Arrest History in Andrew County
An Andrew County arrest may begin with the Andrew County Sheriff, Savannah Police Department, Country Club Village Police, or MSHP Troop H. Amazonia officially relies on the Sheriff for law-enforcement service. Each arresting agency creates its own report, while the Andrew County Jail creates the booking and custody entry when it receives the person. The prosecutor later decides whether to file a state charge, and the Circuit Clerk opens a case only after that filing.
These records answer different questions. An agency report describes the arrest event and initial allegation. An Andrew County jail entry shows that intake or detention occurred. Case.net shows the charge that reached court, if one did. MACHS reflects reportable statewide criminal-history data received by the MSHP Central Repository. Older repository coverage can be uneven because reporting was voluntary before 1987, even though MSHP records reach back to the 1940s and update daily.
Search Andrew County Arrest Rosters
The official Andrew County jail roster provides separate Current and Released views. A reader can sort by name or date, choose an initial through the A-Z links, enter a first or last name, move through result pages, or use Show All. Result cards were confirmed to display a booking number, booking date and time, charges, bond, a displayed name, and a profile link. The roster is a booking index, not a court judgment.
The official Andrew County Sheriff homepage shows the county source from which the roster, press releases, and jail tools are reached.
This official route avoids unofficial arrest databases when finding Andrew County booking information. During research, some roster profile links returned errors, so the jail phone is the practical fallback when the card will not open.
How to Look Up Andrew County Arrests
Begin with the channel closest to the event, using the full name, approximate arrest date, location, and any report or booking number. Then move outward. This sequence covers every Andrew County arrest source documented in the county and state research:
- Search the Sheriff’s Current and Released rosters for an Andrew County Jail booking. If the page or profile fails, call the continuously operated jail at 816-324-4114.
- For an MSHP arrest, filter the preliminary arrest feed to Andrew County and Troop H. Its entries remain available for only five days, so this is a recent-event check.
- Check the Sheriff’s press releases for a publicly explained event, while recognizing that the feed is selective and not a complete blotter.
- Request the report from the agency that made the arrest. Ask the Sheriff, Savannah Police, Country Club Police, or Troop H for a named report under section 610.100 RSMo.
- Search Missouri Case.net for a filed Andrew County charge, allowing time for prosecutor review and court filing. Use the case outcome rather than the intake charge to assess what happened in court.
- Order a MACHS name search for the statewide open-record product, or use the fingerprint channel to review one’s own open and closed Missouri record.
Request Andrew County Arrest Reports
The Andrew County Sheriff does not publish a separately branded records division or one all-purpose report portal. Contact the office at 400 East Main Street, Savannah, Missouri 64485, or call 816-324-4114 and ask for the custodian of the exact record. A useful request names the arrest or incident report, gives the event date or range, location, involved name, agency report number when known, and the desired format. A narrow request can reduce search time and charges.
Andrew County Sheriff’s Office and Jail
400 East Main Street
Savannah, MO 64485
816-324-4114
Call first to identify the custodian and confirm record-counter availability. The Sheriff’s administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Section 610.100 makes Andrew County arrest and incident reports public subject to lawful closures and redactions. Investigative details may be withheld to protect people, active work, sources, or techniques. Sexual-offense victim identities and juvenile material receive added protection. Missouri’s Sunshine Law generally calls for a response by the end of the third business day, but that response may explain a delay and state the earliest production date.
Send the request to the office that created the file. Savannah Police operates at 502 East Duncan Drive and can be reached at 816-324-7541. Country Club Police is at 6601 North Belt Highway and can be reached at 816-232-4622. Troop H is at 3525 North Belt Highway in St. Joseph, with a public number of 816-387-2345. Amazonia has no separate police force, so an Amazonia arrest-report request begins with the Andrew County Sheriff. The prosecutor’s published Sunshine form can guide a precise request, but it does not transfer custody of a Sheriff or city-police report to the prosecutor.
