Delaware County Recent Arrests Quick Facts
Delaware County Inmate Lookup
The Delaware County Sheriff's Office provides a free online inmate lookup tool at delawarecountysheriff.org/jail/inmate-lookup. The search fields include first name, middle name, last name, age, inmate number, and booking date and time. Results show the inmate's full name, inmate number, booking date, scheduled release date, total bond amount, charge details with the applicable statute, case number, and case status.
This is one of the more detailed county-level inmate search tools in Indiana. The bond amount and statute reference help you understand both the financial conditions set by the court and the specific law the person is alleged to have violated. The charge statute links to Indiana code, which you can look up at the Indiana General Assembly's site to see exactly what the law says.
The Sheriff's Office and jail are both located at 100 W Washington St, Muncie, IN 47305. The main phone number is 765-747-7800 and the fax is 765-747-7805. Delaware County is one of Indiana's larger counties by population, and the jail sees a substantial number of bookings.
