Cass County Record Contacts

Contacts for a Cass County arrest depend on the agency, city, and custody state. The county Sheriff is the first call when the arresting agency or receiving facility is unclear. Beardstown, Ashland, and Virginia have municipal routes, while the Circuit Clerk handles the public court continuation. This is a private reference, not a government office, so official custody and record questions belong with the office that created or holds the record.

Not a Government Office

Cass County Busted Mugshots is not affiliated with the Cass County Sheriff, any city police department, a jail, the Illinois Department of Corrections, or another government agency. It cannot confirm whether a person is in custody, say when someone was released, post bond, transfer money, or pull an official booking record. A government office must answer those questions directly.

For an emergency, call 911. For a records or custody question, use the official agency contact below and ask for the current records custodian or receiving-facility route.

Where to Send the Question

Choose the office by the record you need, not by a generic search result.

  • For a new Cass-road or unincorporated arrest, call the Cass County Sheriff and ask which agency and facility are involved.
  • For a Beardstown arrest, use Beardstown Police, then the city’s FOIA instructions for a written request.
  • For an Ashland arrest, use Ashland Police or the Village form, remembering that the Sheriff also covers the Village.
  • For a Virginia arrest, use the city-government FOIA information and the county-listed police number. City Hall can identify the current records officer.
  • For a court outcome, contact the Cass Circuit Clerk at 100 E. Springfield Street, Virginia, Illinois 62691, 217-452-7225, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or use Judici when the case is public.
  • For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Illinois DOC inmate search. For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator.

What to Include in a Request

Give the custodian enough detail to find one event. State the person’s name if known, arresting agency, date range, location, report or case number, and the exact records requested. Ask separately for the arrest-information record, a booking photo if taken and releasable, custody receipt or transfer details, and any public disposition notation.

  1. Ask the agency to confirm whether it created or retains the record.
  2. Ask where the person was received if current custody is the question.
  3. Request electronic delivery if available and confirm any copy cost.
  4. Ask the office to identify a withheld field and its legal basis.

The county FOIA form supports electronic or paper copies and a preferred electronic format. It does not publish a special booking-photo fee or a Sheriff-specific turnaround promise. Confirm current instructions before sending a request.
