How Centerville Arrests Work
Centerville is the Hickman County seat and its only incorporated city. MTAS classifies it as a town with a certified 2025 population of 3,532. Nearby spots like Lyles, Bon Aqua Junction, and Ripley are Census Designated Places rather than real cities. They have no separate arrest pages.
Records split depending on who makes the arrest. The arresting agency keeps its own report. If a person goes into county custody, the sheriff and jail hold the booking record. The standardized booking photo stays there too. Centerville runs no separate city jail or booking database. The sheriff is the first stop for booking questions.
A Centerville arrest means a person was taken into custody. The court file shows how the case ends.
The official MTAS directory supplies the municipality details.

Where Centerville Arrests Appear
No single website pulls together the incident report, booking, custody change, and court result. Go to official channels first. Treat news coverage as dated context only.
| Channel | Official? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Centerville Police | Yes | Incident report and arresting-agency records |
| Hickman Sheriff / Jail | Yes | County booking, custody, and possible photo request |
| TN SAVIN / VINELink | State program | Named-person custody status and alerts |
| City or county court | Yes | Docket, next event, and disposition |
| Main Street Media | No | Selective county sheriff reports |
| Regional news | No | Selected incidents, not a roster |
| Commercial aggregators | No | Potentially stale copies, not proof |
The police department's county-linked Facebook page sometimes posts public notices, but it offers no complete Centerville arrest blotter. Date any social post and confirm it with the agency.
Find Someone Arrested in Centerville
A city search should establish both agency and custody destination.
- Start with the name, arrest date, location, and agency if known.
- Contact Centerville Police for a city incident or arrest report.
- Contact the Hickman County Sheriff at (931) 729-6143 to confirm whether county booking occurred.
- Use TN SAVIN/VINELink for current custody status and release or transfer alerts about one person.
- Request the police report from the arresting agency and the booking record or photo from the booking custodian.
- Follow the case to the appropriate clerk for disposition.
There is no county roster or same-day booking feed to check. The Daily Arrest Report covers the newest-booking fallback, and the home page covers countywide booking photos and records law.

No Centerville Arrest Feed
Centerville has no standalone arrest log, daily bulletin, or booking table. There is no photo gallery or fixed records-request form either. The county's Facebook link is a communications channel. It is not a roster, so do not assume every arrest shows up there. An old post says nothing about who is in custody today.
No city jail or city booking system exists either. That does not lock every arrest into one path. Confirm the receiving facility each time. Once county intake happens, the sheriff owns the booking record. That holds even if Centerville Police made the arrest.
Centerville Arrest Statistics in Context
TBI's 2019 Crime in Tennessee report put Centerville Police's service population at 3,564. It counted 182 total arrests that year. That figure breaks into 164 adult arrests and 18 juvenile arrests. An earlier official report counted 117 arrests in 2017. These are old agency-year numbers, not current bookings or a forecast.
Juvenile counts deserve extra caution. Tennessee law generally closes juvenile law-enforcement records unless an exception applies. A statistical total never unlocks a protected file.
Centerville Arrest News Coverage
Main Street Media runs a periodic Hickman County Sheriff's Report, the best recurring local source. It pulls from sheriff affidavits and General Sessions Court filings. The coverage stays selective and countywide. A Centerville address alone does not mean Centerville Police made the arrest.
NewsChannel 5 has covered a Centerville incident. It described a suspect booked at Hickman County Jail. Regional stories can point to the agency or booking location. An old article proves nothing about custody now. WSMV, WNKX, and other outlets cover selected events without keeping a city roster.
Commercial aggregators come last. Mugshots.com shows apparent Hickman coverage. Several other large aggregators have no verified local pages. Those listings run stale or wrong, and a booking photo settles nothing.
Centerville Arrest Photos and Court Results
Tennessee booking normally includes a photograph. Hickman County, though, has no confirmed photo policy for its jail. If you want a booking photo, ask the booking custodian directly. The office has to weigh several limits first. Juvenile rules, investigative exemptions, sealing, expungement, and redaction can all block release. There is no mugshot gallery here.
Once an arrest moves to court, the paper trail shifts. Figure out whether Centerville City Court, General Sessions, or Circuit Court holds the docket. The AOC directory gives City Court Clerk Robyn Russell at 102 East Swan Street, P.O. Box 238, (931) 729-5588. For the higher benches, Hickman Law & Court Services lists Circuit Court Clerk Dana Nicholson at (931) 729-2211 and General Sessions Judge Amy Puckett at (931) 729-3074.
A Centerville arrest report is only the opening chapter. Match the booked charge against the disposition later. Charges get amended, cases get dismissed, and bond amounts can move. The court record supplies the ending.
Hickman Geography Shapes Arrest Searches
Centerville is the only incorporated town in Hickman County. That fact saves searchers a common headache. A report out of Lyles, Nunnelly, Bon Aqua, Only, or Ripley still belongs to the county. The county link holds until a source names the arresting agency. No unincorporated community has its own town police blotter. Resist the urge to invent one.
Only is also home to Turney Center Industrial Complex. That facility is a TDOC state prison, not the Hickman County Jail. A TDOC offender profile reflects state custody or supervision, not a fresh Centerville booking. County jail, state prison, federal custody, immigration detention, and court outcomes each sit apart. Every one lives in separate official records.
