How Sutter County Bookings Work
Sutter County has one jail facility. Every arrest in the county leads to this single booking point. The Yuba City Police Department, Live Oak Police, and the sheriff's own patrol deputies all bring arrested people here. The California Highway Patrol also makes arrests in the area. All of these agencies feed into the same Sutter County booking system, which means one search covers everything.
The booking process creates a record with the arrested person's full name, date of birth, physical details, all charges, the time of arrest, and bail amount. Fingerprints and photos are taken during the process. Under California law, this booking data is public information that anyone can request. Government Code Section 7923.600 requires law enforcement to release names, charges, bail amounts, arrest times, and custody locations for all people booked into a Sutter County jail. You can get this data through the online portal or by calling the sheriff's office directly.
Note: Sutter County sits right next to Yuba County, and the two share a metro area around Yuba City and Marysville, so make sure you are checking the right county's records.
Sutter County Arrest Record Access
Your right to see Sutter County booking reports comes from the California Public Records Act. The sheriff must respond to records requests within 10 days. You do not need to give a reason for your request. Basic booking data is always available.
A booking report is not the same as a criminal history. Booking reports from Sutter County cover one arrest. They are public. Full criminal histories that show all past arrests are restricted under Penal Code Section 13300. Only the person themselves can request their own full history through the California DOJ for a $25 fee. If all you need is a single Sutter County booking report, you can get it from the sheriff's office without restrictions.
People arrested in Sutter County who are not convicted can petition to have their booking records sealed under Penal Code Section 851.91. Once sealed, those records will not show up in public Sutter County searches. The sealing process requires a court petition and is not automatic.
Sutter County VINE Notifications
The California VINE system works in Sutter County. Register for free custody change alerts. You get notified when someone is released, transferred, or escapes from the Sutter County jail. Pick phone, email, or text for your notifications. VINE is useful if you need to track someone's Sutter County custody status over time rather than just checking once.
