Pendleton County Busted Mugshots is a private reference resource, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, obtain official records, correct a government file, handle a warrant, post bond, or give legal advice. Use the responsible public office or official search service for those matters.
Official Pendleton County Record Routes
The Pendleton County Sheriff's Office is the published local starting point for a records-routing question. No separate sheriff records unit, booking-photo form, fee schedule, or records-only hours were found. The office can identify whether it holds a requested record, but it is not a promise that the office controls every booking image from regional custody.

For current or recent regional-jail custody, start with the official WVDCR Regional Jail Authority Offender Search. The official Daily Incarcerations view is the closest verified same-day admissions route, but it is not a permanent county archive. Potomac Highlands Regional Jail and Correctional Facility serves Pendleton County from Augusta, so confirm the county or arresting agency in any regional result.

For a court case or disposition, use the official West Virginia magistrate record search and then the appropriate clerk when a copy is needed. The Magistrates' Office is at 10 South Main Street, PO Box 637, Franklin, WV 26807, at 304-358-2343 or 304-358-2344. The Circuit Clerk is at 10 South Main Street, PO Box 846, Franklin, WV 26807, at 304-358-7067 or shalee.wilburn@courtswv.gov.
A written request should give the person's full name, the approximate arrest or booking date, the arresting agency if known, any booking or case number, and the exact record sought. Ask for electronic delivery and an estimate before reproduction work. Under West Virginia Code ยง29B-1-3, a custodian generally must respond as soon as practicable and within five days excluding weekends and legal holidays, by providing access, setting a time and place, or issuing a written denial. That is an initial response framework, not a guarantee that a complex request will be completed in five days.
Use 911 for an emergency. The reported 304-358-3271 number is not identified here as a sheriff records line.
- Use the regional-jail offender search for a public custody profile and any photo the official application displays.
- Use Daily Incarcerations for a recent-admission check, then verify a match with identifying details.
- Send a local records-routing request to the sheriff using the published office contact above.
- When Potomac Highlands Regional Jail or WVDCR is the custodian, direct the request to the regional or state records path instead of assuming the sheriff holds it.
- Use the magistrate search and clerk contacts for case filings and dispositions, not as a source of custody status or booking photos.
- Use the official WVDCR prison search only for later state-prison custody, not as a substitute for a newly booked regional-jail record.
