Morgan County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, obtain an official booking record, release anyone, post bond, or change a government file. Contact the office that holds the record directly.
Official Records and Custody Contacts
Morgan County does not publish one public jail database or a separate booking-photo records line. The right contact depends on who made the arrest, where the person was booked, and whether the matter is local, state, federal, or immigration custody. Call before visiting and ask the office to confirm its current submission method. For an arrest report or a sheriff-created photograph, start with the sheriff. For a jail register, booking entry, release record, or facility photograph, contact the jailer or the facility that actually received the person.
Morgan County Sheriff's Office
Sheriff Greg Motley
450 Prestonsburg Street
West Liberty, KY 41472
(606) 743-3613
Weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
No separate public records or booking-photo telephone line is listed. Use the main number for routing, then send a written request to the agency if staff direct you to do so.
Morgan County Jailer
County directory listing:
Jimmy Darrell Easterling
153 College Street
West Liberty, KY 41472
(606) 743-4937
The county Fiscal Court page conflicts with the official directory by listing James D. Easterling and (606) 477-0864. The two numbers have not been combined. Start with the county-directory listing and verify the current jail contact before sending records or visiting. If the person was booked into Rowan County Detention Center or Big Sandy Regional Detention Center, contact that facility for its own booking record and photograph.
Morgan County Circuit Court Clerk
Morgan County Judicial Center
261 Court Street
West Liberty, KY 41472
(606) 743-3763
Fax: (606) 743-2633
The clerk is the official starting point for a Morgan County court file, docket event, or disposition. A court case search does not guarantee that an active warrant is displayed or current.
Use the source that matches the question:
- For a mugshot, booking record, recent arrest, roster result, or written-request path, use the Morgan County records overview and then contact the agency or holding facility named there.
- For wanted or warrant information, follow the Most Wanted Fugitives official check path through the sheriff, clerk, or an attorney. Do not rely on an unofficial list.
- For an arrest made by West Liberty Police, contact the department at 565 Main Street, West Liberty, KY 41472, (606) 743-4385. A separate city-official listing uses 561 Main Street, so confirm the location before visiting.
- For a sentenced state prisoner's record or institutional photograph, use the Kentucky Online Offender Lookup. For a written DOC file request, contact the Kentucky Department of Corrections Open Records Coordinator, PO Box 2400, Frankfort, KY 40602; fax 502-564-9575; correctionsopenrecords@ky.gov.
- For federal custody from 1982 to the present, use the official Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator. It reports federal custody or release status but does not provide Morgan County booking photos.
- For current ICE custody, or qualifying Customs and Border Protection custody over 48 hours, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. The ERO information line is 1-888-351-4024. The locator does not search records for people under 18 and is not a local jail roster.
- For a federal pretrial detainee held under a court order, the relevant federal court, detention facility, or U.S. Marshals district contact may be needed. Such a person may be housed locally without appearing in the BOP locator.
A record request should be narrow and should identify the person, date range, record type, arresting agency, and facility when known. Morgan County publishes a general open-records form, but one email on the procedure materials appears to be a stale template route. Confirm the correct custodian and delivery address by phone before sending sensitive details. No separate Morgan County booking-photo fee is published; ask for an itemized estimate of any lawful reproduction, media, postage, or advance charge.
