Westport Busted Arrest Process
Westport sits in Decatur County. STATS Indiana put its 2025 population estimate near 1,406 residents. The police department works from an East Mulberry Street office and keeps the municipal files. A person picked up on a county matter gets booked at the Decatur County Detention Center in Greensburg. The town report and the jail file can therefore describe two halves of one event.
The county's official JailTracker portal lists people in current custody. It is not a history of every Westport arrest. Someone cited and released, transferred, housed elsewhere, or freed before you look may not appear. The sheriff's app also lists current inmates, though neither its description nor county material confirms photos.
Where Westport Busted Mugshots Appear
No official Westport daily arrest log exists. There is no bookings page either. No mugshot feed. Begin with government channels, and treat local news and county aggregator sites as leads only, since an unofficial town tag can mark where someone lives or where an incident happened without telling you which agency made the arrest.
| Channel | Scope | Photo | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decatur JailTracker | Current county custody | Unconfirmed | Official county portal |
| Sheriff app | Current inmates and alerts | Unconfirmed | Official |
| Westport Police contact | Municipal arrest or incident record | Ask for exact held file | Official city custodian |
| MyCase | Filed case through disposition | Not a mugshot source | Official court |
| WRBI | Selected regional news | Varies by story | Independent news |
| Recently Booked, Mugshots.com | County aggregation | Often, may be stale | Unofficial |
Commercial sites have real limits. Entries can be missing, delayed, duplicated, or left online after a status changes. Recently Booked claims multiple daily refreshes, but that pace belongs to the publisher, not the sheriff. Mugshots.com publishes no reliable official schedule at all. Confirm identity, custody, and outcome on your own before drawing conclusions.
Busted in Westport Search
Work a narrow path. Separate present custody from the original police event. A name spelling, an approximate date, and the agency involved make every step sharper.
- Check Decatur County JailTracker for current county custody. Do not treat a miss as proof that no Westport arrest occurred.
- Try the official sheriff app as another current-inmate channel. Features and update timing can change.
- Contact Westport Police for the municipal arrest or incident record, giving the person, date, place, and incident number if known.
- Ask the Decatur County Sheriff's Department for a jail booking record or intake photograph when county custody occurred.
- Search Indiana MyCase for filing, changes to charges, dismissal, plea, judgment, and sentence.
The county posts no separate 24-hour, 72-hour, or weekly booking feed. Indiana's statutory daily arrest record sits with the agency itself. The current roster is not a recent-arrest log, so don't mistake one for the other. The Decatur County busted mugshots hub lays out the full county request fallback.
Note: A release can pull someone off a current roster while the agency booking record and later court case live on.
Westport Busted Records Contact
The official Westport Police contact page offers an electronic contact route. It has no purpose-specific arrest-record form. No fee schedule, records hours, or stated turnaround either. Ask where to send an Indiana Access to Public Records Act request, and describe the record you want with reasonable particularity rather than asking staff to build a new report.
A solid request names the person, the rough date, the place, and the event. Ask Westport Police for its arrest or incident record. If county intake happened, separately request the sheriff's booking record and the exact booking photograph. Don't apply Greensburg Police fees or the sheriff's media charges to Westport; each schedule belongs to its own custodian.

Westport Police Official Source
Start with the Westport Police contact page for municipal records intake and current agency details.

That page routes questions to the town department. The sheriff stays the custodian for county jail booking material.
Westport Arrest Report Limits
Westport does publish a Monthly Activity Report. The visible edition, though, hung at December 2021 and showed only aggregate totals. Those included two arrests, four citations, one written warning, and seventeen verbal warnings. Other categories grouped calls, investigations, assists, training, and vehicle activity. No names appeared. No charges, booking images, or searchable archive either.
That is the official view in a nutshell. The page simply cannot answer who was arrested recently.

That old statistical snapshot shows department workload at one moment. It is not a live Westport booking feed. No one can be identified from it.
The aggregate counts still tell you something about the enforcement mix. Interagency categories reveal how departments coordinate. Shared work does not merge records ownership, though. Westport keeps its municipal files. The county sheriff keeps the jail intake files.
No Named Westport Feed
Indiana Code 5-14-3-5 requires agencies to keep a daily record of jailed or arrested people and to make it available within 24 hours. The listed facts cover identity, the arresting officer and agency, time and place, circumstances, and charges. A booking photograph is not expressly included. Westport's old aggregate report cannot stand in for that named daily record.
For a date range, ask the department for the daily record the statute requires or any arrest summary it already keeps. If you're pointed to another custodian, note the reason. An answer that Westport holds no jail-created image differs from a refusal to release anything at all.
- Daily arrest record
- The agency record of specified arrest facts, not necessarily an online page.
- Current roster
- A view of people represented in jail custody now.
- Booking photo
- An intake image held by the agency that created or maintains it.
- Disposition
- The court's final or later action in the case.
Westport Busted News Checks
Two news outlets cover Westport and the rest of Decatur County when something happens, though neither keeps a steady town arrest list. WRBI reports on the area as events warrant. The Greensburg Daily News posts a dispatch-style police blotter, sometimes several times a month, with the time, agency, incident type, and location. Treat those articles as opening accounts credited to police rather than a full named booking database or a court outcome. From there, pull the source agency's own report and run a search on MyCase, since court records can outlast a jail stay and show what prosecutors actually filed. The county's Arrest News page walks through this same verification path.
Mugshot aggregators are hit or miss here. Recently Booked and Mugshots.com both have Decatur County sections, but neither offers a dependable feed for Westport specifically. Busted Newspaper had no live section anyone could verify for the county. Arrests.org was unreachable, and Mugshots.zone showed no confirmed local section. A dead or unreliable source is not worth citing.
Westport Custody Beyond Booking
Someone already transferred out of a local jail lands in a different set of databases. The Indiana Department of Correction locator tracks people in state custody, though its screen shows no photo. Federal cases go through the BOP locator, which reaches back to 1982. Immigration detention has its own tool, the ICE locator. None of these will reconstruct a Westport arrest roster from the county jail, since each answers a narrower question about where a person is held right now.
For staying informed, two free options exist. Indiana SAVIN sends custody and status notices as they happen. The official sheriff app pushes local alerts and opens the current-inmate list on a phone. Neither one reveals how a case ends. Outcomes live elsewhere. The MyCase chronological summary and the clerk's certified copies show each filing, amendment, dismissal, plea, verdict, and sentence in order.
