Official Grant County Contacts

This private reference site is not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the office that holds the record instead.


Find the Right Office

For a sheriff report or routing a written Freedom of Information Act request, contact Grant County Sheriff’s Department, 5 Highland Avenue, Petersburg, WV 26847, 304-257-1818, gcsher@sheriff.state.wv.us. The research found no dedicated sheriff records line or published booking-photo fee. For regional jail custody and a PHRJ booking request, use Potomac Highlands Regional Jail and Correctional Facility, 355 Dolan Drive, Augusta, WV 26704, 304-496-1275. PHRJ serves five counties, so provide the arrest date and agency.

Court outcomes belong with the courts. Circuit Clerk Melanie R. Redman is at Grant County Courthouse, 5 Highland Avenue, Petersburg, WV 26847, 304-257-4545. Magistrate Clerk Cheryl L. Bergdoll is at 4 North Main Street, Petersburg, WV 26847, 304-257-4637. Use the official WVDCR locator for recent regional custody, the court system for disposition, and the appropriate federal locator for a federal matter.

  • Use the home record path for OIS, daily admissions, court, and request steps.
  • Use Sheriff's Most Wanted for the official magistrate and sheriff warrant-check route.
  • Ask PHRJ or WVDCR about a regional booking image if OIS does not display one.
  • Ask the arresting city department or municipality to route a city incident request.
  • For a state-prison record, begin with the WVDCR offender-search hub.
  • For a federal sentenced inmate, use the Bureau of Prisons locator rather than a county roster.
