Chapel Hill Recent Arrests

The Chapel Hill Police Department serves the town under Chief Andrew Kon. Its address is 119 North Horton Parkway, Chapel Hill, Tennessee 37034. The phone number is (931) 364-4136. After hours, that same line takes non-emergency calls; press 0 for a dispatcher.

Chapel Hill counted 1,717 residents in the 2020 Census. Outside its coverage area, the police page sends people to the Marshall County Sheriff's Office at (931) 359-6122. That line offers dispatch too. The boundary matters. A news headline can say Chapel Hill while a different agency handled the event.

Once a Chapel Hill arrestee enters Marshall County custody, the county takes over the booking record. The JailTracker portal becomes the source. A citation, a release, or a transfer can leave a police record with no county inmate profile behind it. Another holding agency can do the same. The alert archive holds announcements, not a full roster.

Where Chapel Hill Arrests Are Published

Chapel Hill keeps an official alerts archive. The town publishes no daily booking list, weekly blotter, or public mugshot gallery, so match each source to the record it holds.

No Tennessee Marshall County sheriff booking app exists. Do not substitute the prominent Alabama Marshall County app, roster, or wanted list.

Arrested in Chapel Hill: Finding a Booking

Keep two questions apart: custody and the police report. JailTracker is the first official source for anyone believed to be in Marshall County custody. The town holds the underlying Chapel Hill report.

1. Search the county roster by first and last name.
2. Compare middle name, original booking time, arresting agency, and charge details.
3. Open the individual charge and image panels when available.
4. Check the Chapel Hill alerts archive only for announcements, not as proof of completeness.
5. Request the town report from the recorder and the booking file from the sheriff.
6. Ask the clerk for the case disposition.

The county promises no booking-to-post delay. A fresh entry can lag during intake and synchronization. The same-day search process explains why “not yet visible” fits better than “not booked.”

An empty image panel is not the end. Ask the sheriff for the maintained booking photograph.

Chapel Hill Police Department Records

The police page routes records requests to Town Recorder Amy Davis at (931) 364-7632 or amydavis@townofchapelhilltn.gov. The town public-records policy and form spells out the steps. Ask the town for its report. Ask the sheriff for the booking record.

The policy calls for prompt production when practicable. If the town needs time to locate, review, redact, or decide whether a record is open, it sends a response form within seven business days. That deadline is a notice requirement. It does not guarantee production within seven days.

The town follows the state reasonable-charge schedule: $0.15 per black-and-white page and $0.50 per color page, plus labor, medium, or vendor costs. No special booking-photo fee is published. Describe the person, date range, record type, and incident number if known. Then request an estimate.

Chapel Hill Arrest Coverage and News

The Marshall County Post covers Chapel Hill police investigations and county events on an editorial, intermittent schedule. Arrests.org lists Chapel Hill Police as an agency filter on its Marshall County page. That commercial page is unofficial. It may be incomplete or stale.

One local story involved juveniles. Their names and photos must never be repeated. The Marshall County clerk excludes Juvenile Court records from public access, and Tennessee law protects juvenile files. A secondary story never overrides those safeguards.

The official police page shows the local contact and the sheriff handoff.

The town page is the authority for local contacts. County JailTracker stays the booking path for anyone accepted into Marshall County custody.

Chapel Hill Arrest Alerts Archive

The town maintains an official police alerts archive. It holds public-safety announcements rather than a searchable arrest log, 24-hour booking feed, or complete photo list.

The archive adds context. Yet absence from it proves nothing about whether an arrest or booking occurred.

Keep four events distinct: a police announcement, a town arrest report, a county booking, and a court disposition. VINE can later report a matched custody event. It is not the court result. That separation keeps an outdated alert from passing as current custody.

Arrests Outside Chapel Hill Coverage

That sheriff handoff is a useful local rule. An address described informally as Chapel Hill may sit outside town police jurisdiction. In that case the sheriff or another agency may create the incident record. The county jail can still create the booking if it accepts the person.

Ask which agency made the arrest. Send the incident-report request to that agency. Send the booking request to the sheriff. Use the Circuit Court Clerk for the filed case. That way you never ask the town recorder for a record the town never created.

Chapel Hill Arrest Dispositions

An arrest in Chapel Hill is only the first page of the story. A booking entry tells you who was taken into custody. It does not tell you how things turned out. Cases get dismissed, pleaded down, moved, or tried in court. The Marshall County Circuit Court Clerk holds the filed record with the final disposition. That beats guessing from an intake entry or a police alert every time.

Give the clerk a full name and a rough arrest date. Add the arresting agency, such as Chapel Hill Police. Also include any case, warrant, or booking number you have. The office lists (931) 359-0536 and weekday hours. Juvenile Court sits outside its public-record statement. One more note: FOIL, the state custody search, covers a later stage. It sits beyond any Chapel Hill arrest log. Someone released locally may never show up there at all.
