New Houlka Arrests and Busted Records

New Houlka ranks as Chickasaw County's third-largest incorporated place on the county map. The 2020 Census incorporated-place table counts 698 residents there. The town runs its own police force, though anyone arrested ends up at the county's regional lockup when detention follows. That split shapes any record search. A New Houlka Police Department incident report, a county booking entry, and a court file sit with three different custodians. For something that happened inside town limits, the New Houlka Police Department comes first. Once a person lands in county custody, the Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility (CCRCF) handles current-inmate questions. The sheriff's office covers the jail docket, booking records, and any booking photo it keeps, subject to its review and redaction process.

The Chickasaw County records route lays out all of this county-wide, including what to request after a release or a transfer. It helps most when a town incident involves an outside agency or the booking destination is unclear.

Where New Houlka Busted Mugshots Appear

New Houlka has no verified arrest log, daily bulletin, or booking-photo page online. The county has no public photo roster either. So skip the hunt for a web list. Start with the office that created the record you need, then move to the facility, sheriff, court, or MDOC as the person's custody stage changes.

A third-party listing is not a town or county system. Keep that in mind before you trust what you find. It can lag behind after a release, transfer, or correction. Nothing at the city level has been verified for New Houlka. For real answers on custody and records, the police, sheriff, facility, and court channels are the ones that count. Note: A booking photograph may exist in the booking file even though no official web roster of photographs has been verified.

Find Busted New Houlka Bookings

With no online roster to search, figure out the agency and record type before anything else. A phone call settles current status fast. Historic booking records work better as written requests. One more caution applies here. A name missing from the internet does not mean no arrest happened. The person could have been released, transferred, cited without detention, held for another agency, or entered through a record path that never gets posted publicly.

1. Call New Houlka Police Department at 662-568-2745 for a town incident or arrest report. Ask who is the records custodian and whether a county booking followed.
2. For current county custody, call CCRCF at 662-456-3319. Provide the most exact spelling available and an approximate arrest date, then ask about custody, release, transfer, or another-agency status.
3. Call the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Department at 662-456-2339 before submitting a written request for the jail docket, booking record, or booking photograph. Include the name, date, town agency, and booking number if known.
4. If the person has left current custody, request the jail docket or booking record rather than assuming the record disappeared. Ask for the cited legal basis of any denial or redaction and for non-exempt material.
5. If the person has moved to state custody or supervision, search MDOC by name or MDOC ID. For the outcome of the New Houlka matter, continue to the municipal court or the clerk that identifies the correct file.

Mississippi Code Section 19-25-63 puts a public jail docket in the sheriff's hands. The core custody history sits inside it. So ask narrow. A targeted request beats a request for a broad image collection. Split the photograph off from the docket request too. That way the custodian can weigh the image on its own while still producing any non-exempt material.

New Houlka Police Records

For a New Houlka incident report, start with the town police department. Its public information names Chief Ray Laney. It also lists a department address and phone number. But no online request form exists. There is no arrest log, fee schedule, or response-time promise either. So call first. Give the name, date, and incident type, then ask where a written request should go.

The New Houlka Police Department official page supplies the department's contact details for any records inquiry.

That page tells you where to start for a town event. It offers no arrest log. It has no booking-photo display. And it is no stand-in for the county's custody record. For a county booking file, write to the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Department at 130 Lancaster Circle, Houston, MS 38851. Ask to inspect or copy the jail-docket entry, the booking record, and any booking photograph that is maintained and not exempt. Say that electronic copies are fine if available. Request a cost estimate before any charges accrue. Ask which statute supports anything withheld. Mississippi's Public Records Act frames how an office must respond. But it cannot force the instant release of a particular image. No booking-photo fee has been verified for New Houlka or Chickasaw County. Before authorizing any work, have the custodian spell out the copying, search, labor, redaction, certification, and delivery charges involved.

New Houlka Booking Destination

Arrests made in New Houlka that lead to county detention land at the Chickasaw County Regional Correctional Facility. The address is 120 Lancaster Circle in Houston. The phone number on file with MDOC is 662-456-3319. CCRCF runs as a regional operation. The sheriff holds authority, and MDOC plays a role. One thing to keep straight, though. Its Houston location does not turn a New Houlka police matter into a Houston police record. Nor does it mean everyone held there is serving a state sentence.

MDOC's public locator serves a specific purpose. It tracks people in state custody after a sentence, a transfer, or placement under MDOC supervision. It is not a reliable place to hunt for booking photos. And it cannot replace a direct call to CCRCF when the question is local custody. Use the most exact name you have, plus an MDOC ID if you can get one. Then confirm the status and facility with the agency itself rather than trusting a name match.

New Houlka Arrest News Limits

New Houlka has no crime blotter of its own. No recurring booking feed exists for the town. Regional outlets sometimes fold it into a wider county story, but that coverage skips plenty of arrests and never works as a live custody list. WCBI's 2017 story on three Chickasaw County sheriff arrests is one example. It named a person described as being from Houlka. Treat it as older county coverage, not a town report or a current feed.

News timing and jail timing rarely match. An agency might announce an event before the booking is even finished. A follow-up story can run after someone has been released or moved. A report gives you a date and a lead, nothing more. The police department, CCRCF, the sheriff, and the right court hold the actual record and whatever came after it.

Mugshots in the News lays out the county's full outlet inventory and how a story connects to an official record. It will not turn any article into a town arrest list, though.

New Houlka Court Records

A city police report and a county booking record do not settle which court will handle the case later. The county court directory gives New Houlka Municipal Court the number 662-568-2745. But depending on the charge and the district, the better contact could be a county Justice Court or one of the two Circuit Clerks. Ask a clerk to pin down the court and the case file instead of assuming the town police line resolves a county matter.

Statewide court resources and Court Explorer details sit on the Mississippi Courts useful-links page. The county directory lists the First District Circuit Clerk in Houston at 662-456-2331 and the Second District clerk in Okolona at 662-447-2838. Which district applies depends on the case, so treat these numbers as routing tools rather than one combined New Houlka court database.

Charges change over the life of a case. They can be amended, dismissed, nolle prossed, reduced, resolved through non-adjudication, or settled by plea or trial. Bond is not a sentence. A release date is not an acquittal. Check the court disposition before drawing any conclusion from the initial New Houlka arrest or booking record.

New Houlka Busted Timing

No verified public timing promise exists for the town or Chickasaw County. Not for new bookings, photos, or roster entries. There is no confirmed same-day, weekly, or archived county booking feed anywhere. A quiet web search can mean many things: intake lag, a fast release, a transfer, a citation with no detention, an outside-agency hold, a protected record, or no booking at all.

County records show at least one law-enforcement event that made the news while the jail still showed no booking. That example is not about New Houlka, but the lesson travels. An event report and a county booking are separate records. They do not have to surface at the same moment. Calling the originating police agency and CCRCF directly beats guessing at a posting window every time.

Need a current answer? Call CCRCF. Want the historical custody sequence? Request the sheriff's jail docket and booking record. Chasing the case result? Contact the municipal court or the clerk who can identify the proper district. The path runs from town event, to county custody, to court.

Note: Write down the date of any custody response, since status can shift after release, transfer, bond, or an outside-agency hold.
