Fillmore County Mugshot Overview
The official Fillmore County source is the county's current in-custody roster path. The Fillmore County Jail page sits under the sheriff's office led by Sheriff John DeGeorge, and the county roster landing page links to a live Fillmore Jail custody table with a Photo column. The roster landing page does not brand the images as a mugshot gallery. It presents an in-custody list for the Fillmore County Adult Detention Center and warns that the list is updated daily but may not be current, accurate, or complete at every moment.
The live roster inspected in the research showed booking photo thumbnails beside current custody rows. The observed image code used a BookingPhotos file pattern and allowed a click to toggle the displayed width from a small thumbnail to a larger thumbnail. No separate official recent-bookings gallery, daily booking report, most-wanted gallery, or historical mugshot archive was located in Fillmore County sources. That means the live roster is the public photo access point for current custody, while older or missing photos require a records request or jail contact.
Fillmore County Booking Photo Sources
Fillmore County booking photos appear in the live custody table linked from the county's roster landing page. The table is not a search form. It is a direct current-custody table, so a user normally opens the roster, checks the timestamp, then uses browser find to look for a last name. For the custody fields and roster limits behind the photo, use the Fillmore County jail inmate records page. A person booked after the roster timestamp, released before the daily update, or transferred out of the county may not appear even if a booking occurred.
The manifest image for the roster comes from the official Fillmore Jail live in-custody table.
The image shows why the roster is best read as a custody table with photos, not as a separate mugshot report.
- Open the Fillmore County current inmate roster landing page and follow the live roster link.
- Check the roster timestamp before relying on the custody row.
- Use browser find for the person's last name because the roster has no last-name search field.
- Review the Photo column and compare name, age, MNI, booking number, and intake date.
- If no photo or row appears, call the jail at 507-765-3874 or use the sheriff data-request process.
Fillmore County Photo Record Fields
A Fillmore County jail mugshot appears with a small set of custody fields. Those fields help confirm identity without exposing every personal detail. The inspected roster showed name, sex, age, booking number, intake date, charges, and bond rows, but it did not show date of birth, home address, detailed physical description, housing unit, arresting officer, court date, release date, or warrant number.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | A thumbnail identification image in the Photo column. The inspected table allowed click-to-enlarge behavior between small display widths. |
| MNI | A Master Name Index number used as an identifying law-enforcement record number. |
| Name | Last, first, and middle name format, with capitalization varying by row. |
| Sex and age | A single-letter sex code and numeric age. Full date of birth was not visible. |
| Booking number | A numeric jail event number for the booking. |
| Intake date | The date and time the jail recorded intake, shown in MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM format. |
| Charges | Nested rows with level code, status such as SENTENCED or COURTPENDING, statute, and short charge text. |
| Bail / bond | Amount \ With Conds, Bail Received, and Bond Received fields, often shown as dollar values. |
Charge text beside a booking photo is not the same as a conviction. Formal charges and later case outcomes should be checked through the Fillmore County court case record after the prosecutor files the case.
Are Fillmore County Mugshots Public?
Minnesota law treats booking photographs as public data unless a specific withholding rule applies. Minn. Stat. 13.82, subdivision 26 defines a booking photograph as a photograph or electronically produced image taken by law enforcement for identification purposes in connection with an arrest. The same subdivision says that, except as otherwise provided, a booking photograph is public data. A law-enforcement agency may temporarily withhold access if it determines release would adversely affect an active investigation.
The official roster proves that Fillmore County publishes current booking photos online for people in custody. The statute explains the statewide rule behind public access. Both facts have limits: the roster is point-in-time custody data, and the statute allows temporary active-investigation withholding.
The statute screenshot used here comes from the official Minnesota law-enforcement data statute.
This law is the main reason a request for an unavailable Fillmore County booking photo should cite booking photographs directly.
Key statute: Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 26 makes booking photographs public data unless another rule applies or temporary withholding is needed for an active investigation.
Fillmore County Missing Photos
A missing Fillmore County booking photo does not always mean the person was never booked. The current roster is updated daily and does not promise complete real-time coverage. A booking may have happened after the timestamp. A release or transfer may have removed the row. A photo may be withheld for active-investigation reasons. The person may also be in state, federal, or immigration custody rather than the Fillmore County Jail.
What is and isn't public: Current roster photos are public when posted, and booking photographs are generally public under Minnesota law. Historical galleries, separate daily mugshot reports, home addresses, full birth dates, and detailed physical profiles were not found in Fillmore County's public roster.
For current custody questions, the jail phone number in the research is 507-765-3874. For sentenced state prisoners, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public viewer rather than the county roster. For federal custody, use the BOP locator, which does not operate as a public mugshot gallery.
Fillmore County Photo Requests
If the image is not online, the local fallback is the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office data-request process. The sheriff services page says to complete the top portion of the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office Data Request Form and return it to the sheriff's office or email it to bharmening@co.fillmore.mn.us. No specific fee schedule or processing time for booking-photo requests was located in the captured official sources, so the request should ask staff to identify any cost before copies are produced.
- Start with the current roster and save the name, booking number, intake date, and charge text if visible.
- Call the jail at 507-765-3874 if the person may still be in custody but the row is missing.
- Use the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office data request instructions when the photo is not posted.
- Identify the person, approximate booking date, booking number if known, and ask for the booking photograph under Minn. Stat. 13.82, subd. 26.
- Ask whether any active-investigation withholding, fee, or identity clarification applies before expecting release.
Fillmore County Mugshot Removal
Fillmore County sources reviewed did not publish a local mugshot removal policy. The live roster appears limited to current custody, so a booking photo may stop appearing when the custody row drops from the table. That does not mean every copy of the photo disappears. Records that were lawfully released, copied, archived, or requested may need separate legal analysis. No page should promise that dismissal, release, or case closure automatically removes all public copies.
Minnesota expungement law can seal eligible criminal records through automatic eligibility under Minn. Stat. 609A.015 or a petition under Minn. Stat. 609A.03. Expungement questions belong in the court process, not with commercial mugshot-removal claims. For charge outcomes and sealing concepts, check the Fillmore County court records after arrest page and verify any legal step with the court or counsel.
Avoid Commercial Mugshot Sites
Commercial mugshot sites are not the official Fillmore County roster, and they may display old, copied, incomplete, or context-free records. They also may charge fees for services that do not clear the original government record. The official source chain is narrower and more reliable: the county roster for current custody photos, the sheriff's records process for non-posted booking photographs, MCRO for formal court charges, and Minnesota expungement law for eligible record sealing.
The same caution applies to screenshots shared on social media. A booking photo is an arrest-identification image, not proof of conviction. Charge status, dismissal, amendment, or conviction must be read in the court record.
State and Federal Photos
Fillmore County jail mugshots are county booking photographs. State prison and federal custody use different systems. The Minnesota Department of Corrections public viewer covers adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections who remain under DOC jurisdiction, including prison and supervision. A person sentenced from Fillmore County may move out of the county roster and into the MNDOC system after transfer.
Federal custody is different again. BOP inmate lookup identifies federal inmates, but BOP and federal pretrial systems generally do not publish public arrest mugshot galleries. ICE detainee lookup is also separate from Fillmore County's roster. A county booking photo should not be expected in state, federal, or immigration locators unless that agency has its own lawful public photo display.
VINE is a notification tool, not a photo source. Minnesota VINE can help with custody-status alerts, while the roster and records request path remain the relevant sources for Fillmore County booking photos.
