Fayette County Jail and Peachtree City Arrests

Fayette County runs the jail that holds Peachtree City inmates. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office is the main authority over booking, custody, and release. All arrests by Peachtree City Police get processed through this system. The county jail is in Fayetteville, which is the county seat.

To find someone on the Peachtree City jail roster, your first step should be the Fayette County Sheriff's website. Many Georgia counties offer an online inmate search tool. Check the sheriff's site for their current search options. If the county does not have a web-based tool, you can call the jail directly and ask about a specific inmate by name.

The Fayette County jail is a mid-sized facility. It handles bookings from Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Tyrone, and other parts of the county. Because Fayette County is not as large as some metro Atlanta counties, the jail roster is typically easier to search through. Fewer daily bookings mean less clutter in the results.

Peachtree City has its own police force that handles law enforcement within city limits. The department patrols both roads and the city's extensive golf cart path system, which is a unique feature of the community. Arrests made on the paths or roads all go to the same county jail.

How to Search the Peachtree City Jail Roster

For state prison inmates, use the GDC offender search. This tool tracks people who have been sentenced and transferred from a county jail to a state prison. If someone arrested in Peachtree City got more than a year, they will show up in the GDC system after the transfer. You can search by name or offender ID. It costs nothing.

The GDC facility directory shows all state prison locations and participating county facilities. It can help you figure out where a specific inmate ended up after sentencing.

If none of these tools turn up the person you are looking for, try calling the Fayette County Jail. Staff can check the system directly. The inmate may have bonded out, been released, or could be held under a different name variation.

Peachtree City Jail Records and Open Records

Georgia law makes most jail roster records available to the public. O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-70, the Open Records Act, covers this. You can submit a written request to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office for booking logs, inmate lists, and other jail-related documents. The office must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of search time are free. After that, fees are calculated based on the lowest-paid employee who can do the work.

Some records can be restricted under O.C.G.A. Section 35-3-37. Misdemeanor arrests with no outcome get restricted after two years. Non-violent felony arrests without a conviction wait four years. Serious violent offenses take seven years. Once the GBI restricts the record, the county must follow suit within 30 days of a written request from the individual.

O.C.G.A. Section 50-18-74 gives the open records law some teeth. Agencies that refuse a valid request without a legal reason face fines. The first offense is up to $1,000. Each one after that within 12 months is up to $2,500. This applies to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office and any other custodian of Peachtree City jail records.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 42-8-66, people who finish first offender probation can have their booking records restricted. This means the arrest would no longer appear on the public Peachtree City jail roster. It only applies to those who completed the program without violations.
