Maryville Quick Facts
Maryville Booking Records Search
The Blount County Sheriff's Office runs the InmateNOW search portal that covers all Maryville bookings. The system updates every 24 hours. You can look up anyone held at the Blount County Adult Detention Facility by name, booking number, or date of birth. Results show the person's charges, bond amount, intake date, and custody status. Each entry also includes a booking photo when one is available.
The InmateNOW system gives you several ways to search. You can browse an alphabetical listing by last name. You can also type in a specific name and get results fast. The portal shows the person's sex, race, intake date, and criminal class. If someone was arrested by the Maryville Police Department, the system notes that as the arresting agency.
No account is needed. The search is free. Just go to the site and look up a name. If the person is in custody at the Blount County jail, their record will show up. Keep in mind that very recent Maryville arrests may take up to 24 hours to appear because the system updates on a daily cycle rather than in real time.
How Maryville Booking Works
When someone gets arrested in Maryville, the police officer transports them to the Blount County Adult Detention Facility at 920 East Lamar Alexander Parkway. That facility has a capacity of 350 inmates. Staff at the jail log the person into the booking system, take a photo, and record the charges. This data feeds into the InmateNOW portal that shows Maryville 24 hour booking records.
Under TCA 40-7-103, officers must bring arrested persons before a magistrate without unnecessary delay. Bond gets set based on the charges. A judicial commissioner reviews the amount using schedules allowed under TCA 40-11-118. Some offenses in Maryville carry mandatory hold periods before a person can post bail. For persons who qualify, release on own recognizance may be an option under TCA 40-11-105 if they show ties to the community and are not a flight risk.
The Blount County Sheriff's Office is a CALEA accredited agency. Sheriff James L. Berrong leads the department. In 2019, the jail booked 6,379 inmates total across the county. Maryville arrests make up a large share of that number since Maryville is the county seat and the biggest city in Blount County.
Note: Public access terminals are available at the Blount County Justice Center at 928 East Lamar Alexander Parkway for searching inmate records in person.
