Find Sevier County 24 Hour Booking Records
Sevier County 24 hour booking records are available through the county's iSOMS online portal. The Sevier County Sheriff's Office runs one of the more detailed jail search systems in Tennessee, partly because of the heavy tourist traffic through Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. You can pull up 24 hour and 72 hour arrest lists directly from the iSOMS site. This page shows you how to search the Sevier County booking system, what data each record contains, and other ways to check on arrests in the county.
Sevier County Quick Facts
Sevier County 24 Hour Arrest List
The Sevier County 24 hour arrest list is the fastest way to see who was booked into the jail in the past day. The iSOMS system updates in real time as new arrests come through. Each entry shows the person's full name, age, race, sex, and custody classification. You also get the exact intake date and time, the city where the person lives, and which agency made the arrest.
Sevier County gets arrests from multiple agencies. The Sevier County Sheriff's Office, Sevierville Police, Pigeon Forge Police, and Gatlinburg Police all book people into the same county jail. This is important to know because the tourism draws millions of visitors each year. A public intoxication arrest in Gatlinburg and a drug possession case in Pigeon Forge both end up on the same Sevier County booking list. The system shows which specific officer handled the arrest, so you can tell exactly where and by whom the booking was initiated.

What Sevier County Booking Records Show
Sevier County booking records are more detailed than what many Tennessee counties provide. Each record shows the full inmate name in all caps, their age at booking, and race and sex codes like W/M, B/F, or H/M. The custody classification is very specific. It goes beyond just "pretrial" or "convicted" and breaks it down into categories like pretrial felon, pretrial misdemeanant, convicted felon, convicted misdemeanant, TDOC hold, immigration detainee, and probation violator.
The charge list on each Sevier County booking record shows every count with its bond amount. Common charges that appear on the Sevier County 24 hour booking list include domestic assault, DUI, drug possession, simple possession of meth, public intoxication, shoplifting, theft of property, driving on a suspended license, and probation violations. More serious charges like drug sale and delivery, sexual exploitation of a minor, and possession of a firearm during a felony also come through. Bond amounts range from $0 holds to over $100,000 for the worst charges.
Note: If an inmate has been released, the release date appears on the record in the Sevier County iSOMS system.

Sevier County Arrest Records and Public Access
Arrest and booking records in Sevier County are public under the Tennessee Public Records Act. T.C.A. § 10-7-503 makes government records open to inspection. The iSOMS portal is one way the county fulfills this obligation by posting real-time booking data for free. For records not on the portal, you can file a formal request with the Sevier County Sheriff's Office.
Tennessee residency is typically needed for certain records requests under state law. Copy fees are based on actual cost per T.C.A. § 10-7-504. The office must respond within seven business days. Juvenile records are sealed and cannot be released. Active investigations may also limit what the sheriff shares. But the vast majority of adult Sevier County booking records are fully public and available either through the online portal or a records request.
The Tennessee court system at tncourts.gov shows what happens after a booking in Sevier County turns into a case. Docket entries, hearing dates, and court outcomes are searchable there. The TBI background check system through TORIS costs $29 and provides a full criminal history report that goes beyond just the local Sevier County booking record.
Sevier County Booking Volume and Arresting Agencies
Sevier County sees more booking activity than its resident population of 98,000 would suggest. The tourism industry in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville brings millions of visitors each year. Many of the people on the Sevier County 24 hour booking list are not local residents. The city of residence field in each booking record makes this clear, as you will see addresses from all over the country on the list.
Four main agencies feed into the Sevier County jail. The Sevier County Sheriff's Office handles unincorporated areas and warrant service. Sevierville Police cover the county seat. Pigeon Forge Police handle arrests in the tourist corridor along Parkway. Gatlinburg Police deal with the mountain resort town. All of these agencies book through the same county jail, so every arrest shows up on the same Sevier County 24 hour booking list regardless of which department made it.
