.

Which Mohave Court Handles Which Type of Case?

Mohave County Superior Court has public Clerk offices in Kingman, Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City. The location matters if you need to inspect records, request copies, resolve payment questions or obtain certification.

How To Request Copies From the Clerk

1. 1

   Open the official Clerk of Superior Court page

   Use Mohave County Clerk of Superior Court, then find the Copies of Court Records section.

2. 2

   Prepare the record identifiers

   Have the case number if known, party name, date of birth where appropriate, court, and the specific filing or hearing date.

3. 3

   Choose the type of document required

   Specify an ordinary copy, certified copy, minute entry or other available court record. Certification and research services may carry additional charges.

4. 4

   Submit through a permitted method

   The Clerk provides options for in-person, mail, fax and other supported submission procedures. It lists clerkofcourt@mohavecourts.com for Clerk correspondence.

5. 5

   Confirm the fee and delivery method

   Request a current fee quote and ask whether the document can be emailed or must be picked up or mailed. The office can explain its available payment methods.

If the investigation was handled by the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, use its official Forms & Records page to request a releasable police report. The Sheriff lists a $5 charge per report and asks for a self-addressed stamped envelope.

1. 1

   Identify the investigating agency

   Determine whether the incident was documented by the Sheriff’s Office or a municipal police department such as Kingman, Lake Havasu City or Bullhead City Police.

2. 2

   Open the Sheriff’s official records page

   Go to Sheriff Forms & Records. Locate the Request for Reports form.

3. 3

   Download and complete the form

   Provide the information requested by the Sheriff, such as incident number where known, incident date, location and the record you need.

4. 4

   Include the applicable report fee

   The Sheriff’s published page lists $5 for each report. Check the form for accepted payment and submission instructions before enclosing money.

5. 5

   Include a self-addressed stamped envelope

   The Sheriff specifically requests a self-addressed stamped envelope for report-copy requests. Follow the current form’s mailing or delivery instructions.

6. 6

   Ask what can legally be released

   An incident report may contain confidential, juvenile, investigative, victim-related or otherwise restricted material. The records custodian determines releasability under applicable law.

Mohave County covers a large portion of northwestern Arizona. A person may be arrested by a city police officer, a Sheriff’s deputy or another law-enforcement agency. The jail custody source and the original police report may belong to different agencies.

Lake Havasu City Police Reports

Lake Havasu City Police Department has a dedicated Police Reports & Records Requests page. It provides electronic GovQA submission, mail and in-person request options.

Mohave County Jail is not the same system as Arizona state prisons. When a person has been transferred to state corrections, the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry may be the relevant source.

How To Verify a Possible Release

1. 1

   Check the date on the county-published list

   A name on an old list does not establish continued incarceration.

2. 2

   Call the county jail

   Use 928-753-0759 and the Charges/Bonds/Release department for appropriate custody questions.

3. 3

   Check the court for release orders and case status

   Use the relevant court docket or Clerk, especially if a release depends on a hearing or judicial order.

4. 4

   Use ADCRR if transferred to state prison

   Open the state inmate data search when appropriate.

5. 5

   Ask about victim notifications if applicable

   For an ongoing criminal case, contact Mohave County Victim/Witness Program rather than assuming a periodically published inmate list serves as an alert system.

1. Expecting the old inmate-search form to work. The Sheriff has disabled the public interactive search and now points to its press-release area.
2. Using an old PDF as a live jail roster. A published inmate list is a dated snapshot, not continuing proof that someone remains jailed.
3. Assuming a jail list provides every mugshot. Publicly available list documents may contain names without photographs, charges or bond details.
4. Confusing arrest with conviction. Confirm the criminal court disposition before treating any allegation as proven.
5. Calling Sheriff’s headquarters instead of the detention center for current custody. Use 928-753-0759 for jail information and bond-related questions.
6. Using outdated inmate-visitation providers. The Sheriff currently lists NCIC Correctional Services.
7. Failing to schedule a visit 24 hours ahead. The current visiting rules require advance scheduling.
8. Sending regular mail to Kingman when it belongs in Longview. Personal mail now uses the separate Texas scanning center.
9. Sending original irreplaceable documents to the mail-scanning center. The Sheriff states processed correspondence is destroyed.
10. Paying an inmate’s commissary account as though it were bail. TouchPay inmate deposits and judicial bond procedures are different purposes.
11. Requesting a city police incident report from the wrong agency. Kingman, Lake Havasu and Bullhead City may have their own police records.
12. Using Arizona eAccess for a Justice Court document. eAccess focuses on qualifying Superior Court records; limited-jurisdiction court documents have separate procedures.

The following government and officially designated provider resources support the procedures in this guide. Use the live source to confirm current status, payment terms, schedules and record availability.