What an Arrest Record Shows
The Andrew County record changes as the event moves from agency report to jail card and repository cycle. The public roster confirms fewer fields than a full arrest report. Use the booking number and date to match sources, and treat each charge description as an initial allegation until Case.net supplies the filed count and disposition.
| Booking Number | The jail’s identifier for the intake; confirmed on roster result cards. |
|---|---|
| Booking Date & Time | When the jail recorded intake, which may differ from the event time in the arrest report. |
| Arresting Agency | The Sheriff, city police, Troop H, or another agency that created the arrest report. |
| Charges | Initial descriptions and codes associated with booking, subject to rejection, amendment, dismissal, or later judgment. |
| Bond | The bond or hold data shown with the custody entry when available. |
| Booking Image | The official roster card includes a booking image, but this resource does not republish people’s photographs. |
| Release Status | Current or released roster placement and any release information the official source displays. |
Troop H Andrew County Arrest Feed
MSHP’s preliminary arrest report is a separate, short-lived source for Patrol arrests in Andrew County. Select Andrew as the arrest county and H as the troop, then use first name, last name, person city or state, and arrest date or range as needed. Results report arrest date and time, county, troop, age, and location information. A detail view adds the charge narrative, where the person was held, and release information.
Entries remain available for five days and cover only MSHP arrests. They do not represent all Andrew County arrests, and the Patrol warns that the listed accusations are not evidence of guilt. A Sheriff or Savannah Police event will not become a Troop H entry merely because the person was booked at the Andrew County Jail.
Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
The Sheriff roster is the main official booking log for Andrew County. It distinguishes people in current custody from released entries and supports name, alphabet, date, and paging controls. The Sheriff’s press-release feed can provide context for selected incidents, but it is not a chronological list of every arrest. Savannah reports are computerized, yet the city publishes no indexed arrest log. Country Club also has no documented public arrest log.
The official Andrew County Jail page explains the facility and the local custody process behind those roster entries.
The jail has 84 beds and seven cell-block areas, including maximum, medium, trustee or work-release, and investigative-detention space. It may hold Savannah and Country Club prisoners or people transferred under other arrangements, so an Andrew County Jail entry does not always mean Andrew County prosecutors filed the case.
Andrew County Arrest Booking to MACHS
At Andrew County intake, staff record identity and medical responses, inventory property, enter the warrant or charge, take fingerprints and a booking photograph, assess risk and custody needs, and assign placement. The fingerprint submission can create a Missouri offense cycle tied to a State Identification number and, when applicable, an FBI number. The prosecutor and court later add the filing and disposition parts of that chain.
MACHS is the official MSHP portal for the state repository. A public name search uses last name, first name, date of birth, plus middle name and Social Security number when available. It costs $15 plus a convenience fee. For one’s own record, fingerprint capture through the MACHS Fingerprint Portal and IDEMIA is more reliable for separating people with similar names and permits subject access to open and closed Missouri information allowed by law.
The official Missouri crime-data portal supplies agency and year filters for statistical context rather than individual arrest records.
Andrew County Sheriff, Savannah Police, and Country Club Police appear as separate series. Those counts should not be merged or treated as a substitute for a person-specific roster, report, court case, or repository result.
Arrests vs Convictions
An Andrew County booking records an accusation and custody event. A conviction exists only after a guilty plea or finding and a court judgment. The arresting agency, jail, Circuit Clerk, and MSHP repository can therefore show different stages of the same matter. Searchers should match dates and identifiers, then use the court disposition to understand the legal outcome.
| Arrest Record | Conviction Record |
|---|---|
| Created by the arresting agency and jail. | Created through the Circuit Court judgment and reported disposition. |
| Shows that an arrest or booking occurred. | Shows a plea or finding of guilt and its sentence. |
| Held in the agency report, roster, and reportable MSHP cycle. | Held by the Circuit Clerk and reflected in repository data within release rules. |
| May lead to release, no filing, dismissal, or acquittal. | May lead to sentence, appeal, or qualifying expungement. |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and an initial booking charge may never become the charge filed in court.
Andrew County Arrest Custody Boundaries
The Andrew County Jail roster covers local custody, not every kind of confinement. MODOC Offender Search is the correct state tool for people currently or formerly under Missouri incarceration, probation, parole, or other MODOC supervision. It does not list everyone held only in the county jail. Federal custody is another separate layer.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator is the official search for federal custody records.
Use that locator only when federal custody is relevant. It cannot confirm an Andrew County Jail booking, a Missouri prison placement, or the outcome of an Andrew County criminal case.
For a state or local trail, return to the right layer. Use the jail roster and phone for Andrew County custody, MODOC Offender Search for Missouri correctional custody or supervision, and Case.net for the filed court record. A person can appear in one layer and not another because each system has a different purpose, time span, and reporting source. Matching the booking number, case number, dates, and agency is more reliable than assuming that a name alone identifies the same event.
