WTYE Mugshots: Find the Post, Then Verify the Arrest Record
WTYE/WTAY publishes a dedicated mugshot archive with monthly arrest posts. If you are trying to confirm a recent booking around Robinson or Crawford County, use that archive as the discovery step, then verify current custody and court information through the Crawford County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Illinois VINE or Illinois Department of Corrections.
A mugshot page can show that a person appeared in a booking-related post at a particular time, but it does not tell you the final outcome of the case. Release, dismissal, amended charges, court disposition and later state custody require separate checks.
Start Your WTYE Mugshot Search
If you only want to see the monthly WTYE mugshot posts, begin with WTYE’s own archive. If you need to know whether someone is still in custody or what happened after booking, continue to the county and state sources below.
WTYE is a media source, not the official jail or court database. Use government records when the exact custody status or case outcome matters.
Use the media post to identify the arrest, then move through official sources according to the question you need answered.
What the WTYE Mugshots Archive Shows
WTYE/WTAY maintains a page specifically labeled “WTYE Mugshots.” Its archive is organized through dated monthly posts, which makes it useful when you know roughly when an arrest occurred but do not know the exact booking date.
Good use of the WTYE archive
- Check a recent monthly mugshot post.
- Confirm the spelling of a person’s name.
- Identify the approximate arrest or booking date.
- Note the charge wording shown with the post.
Questions WTYE cannot settle by itself
- Whether the person remains in jail today.
- Whether charges were changed or dismissed.
- The current court schedule or disposition.
- Whether custody later transferred to IDOC.

Use the jail for a current-status question
Calling is appropriate when a roster link does not load, an older page conflicts with newer information, or you need to determine whether the person is still in local custody.
Check Crawford County Court Records After the Booking
The Crawford County Circuit Clerk is the local court-record contact. The county lists the office in the courthouse in Robinson, with public hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and telephone number 618-544-3512.
| Question | Best source | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Was the person mentioned in a monthly mugshot post? | WTYE / WTAY | Direct source for its own published mugshot archive. |
| Is the person still in county custody? | Crawford County Sheriff / Jail | Custody can change after a media post is published. |
| What happened in the criminal case? | Circuit Clerk / court record | Court records are the proper place to verify filings and disposition. |
| Did custody move to state prison? | Illinois DOC | County jail and state corrections are separate custody systems. |
When to Use Illinois DOC or VINE
Illinois VINE
Illinois VINE is a free, secure notification system that can provide custody-status and criminal-case information. Users can register for supported notifications by email, text, phone or the VINE mobile application.
Illinois Department of Corrections
IDOC’s Individual in Custody Search is for people in state correctional custody. It is not a substitute for checking a recent Crawford County jail booking.
WTYE Mugshot Search Problems and What to Do
Check another monthly WTYE post, confirm spelling and consider whether the arrest occurred outside Crawford County. A local media archive is not a complete statewide arrest database.
Do not interpret continued online publication as current incarceration. Check the Sheriff’s Office, VINE, court records or IDOC depending on the stage of the case.
Check the page date. Crawford County has maintained older web content during its website transition, so call the jail when current custody cannot be confirmed online.
Use the court record for later case information. Arresting-agency wording, a media post and the final filed charges may not remain identical as a case progresses.
Match more than the name. Compare dates, middle names or initials, age or other lawful identifiers available from authoritative records before deciding two records concern the same person.
Use Mugshot and Arrest Information Carefully
Arrest information can affect real people long after the original booking. Avoid reposting a photo or charge as proof of guilt, and do not assume that an old booking page reflects a person’s present legal status.
Check the date
A monthly WTYE post may remain online after custody or case status has changed.
Check the court
Later court records may show developments that were impossible to know on the booking date.
Check identity
Do not associate a record with someone solely because a first and last name match.
