Questions About This Site
For a site error, a broken link, or a general question, use the contact method provided by the site operator. Do not send sensitive personal records through a site message. Messages do not create a records request, legal filing, tip, or notice to a Scott County government office.
Scott County Booking Records
For current county custody, a booking sheet, an arrest report, or a question about a booking photograph, start with the official Scott County Sheriff's Office. The published contact is Sheriff Derick Wheetley, P.O. Box 279, 131 S. New Madrid Street, Benton, MO 63736. Call 573-545-3525 or 573-471-3530. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; the jail is described as open 24/7.
The public pages do not name a separate booking-records line or publish a photo fee. Ask the main office to identify the custodian, use a written Missouri Chapter 610 request for a defined record, and request a fee and timing estimate. The official Jail Information page links to the county roster.
Court and Dispatch Requests
For case filings, dockets, or court copies, contact the Scott County Circuit Clerk, Stacey Naile, at 131 S. New Madrid Street, Benton, MO 63736, 573-545-3596. The clerk lists Monday through Friday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The court request form states a $5 copy fee before records are received and a five to ten business day processing estimate.
For a 911 call, CAD, or dispatch record, use the separate Scott County 911 Sunshine request route: Custodian of Records, P.O. Box 748, Benton, MO 63736; 573-475-3780; arodgers@scottcounty911.org. That channel accepts written requests and says it will respond or estimate cost by the end of the third business day. Dispatch material is not automatically a police arrest report or jail booking record.
Where to Check First
Use the office that owns the particular record. A current county-custody question begins with the sheriff/jail route. A later case outcome belongs with the clerk and Case.net. A state-supervision question goes to the Missouri DOC Offender Search. A city arrest may begin with Sikeston DPS, Scott City Police, or Benton city staff before a county transfer occurs.
- For an emergency or immediate danger, call 911.
- For a confidential public-safety tip, use the sheriff's official crime-tip form.
- For custody or court-event notifications, use Missouri MOVANS.
- For an error in an official record, contact the agency custodian and provide the exact record details.
- For a legal question or possible warrant, contact an attorney, the court, or the agency that can lawfully confirm status.
