Lincoln County 24 Hour Booking
Lincoln County 24 Hour Booking records list every person booked into the Lincoln County Jail in the last day. The jail sits in Davenport, the county seat, and is run by the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. Use this page to search the jail roster, find the sheriff's contact info, and learn how to pull a booking record under state law. Lincoln County is a small, rural county in eastern Washington, and its 24 hour booking list is usually short, which makes it easy to spot a new name fast.
Lincoln County 24 Hour Booking Overview
Lincoln County Jail Roster
The Lincoln County Jail is the local booking site in Davenport. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office runs the facility and keeps the jail register required by RCW 70.48.100. The jail holds pre-trial and sentenced inmates from Davenport, Reardan, Odessa, Sprague, Wilbur, and the rest of the county.
The Lincoln County inmate roster is the first place to look. It lists each booking with the name, date, and charges. Smaller counties like Lincoln may not update in real time, but the roster is refreshed during the day as deputies process new bookings. Call the sheriff's office when the online page does not show the person you need to find.
Note: The Lincoln County jail register is public, but booking photos, medical notes, and classification files stay confidential under state law.
How to Find a Lincoln County Booking
Start with a last name. Type it into the roster and review the matches. Check the booking date and the charges to confirm. If the name is not there, the person may have been released, moved to a state prison, or booked in a neighboring county.
What you can see on a Lincoln County 24 hour booking entry:
- Full name and aliases
- Date and time of booking
- Arresting agency
- Charges at intake
- Bail or bond if set
- Next court date when known
The DOC Incarcerated Search is the next step when a person leaves the county jail for a state prison term. It finds people held by the Washington Department of Corrections by name or DOC number.
Lincoln County Public Records
If the roster does not have what you need, file a public records request with Lincoln County. The Lincoln County public records page lists the steps. Requests follow the Washington Public Records Act in RCW 42.56. The county has five business days to respond, even if the full record takes longer to pull.
Keep the request simple. Name the date or date range. Name the person you want to find. Ask for jail register entries that match. Fees are small and most counties charge 15 cents per printed page. You can send the request by email, mail, or in person at the county office in Davenport.
The state Attorney General's Open Government Resource Manual shows the right way to word a request and what to do if the county is slow to reply.
Courts and 24 Hour Booking in Lincoln County
After a booking, the case moves to the Lincoln County District Court or the Lincoln County Superior Court. District court handles misdemeanors and traffic. Superior court takes felonies. First appearances are set within one court day. The Odyssey Portal shows case details and hearing dates for many Washington courts.
The Washington Courts case search is the wider gateway to trial court records. VINELink is the free victim notification tool used by Washington jails. Sign up to get a phone or text alert when a Lincoln County inmate is released, moved, or re-booked.
State Resources for Lincoln County
Lincoln County ties into the same state tools used by larger counties. The Washington State Patrol criminal history page runs WATCH, the state's name-based conviction history check under RCW 10.97. The MRSC jail services page explains how small Washington counties like Lincoln run their jails and what they must disclose.
Also useful: the MRSC criminal history guide and the Lincoln County government portal. The main county site links to every department, including the sheriff, the courts, and the records office.
Note: WATCH gives a name-based conviction report, but it does not show fresh bookings, so check the Lincoln County roster first for a new arrest.
Contact the Lincoln County Sheriff
The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office in Davenport takes all jail and booking calls. Staff can confirm if a person is in custody, the booking date, and the charges on the public register. They cannot share medical or classification info. For emergencies, dial 911. For non-urgent questions, use the sheriff phone number posted on the county site.
The sheriff's office also coordinates with the Washington State Patrol, the Spokane County Sheriff, and other nearby agencies when a case crosses county lines. That is common in rural Lincoln County, so it helps to check more than one county roster when you are tracking a person.
What a Lincoln County 24 Hour Booking Shows
Each row on the Lincoln County jail register holds a short set of fields. You will see the full legal name, the booking date and time, the arresting agency, and the charges at intake. Bail amounts may show on the same line. The jail register is the only part of the file that the public can see by right.
The fields come straight from RCW 70.48.100. Names, dates, and the legal reason for the hold are all public. Photos, classification notes, and medical files stay out of the public 24 hour booking list. The MRSC law enforcement records page walks through the same line in plain words.
If a field is missing on the Lincoln County roster, ask the records office in Davenport. Staff can confirm small details by phone when the live page is slow.
Court Records After a Lincoln County Booking
A booking in Davenport is the first step in a longer case. Most Lincoln County matters move to a first appearance in district or superior court within one business day. The judge sets bail then. The court date often shows on the jail roster the next day, and the case number ties the booking to the court file.
The Washington Odyssey Portal shows Lincoln County Superior Court filings. The Washington Courts case search covers Lincoln County District Court files. Both tools update as the clerk enters new data. For sentenced cases, the DOC Incarcerated Search picks up after the person leaves the local jail for a state prison term.
