Ferry County Jail Inmate Roster

The Ferry County Jail sits at 165 N. Jefferson Ave in Republic. Sheriff Ray Maycumber runs the office and the jail. Phone is 509-775-2906. The jail has 92 beds with an emergency capacity of 110. That is small by Washington standards, but it still serves the whole of Ferry County including the Colville Reservation areas that fall in the county. The Sheriff publishes daily booking logs and current rosters as PDF files on the official site.

To view the online roster, head to the Ferry County Inmate Roster page. The list shows name, booking date, and charges. It updates each business day. Under RCW 70.48.100, the jail roster is a public record open to anyone.

The Ferry County inmate roster is the main source for a current booking lookup.

Each line on the roster names the person in jail, the hour and date of booking, and the cause. That matches what state law says must be made public. The roster also shows release times for people who have left custody in the past day or two. Write down the booking number when you find one. Ferry County staff use that number on every form tied to the inmate.

Ferry County Booking Reports Public Records

Some Ferry County booking reports are not on the daily roster. Older bookings, full incident files, body cam video, and booking photos need a formal public records request. Send your request to the Ferry County Sheriff's Office, 165 N. Jefferson Ave, Republic, WA 99166. The Sheriff has five business days to respond under RCW 42.56, the Washington Public Records Act. The office may give you the records, ask for more info, deny with a reason, or give you a date the files will be ready.

Some info gets held back under RCW 10.97, the Washington Criminal Records Privacy Act. That includes juvenile booking records, sealed cases, and certain witness data. Booking photos are usually held back unless they help an active case. The Sheriff's staff will tell you up front what can be released.

Note: Ferry County booking reports fall under the same open records rules as every jail in the state, so most routine roster data is free to view.

How to Find a Ferry County Inmate

Start with a name. The Ferry County roster is small enough that you can scan the whole list in a minute. Look for the booking date, the charges, and the booking number. If the name is not there, call the jail at 509-775-2906. New bookings can take a few hours to show up on the PDF roster.

Here are the main steps to find a Ferry County booking record:

• Open the daily Ferry County inmate roster PDF
• Scan for the last name you need
• Note the booking date and charges
• Call the jail if the name is not listed
• File a records request for older files

For state prison inmates, use the Washington DOC inmate search. Ferry County booking reports only cover local jail time, not DOC stays. For a statewide criminal record, use WATCH from the Washington State Patrol.

Ferry County Booking Reports and Courts

Every booking that leads to charges ends up in Ferry County District Court or Ferry County Superior Court. District Court handles most misdemeanor cases and small claims. Superior Court handles felonies and family law. You can cross check a booking number against the court docket on the Washington Courts public case search. That shows the case number, hearings, and judge. The jail booking report and the court file together give you a full view of the case.

Ferry County is rural, so court dockets move a bit slower than in the big counties. A booking made on a weekend may not hit the court docket until Monday or Tuesday. Plan your search around that. The court clerk can pull a certified copy of any filing if you need one. Clerk fees apply to certified copies, but basic viewing is free.

Ferry County Sheriff and Local Agencies

Ferry County is mostly covered by the Sheriff. There are only a few small towns with their own police. Republic Police handles calls in the county seat. The Sheriff covers the rest, including the huge rural stretches north of Curlew Lake and along the Kettle River. All of those arrests end up at the same Ferry County jail in Republic. That keeps the booking reports pretty easy to track since there is only one place to look.

The Colville Tribal Police also operate in parts of Ferry County that sit on the Colville Reservation. Tribal bookings may not show on the county roster. For those, contact the tribal police or the Bureau of Indian Affairs. State and federal law treat tribal lands as a separate system, so the Ferry County booking reports do not always cover every arrest in the area.

Note: The daily jail roster only shows Ferry County bookings, not tribal or federal holdings.

Ferry County Sheriff's Office
