Sugar Hill Busted Mugshots and Arrest Records

Sugar Hill busted mugshots and arrest records are processed through the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, which books defendants arrested by Sugar Hill Police Department into the Gwinnett County Detention Center. With a population of about 28,600, Sugar Hill is a growing city in northwestern Gwinnett County, and its arrests feed into the same Gwinnett County public inmate search that anyone can use to look up booking data, charges, and custody status for Sugar Hill arrests at no cost.

Sugar Hill Arrest Booking and Gwinnett County Detention Center

Sugar Hill Police Department arrests result in transport to the Gwinnett County Detention Center for booking. Fingerprinting, photographing, and charge entry all happen at the county facility. Records typically become available in the public inmate search within a few hours. Sugar Hill does not operate its own jail, so all arrests go into the Gwinnett County system.

The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office maintains the public inmate search that covers Sugar Hill and all other cities in the county. You can search by name and see results including charges, booking date, and current custody status. The search is free. No account is needed. If someone arrested in Sugar Hill does not appear right away, check back after a few hours as booking may still be in process.

Georgia Law on Sugar Hill Booking Photos and Mugshot Sites

How Sugar Hill busted mugshots are handled by agencies is set by state law. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, law enforcement agencies in Georgia cannot post booking photos online. The Gwinnett County Sheriff's inmate search shows charges and booking information but does not display photos in the public portal. Photos exist as part of the booking record but are not made available through the online database under this statute.

If a Sugar Hill arrest photo ends up on a third-party mugshot site, Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 allows for free removal. The site must remove the photo within 30 days after receiving a certified mail request. No fee can be charged. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division has guidance on which arrests qualify and how to write the request letter. Check eligibility before sending anything, since not every arrest meets the criteria.

The Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 allows anyone to request booking photos and other arrest documents from the Gwinnett County Sheriff. The three-business-day response window applies. This formal process is how to get photos that are not shown in the public-facing inmate search.
