This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release anyone, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull an official booking record. For those actions, use the official office or locator that holds the record.
Where to Ask for Records
For current Butler County jail questions, start with the Butler County Sheriff's Office and Butler County Detention Center. Sheriff Tom Dion's office is listed at 451 N 5th Street, David City, NE 68632. The main phone number is 402-367-7400, and the fax number is 402-367-3222. Published county material did not list separate public jail lobby hours or a separate jail records-unit line, so call the main sheriff number before traveling or sending a request.
The Butler County Attorney is Julie Reiter. The county attorney page lists 402-367-7470 for that office, which handles prosecution of felony and misdemeanor crimes occurring in Butler County. For court-filed charges, use the local county court and district court routing after a case has been opened.
- For a person who may be held locally, begin with jail inmate records and the Butler County Sheriff's Office at 402-367-7400.
- For a booking photograph request, review jail roster mugshots and ask the sheriff's office whether the photo is releasable as a public record.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest, Butler County Court, the Clerk of District Court, or Nebraska JUSTICE case search.
- For facility details, use the Butler County Detention Center page linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced Nebraska state prisoner, search the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services incarceration records locator.
- For release notifications, use the Nebraska Victims of Crime Alert Portal, also known as NEVCAP.
- For federal sentenced custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
