Official Places to Start
For a Tyrrell County arrest, first separate the question by custody type. Local arrests are handled through the Tyrrell County Sheriff's Office and, when jail housing is needed, Washington County Jail in Plymouth. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through NCDAC, while federal and immigration custody use separate national locators.

Use the following pages when you need more detail about a specific type of lookup or record path.
- For a possible local jail booking, start with jail inmate records and the Washington County detention number.
- For booking-photo questions, use jail roster mugshots and remember that no official Tyrrell online mugshot roster was located.
- For charges, hearings, and case status after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the North Carolina eCourts Portal.
- For facility-specific information, use the Washington County Jail and Tyrrell Prison Work Farm pages linked in the footer.
- For sentenced state prisoners, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender locator, not the county jail process.
- For federal inmates or immigration detainees, search the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
- No official Tyrrell sheriff mobile app was identified for jail roster or custody lookup use.
