Wilkes County Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, arrange a visit, or pull an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record or person.
Choose the Correct Official Office
Wilkes County uses separate contacts for county custody, police records, and court files. Published pages do not state general public counter hours for the Sheriff or jail, so call before visiting and ask the office to confirm its current service hours, records procedure, any copy cost, and the correct custodian.

Use the route that matches the question:
- For a booking record or possible photograph, begin with the countywide arrest and records-request explanation, then ask the Sheriff which custodian holds the item.
- For probation, parole, or sentenced state custody, use the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction offender search linked from the county custody guide.
- For someone who may have been arrested today, review Arrested Today, then use VINE or call the jail. Wilkes has no verified public same-day feed.
- For a multi-day history, use Arrest Reports and check the continuing case with the Clerk or eCourts. Selective news is not a complete blotter.
- For custody status, a release date, or release alerts, use the VINE Arrest Check. A missing result is not proof that no arrest occurred.
- For a municipal arrest report, contact the arresting department. North Wilkesboro Police is 336-838-3158, while Wilkesboro Police is 336-667-7277.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator described on the county hub. Those systems do not replace the county jail check.
A booked charge is an accusation and may change in court. Only the originating agency, jail, or court can confirm the current official record. For a non-urgent records question, provide a narrow date range, full name, incident or case number when known, and a precise description of the material sought.
