Gasconade County Sheriff and Busted Mugshots

The Gasconade County Sheriff's Office is at 119 E 1st St., Hermann, MO 65041. Phone: (573) 486-2424. This office provides all county law enforcement and operates the Gasconade County jail. Deputies patrol the area, respond to calls, and bring in anyone they arrest for booking at the jail.

Booking is the step where busted mugshots get created. The jail staff take a photo, record the charges, log the person's name and date of birth, and determine the bond. Gasconade County is fairly quiet. The jail is small and does not have a huge inmate count at any one time. But arrests still happen on a regular basis. DUIs are common given the rural roads, and drug cases and warrants round out most of the bookings.

You can call the sheriff's office during business hours to ask about someone in custody. They will confirm if a person is being held and what the charges are. In-person requests work at the Hermann office too.
