Yuba County Sheriff's Office

The Yuba County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and handles all bookings for the area. The office is based in Marysville. When someone gets arrested in Yuba County, whether by a sheriff's deputy or the Marysville Police Department, they end up at the county jail for booking. The process creates a mugshot along with a record of charges, bail, and personal details. This booking record is a public document under California law.

The sheriff's website at yubasheriff.com may have an inmate lookup feature. Check the site for a current jail roster or inmate search tool. If one is available, you can search by name to find people currently in custody. Results typically show the booking photo, charges, bail amount, and housing details. This is the fastest way to find a current busted mugshot in Yuba County.

If the online tool does not show what you need, call the jail at (530) 749-7770. The staff can tell you if someone is in custody and share basic booking information. For a written record or a copy of the mugshot, submit a Public Records Act request. The sheriff's office in Marysville handles these requests and must respond within 10 days under state law.

How to Find Arrest Records in Yuba County

Start by checking the sheriff's website or calling the jail. For current inmates, these are the quickest options. For people who have been released or for older records, you need to file a formal request. Write a California Public Records Act request and send it to the Yuba County Sheriff's records division. Include the person's full name, approximate date of arrest, and any other identifying details like a date of birth or booking number.

The records division will pull the file and send you what they can release. Most booking records are public. Exceptions include juvenile records, sealed files, and cases where release might interfere with an active investigation. There may be a small fee for copies. The response time is usually under two weeks, but it can vary based on staffing and workload at the office.

Marysville is the only incorporated city in Yuba County. The Marysville Police Department handles arrests within city limits, but booking goes through the county jail.

Yuba County Court Records

The Yuba County Superior Court is in Marysville. All criminal cases in the county go through this court. Court records are public and contain details that booking records do not.

Court records and booking records serve different purposes. The booking data shows the initial arrest and mugshot. The court data shows the legal outcome. Was the person charged? Did they plead guilty? Was there a trial? What sentence did the judge give? For a complete picture of someone's criminal history in Yuba County, you need both records. Check with the court clerk in Marysville for access to case files.

The clerk can search by defendant name or case number. Certified copies of documents cost a per-page fee. For basic case lookups, you may be able to get information at the counter. Call the court first to find out about current access options and any online tools that might be available.

Clearing Records in Yuba County

California provides several legal paths to seal or clear arrest records. Under Penal Code section 851.87, you can petition to seal your arrest if charges were dropped, never filed, or you were found not guilty. Once sealed, the mugshot becomes unavailable to the public. The Clean Slate Act under SB 731 automates sealing for certain arrests. Misdemeanor arrests without charges seal after one year. Felony arrests without charges seal after three years.

The court updates the record to show the case was dismissed. This is helpful for employment and background checks. Legal aid may be available through Legal Services of Northern California, which serves the Sacramento Valley. The process typically takes several weeks depending on the court calendar.

Yuba and Sutter County Connection

Yuba and Sutter counties sit right next to each other in the Sacramento Valley. Marysville, the Yuba County seat, and Yuba City, the Sutter County seat, are separated by the Feather River. The two communities function almost as one metro area. Law enforcement in both counties works together on many cases. Multi-agency task forces operate across county lines on drug enforcement and other issues.

Because of this close connection, an arrest that seems like it should be in Yuba County might actually be processed in Sutter County, or the other way around. If you cannot find a busted mugshot in Yuba County records, check Sutter County too. The Sutter County Sheriff handles bookings for their side of the river. It is worth checking both jurisdictions if the arrest happened near the border between the two counties.

Beale Air Force Base sits partly in Yuba County. Military arrests on base go through the military justice system, not the county.
