Faribault County Jail Mugshots
Minnesota law is favorable to public access to booking photographs, but the research did not verify that Faribault County Jail publishes mugshots on the public custody report. The official roster is a Bevcomm ASP report linked from the county jail page. Direct inspection of the full report failed from the research environment, and search snippets did not confirm photos. The right local wording is narrow: Faribault County has an official custody report, and Minnesota law generally makes booking photos public, but visible roster mugshots were not confirmed.
No separate official Faribault County recent-booking gallery, daily mugshot gallery, or sheriff mobile app was found. The active warrant list is also a static report, and the snippet reviewed showed name, issue date, and offense level style information, not photos. If a booking photo is needed and the roster does not show it, use the Faribault County Sheriff's Office and county data-practices route.
Find Faribault County Mugshots
The search path begins with the same official custody report used for current inmate records. Because the roster appears to be a static report rather than a form search, open the full list and use browser find for the person's name. If a photo appears, treat it as a booking image tied to that custody event. If no photo appears, do not assume the photo does not exist. It may be kept as law-enforcement data without being displayed in the public web report.
- Open the official Faribault County Jail custody list from the county jail page.
- Use browser find for the person's name and confirm the report date.
- Check the entry for any visible image or booking-photo field, without assuming one must be present.
- If no image appears, ask the sheriff's office how to request the booking photograph under Minnesota Chapter 13.
- For formal charges or court outcomes, search MCRO rather than relying on roster text alone.
For the broader current-custody process, the companion Faribault County inmate records page covers roster fields, jail phone options, DOC lookup, federal locators, and VINE notification paths.
Faribault County Photo Fields
The roster sample-record inventory is intentionally cautious. Some counties publish a photo, name, age, booking date, charges, bond, and housing fields in a profile view. Faribault County's report was not verified at that level. The fields below separate observed or snippet-supported data from unverified photo-related fields.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking photo | Not verified on the Faribault County public roster. Request through data practices if not shown. |
| Name | The person listed in the custody report. |
| Report date/time | The date or time for the public custody-list snapshot. |
| Arresting agency | Snippet examples include Blue Earth Police Department and the Faribault County Sheriff's Office. |
| Charges | Public charge labels or abbreviated charge text tied to the custody entry. |
| Status | Status wording such as pending when displayed. |
| Bond or housing | Not verified as public roster fields; confirm through jail or court records. |
A mugshot is not proof of guilt. It is an identification image taken in connection with an arrest or booking. The court record decides charges, hearings, disposition, and any sealing or expungement order.
Are Faribault County Mugshots Public?
Under Minnesota law, booking photographs are generally public data. Minnesota Statutes 13.82, subdivision 26, defines a booking photograph as a photograph or electronically produced image taken by law enforcement for identification in connection with an arrest. Except as otherwise provided, that photo is public data. A law-enforcement agency may temporarily withhold access if release would adversely affect an active investigation.
Key Statutes:
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13 presumes government data are public unless state or federal law classifies them otherwise.
Minnesota Statutes 13.82 treats booking photographs as public law-enforcement data, with temporary withholding allowed for active-investigation harm.
Minnesota Statutes 13.85 covers corrections and detention data classifications for people in custody settings.
That legal rule does not mean every booking photo appears on every county roster. A record can be public and still require a request. Faribault County's own data-practices policy is the practical route when a photo is not posted.
What Faribault County Publishes
The online custody report is a public roster route, not a confirmed mugshot gallery. The research did not locate a Faribault County Sheriff app, app-only roster, app-only warrant search, or separate most-wanted photo feature. The county also did not publish a local mugshot-removal policy in the sources reviewed. These gaps should be kept clear because readers often expect a photo gallery when a county only offers a custody report.
What is and is not public: Minnesota generally makes booking photographs public, but Faribault County roster photo display was not verified. Photos can be requested, while release may be delayed or denied when a lawful exception applies.
Roster data is also time sensitive. A person may be booked, released, transported to court, moved to state DOC custody, or held under another agency's authority before a public page reflects the change. For victim or public custody notification, Minnesota VINE is a separate notification channel and is not the same as a mugshot source.
Request Faribault County Photos
Use a Chapter 13 data request when the booking photo is not visible online. The county policy says written public requests may be made by mail, fax, or email using the county form, or by a written request that clearly describes the data. A request should state that it is made under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, identify the booking photograph or related jail record as clearly as possible, and say whether inspection, copies, or both are sought.
The county cannot require a public requester to identify themself or explain the reason for the request. Contact information may still be useful so the county can clarify the request, send copies, or tell the requester whether a charge applies. Public inspection is free. Copies may be charged. The located jail and civil fee schedule lists "Police Report Request - Photos" at $25 and "Police Report Request - Video" at $50, but the sheriff's office should confirm whether those fees apply to a specific booking-photo request.
| Request Channel | Use It For | Research Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Roster check | First look for any visible photo tied to a current custody entry. | Photo display was not verified. |
| Jail phone | Ask how the sheriff handles booking-photo and jail-record requests. | Call 507-526-5148 before appearing in person. |
| Written data request | Request a booking photograph or related public jail data. | Inspection is free; copies may be charged. |
| In person | Use the Law Enforcement Center for local records routing when appropriate. | Business office hours are not the same as all jail operations. |
Faribault County Mugshot Removal
No official Faribault County mugshot-removal policy was found. Official records are changed, sealed, withheld, or released under law, agency determination, or court order. If a case is dismissed or later expunged, the records-clearing route runs through the court process and the record-originating agency, not through a commercial removal service. The court-focused background for dismissal, case status, and sealing appears on the Faribault County court records after jail arrest page.
A person seeking removal or restricted access should keep copies of any court order and provide it to the agency that holds the record. Expungement means a court sealing process that limits public access to certain records. It does not automatically prove that every copied image on the internet will vanish. The reliable path is to deal with the court order and the official record holder.
Photos Versus Court Records
Booking photos are law-enforcement records. Court files serve a different purpose. A court record may show a complaint, hearing date, charge status, warrant, disposition, or expungement action, but it is not the default source for a jail booking image. If the goal is to learn what happened after the arrest, search Minnesota Court Records Online and the Faribault County District Court record. If the goal is to find a booking image, use the roster first and the sheriff's data-practices process second.
- Booking photograph
- An identification image taken by law enforcement in connection with an arrest.
- Charge
- An alleged offense listed by jail staff or by the prosecutor in court records.
- Disposition
- The court outcome on a charge, such as dismissal, conviction, or another ruling.
- Expungement
- A court sealing process that limits public access to some records.
State and Federal Photos
Faribault County Jail is not a state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. The Minnesota Department of Corrections locator covers sentenced adults committed to the Commissioner of Corrections and still under DOC jurisdiction. It is a post-sentencing state custody system, not the county jail roster. The state prison named Minnesota Correctional Facility-Faribault is in Rice County, not Faribault County.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator focuses on federal inmate identity, location, and release information for federal custody from 1982 to present. Federal agencies such as BOP and U.S. Marshals generally do not publish public mugshot galleries through those locator tools. ICE's Online Detainee Locator System searches eligible adults by A-number and country of birth or by biographical information. ICE ODLS is also not a mugshot source.
Note: A person can move from county jail to state or federal custody, which changes the lookup system and may remove the person from the county roster.
