Search Union County Released Inmates

Union County Released Inmates records are centered in Maynardville, where the sheriff office, jail, dispatch, and county records coordinator all support a local search that stays close to the original custody event. The county roster can show who was booked, what charges were listed, and when the arrest happened, which makes it a strong first stop when the only clue is a name or a rough date. This page keeps the search county-first, then moves to Tennessee state resources only when the local jail trail has already answered as much as it can.

Union County Released Inmates Search

The first stop for Union County Released Inmates is the sheriff office at 130 Veterans Street in Maynardville. Sheriff Billy Breeding and Chief Deputy Brian Smith are the named contacts, and the office also handles dispatch and criminal investigations. The jail is at the same address, with Jail Administrator Jeremy Meltabarger overseeing a medium security facility. That means the custody trail stays in one local place, which is useful when the goal is to confirm whether someone was booked, is still held, or has already been released.

Union County also has an online roster on the sheriff's office website, which helps the search move quickly from a name to a jail record. The roster contains the inmate name, mugshot, charges, and arrest date, so it can give a clear first look at the release timeline. That is why Union County Released Inmates searches should start locally. If the record is visible on the sheriff site, the county has already done the first part of the work.

These details make the local search easier:

• Full legal name and any alias already known
• Approximate arrest or release date
• Charge information from the roster
• Whether the mugshot or booking entry already matches the person

For custody alerts, a Union County search can also be paired with VINELink after the county roster has already identified the right person. That is useful when the question is not just who was booked, but whether the custody status later changed.

Union County Jail And Records

The jail contact is 865-992-6262, and the mailing address is Inmate Name, Union County Jail, 130 Veterans Street, Maynardville, TN 37807. Because the jail and sheriff office share the same street address, the local record trail is straightforward. A Union County Released Inmates question about mail, visitation, commissary, or a current jail status can usually start with the jail office and then move to the sheriff if more detail is needed. That keeps the record tied to the office that actually manages the inmate file.

The county records coordinator is Jason Bailey at 901 Main Street, Suite 100, Maynardville, TN 37807, with phone 865-992-3061. That office is the right place for broader county records that go beyond the online roster or the jail phone call. If a searcher needs copied public records, a written county request, or help understanding where a county record should be routed, the records coordinator is the clean next step. Union County's public access path is practical because the same small county network handles both the jail side and the records side.

The sheriff office also lists a dispatch line at 865-992-4062 and criminal investigations at 865-992-9407. Those numbers matter when a release question is really an arrest or booking question in disguise. A person may no longer be in jail, but the arrest record still sits with the office that made the original contact. In Union County, the sheriff office can separate the live custody question from the broader records question so the search does not wander.

Union County is 247 square miles and includes Maynardville, Luttrell, Sharps Chapel, and Plainview, so the county record trail is broad enough to cover several local communities but still focused enough to stay manageable. The sheriff office, jail, and county records coordinator together give the search a direct route through the county system. That makes Union County Released Inmates easier to verify than a search that starts too far away from the local source.

Note: The local roster and the jail contact are the primary Union County sources, so the state tools should stay in reserve until the county trail has been checked.

Union County Released Inmates State Follow Up

If the county roster does not answer the full question, Tennessee FOIL is the next state tool for Union County Released Inmates. FOIL becomes useful when the county case appears to have moved into TDOC custody or when the local record no longer explains the later release trail. It belongs after the Union County sheriff office and jail have already been checked, because the local roster is the best way to narrow the person and the date first.

The county-to-state handoff starts with the Tennessee FOIL search page, which is the official state source tied to the first image below.

That state page helps only after the county roster has already done the local work.

The broader statewide layer is the TBI criminal-history page. It adds statewide arrest-history context when a Union County Released Inmates search becomes a wider records question instead of a simple jail status check.

The TBI page is the second image-backed state source for Union County Released Inmates when the county record needs wider Tennessee context.

That wider state step works best after the county roster and jail phone have already narrowed the local answer.

When status changes matter, VINELink can also help with alerts once the county record has already identified the right person. The main rule stays the same. County first, then state follow-up only if the local trail leaves an open question.

Union County Public Access

Union County Released Inmates searches work well because the county offices are compact and specific. The sheriff office can confirm the roster entry. The jail can answer custody, mail, and visitation questions. The county records coordinator can handle broader public records when the request goes beyond what the roster shows. That gives Union County a clear public access path that stays close to the original jail event, which is exactly what you want when the question is about a release rather than a general history search.

The roster itself helps because it shows the inmate name, mugshot, charges, and arrest date. That is enough to line up the right person before the search widens. If the record is incomplete, the county office can still add useful detail through direct contact. If the person has already moved out of county custody, FOIL and TBI are the next official Tennessee resources to check. They can show a state custody trail that the county roster cannot.

Maynardville is the county seat, but the county also includes Luttrell, Sharps Chapel, and Plainview, so the local search may begin with a smaller community name and still end at the same sheriff office and jail. That makes Union County Released Inmates a good example of why county-first searching works. The local office has the record. The county records coordinator can support the request. The state tools only come into play when the local answer stops short.

That order keeps the record easier to trust. The county roster shows the booking detail. The jail explains the current custody status. The county records coordinator can support the copied record side. Then FOIL, TBI, and VINELink fill in anything else that lives outside county control. In a Union County Released Inmates search, that sequence is the clearest way to avoid jumping too quickly to a state record that does not fully explain the county event.

The local record starts on Veterans Street.

The state layer comes after that.
