Kay County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, arrange a release, post a bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Direct those requests to the agency or court that holds the information.
Kay County Sheriff and Detention Contacts
For current county custody, a jail register, a booking record, or a maintained booking photo, start with the Kay County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Steve Kelley’s office and the Kay County Detention Facility are at 1101 W Dry Road, Newkirk, OK 74647. The general Sheriff’s Office line is 580-362-3250; its fax is 580-362-3259. Jail administration is reached at 580-362-3393.
The county has not published a dedicated records email, records-counter hours, booking-request form, fee schedule, or response-time commitment. A targeted written Open Records request should identify the person, approximate date range, relevant agency, and the specific item sought, such as a jail register, booking record, release or transfer information, or a maintained booking photograph. Ask for a fee estimate and any applicable redactions. Oklahoma Open Records Act Title 51, §24A.8 is the state-law reference for this request path.
Choose the Record System That Fits
One person may appear in different systems at different stages, and no single locator answers every question.
- Current county detention or a historical jail record: Call the detention line for a present-custody question. For an older record or photo, use the Sheriff’s Office written-request route described above. Kay County did not have a verified official public roster at the research date.
- Case progress, filed charge, hearing, or disposition: Contact the Kay County Court Clerk, Marilee Thornton, at 201 S Main St, Newkirk, OK 74647, or PO Box 428, Newkirk, OK 74647, 580-362-3350. Office hours are weekdays 8:00 a.m. to noon and 12:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Clerk also points users to OSCN and ODCR. A booking accusation can change or be dismissed, so court disposition is the later record.
- State prison or community supervision: Use the Oklahoma Department of Corrections offender lookup and its official offender-information page. Those sources concern sentenced or supervised people, not a live Kay County jail roster.
- Federal custody: The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is a federal system. It does not serve as a county booking search.
- Immigration detention: The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is separate from local criminal custody and uses its own identification requirements. Do not treat an ICE result as a Kay County criminal booking record.
Other Questions
For a warrant question, begin with the issuing court or the Sheriff’s Office, as explained on Wanted Fugitives. For a news article or a secondary booking lead, use Arrest News to understand the source before relying on it. The home page explains the complete Kay County search and records-request path.
