Identify which Washington County made the arrest

Washington County DUI arrests cannot be searched reliably from the county name alone. Establish the state, city, arresting agency and approximate date from a citation or other reliable paperwork. This guide uses Washington County, Oregon and Washington County, Tennessee as distinct examples; they are not the only Washington Counties and their systems are not connected into one search.

Also separate the record needed: a recent booking, current custody, the police incident report, or the court’s later DUI disposition. The person may have been booked and released before you search. A missing current-inmate entry therefore does not answer whether an earlier arrest occurred.

Oregon: start with the 24-hour arrest and release log

The Oregon sheriff labels its service a 24-Hour Arrest and Release Log. It says the report is generally updated every two hours and supplies the Washington County Jail number, 503-846-2600, for questions. The application presents a CAPTCHA before access. Its public description establishes the search window; it is not a historical list of every DUII arrest.

Save the booking date, charge wording and available reference only after confirming the correct person. An entry records an arrest or release event, not the final court result. For an older event outside the window, move to the arresting agency’s records process rather than treating the short log as an exhaustive archive.

Oregon: request the sheriff’s incident report separately

For a Washington County Oregon Sheriff’s Office report, use its online Public Records Request Center or apply in person at the Criminal Records Section, 215 SW Adams Avenue, Hillsboro, OR 97123. The records phone is 503-846-2524. Provide the incident date, location, involved names and report or citation number if known, and identify the specific report or booking record sought.

The sheriff promises a response within five business days, not completion of every copy request within that period. Reports are individually reviewed; active investigations, medical information, juvenile protections and other restrictions can limit release. Some older material has passed retention and is no longer stored. Request a fee estimate and available delivery options before authorizing a broad search.

Tennessee: distinguish current inmates from weekly bookings

The Tennessee sheriff’s site provides a Current Inmates portal for the detention center and a separate Weekly Bookings PDF. Choose the one matching your question and read the period stated on the document. The sheriff’s office is at 112 West Jackson Boulevard, Jonesborough, TN 37659, phone 423-788-1414; the detention center at 114 West Jackson Boulevard lists 423-753-1701.

Use the sheriff’s own links rather than an old downloaded intake sheet or a similarly named county website. If a search fails, ask the detention center about the relevant custody record or the sheriff about the incident-record custodian. A jail may hold a person arrested by a city department, so the jail and police report may come from different offices.

Tennessee: route a copy request through the county coordinator

Washington County’s public-records page directs requests to the County Attorney’s Office, P.O. Box 555, Jonesborough, TN 37659, at 423-753-4864 or [email protected]. For copies, use Form 1 and the required proof of Tennessee citizenship. Describe the specific existing record and arrest date so the coordinator can send it to the correct custodian.

The linked policy says inspection alone is free and cannot be required in writing, despite the webpage’s broader written-request wording. It lists black-and-white copies at 15 cents per page and color at 50 cents, plus eligible labor after the first hour and delivery costs. Ask for the itemized estimate. If records cannot be provided promptly, the policy calls for a response within seven business days, not guaranteed production.

Follow an Oregon DUII case to the court order

Washington County Circuit Court’s criminal guidance describes DUII diversion for qualifying cases, which is another reason not to equate a booking charge with a conviction. Locate the actual court and case number from the citation. The Circuit Court offers a case-file copy web form, in-person access and mail requests; use the court that handled the proceeding if it is elsewhere.

For that Circuit Court, ordinary paper copies cost $3 per case request plus 25 cents per page; paper certification is $5 plus copying, and emailed electronic documents are $3 per case request with electronic certification listed at $5. Mailing costs are additional and payment is due before completion. Confirm that the recipient accepts electronic certification before choosing it.

Build a small, precise outcome request

For a Washington County Oregon Circuit Court copy, supply the complete party name, case number or filing year, named documents, certification choice, delivery preference and your contact details. Mail requests go to Records Department, 150 N. 1st Avenue MS 37, Hillsboro, OR 97124. Ask for the order resolving the DUII charge rather than assuming a diversion entry is a final dismissal.

For Tennessee, use the court identified on the citation or booking reference and ask its clerk for the charge’s disposition. The county public-record copying schedule is not automatically that court’s certified-copy schedule. Ask the court for its price and delivery terms rather than carrying Oregon’s fees or the county coordinator’s page rate across jurisdictions.

Resolve identity and status before using the result

Check state, agency, date and the relevant case or booking number together. If you believe a sheriff’s entry is wrong, take the exact reference and supporting paperwork to that agency; if the dispute concerns the judgment, contact the holding court. Keep the correction response with the original research so a later reader can see what changed.

If the state remains unknown, stop short of an attribution. If the record is withheld, retain the stated basis and ask the custodian about the proper review route. Neither an unavailable police report nor a no-result screen establishes that the person has no record, and neither example county supplies a statewide criminal-history certificate.
