How Buckhorn Arrests Work
Buckhorn sits along Kentucky Route 28 and counted 89 residents in the 2020 Census. The City of Buckhorn website covers civic and utility business. It lists no police department. No arrest roster or daily blotter appears there either. A city site, in short, is not proof of a city booking system. Anyone checking who was arrested in Buckhorn has to look to the county and state.
Two agencies answer that need. One is the Perry County Sheriff's Office. The other is Kentucky State Police Post 13. Whichever one makes the arrest keeps the report. If Kentucky River Regional Jail takes the person in, KRRJ opens its own booking record. The court later holds the case file. One arrest can mean three separate checks. A transfer adds another facility or the Department of Corrections.
The city's official page shows what a small municipality actually posts.
The capture confirms a civic website, not a police roster or Buckhorn arrest feed.
Buckhorn Arrest Enforcement Geography
KSP Post 13's official checkpoint notice page names Buckhorn-area roads, including KY 28 and routes nearby. That alone puts Buckhorn on the enforcement map. No city blotter is needed for that point. A checkpoint notice only flags possible enforcement spots, though. It names no people and proves no arrests. It offers no totals either. Post 13 covers Perry County from 100 Justice Drive in Hazard, reachable at (606) 435-6069. The sheriff's office answers at (606) 439-4523. Each agency holds the report for its own arrests. Ask who made the arrest first, because KRRJ cannot hand you the officer's report in place of its intake list.

Where Buckhorn Arrests Appear
No Buckhorn-only arrest publication exists. Official checks come first. News stories and third-party county indexes can point the way, but they cannot confirm current custody or the final case result.
| Channel | Purpose | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Sheriff or KSP | Arrest and incident report | Use the agency that made the arrest |
| KRRJ | Booking and current local custody | Transfer or release can change the answer |
| VINE | Custody search and possible alerts | Confirm the matched record and facility |
| Perry court | Case events and disposition | The court supplies the outcome |
| WYMT / Hazard Herald | Selected regional or court stories | Not a complete Buckhorn arrest list |
| County aggregators | Copied booking entries | Unofficial, incomplete, and possibly stale |
None of these sources offers a city mugshot gallery. Booking photos live with the jail or agency that holds them. Direct any photo request there.
Find a Buckhorn Booking
KRRJ is the first local check for Buckhorn bookings. Not everyone arrested nearby stays there. Charge, court order, arresting agency, release, or transfer can change the facility, so search in an order that keeps those possibilities open.
- Call KRRJ booking at (606) 436-1008 for a recent intake question. Use inmate information at (606) 436-4032 for current local custody.
- Confirm whether the Perry sheriff or KSP Post 13 made the arrest, then request the agency report from that office.
- Try VINELink Custody Check for a Kentucky custody match and supported release or transfer notifications.
- Use the Perry Hall of Justice route for the docket, charge changes, and disposition.
Same-day searches start with Arrests Last 24 Hours. The Police Blotter page holds older and editorial material. The Perry County recent-arrests hub explains KRRJ records, booking photos, and the countywide channel map.
Buckhorn Arrest Record Requests
Buckhorn has no police records unit of its own. Requests follow whoever holds the record. Sheriff records start at (606) 439-4523; confirm the mailing address too, since county and directory sources disagree on its form. For state police, use the KSP open-records page. Give the full name, the approximate date, the location, the agency, and any case number.
Jail requests go straight to KRRJ. The policy there requires writing, sent by email, mail, or hand delivery. The custodian is Adam Dials, Assistant Administrator, Kentucky River Regional Jail, 200 Justice Drive, Hazard, KY 41701; email perryjailcd@ky.gov. Say exactly what you want, whether a booking record, a daily arrest-list entry, a booking image, or a release record. Vague wording slows the search.
- Booking
- The jail intake process after an arrest.
- Arrest report
- The arresting agency's account of the alleged event.
- Detainer
- A request or order that can affect release or transfer.
- Disposition
- The final court result of the charge.
KRRJ lists no online photo display. No posting schedule can be promised either. If a name is missing, call the jail; release from a roster never erases the agency or court record.
Buckhorn Arrest Coverage Limits
WYMT Regional rolls ongoing coverage for the wider area. The Hazard Herald prints weekly court-charge reporting for Perry County. Neither keeps a Buckhorn mugshot section. Neither posts a full daily city roster. A story date may lag behind the arrest date by days. Court coverage can arrive much later. RecentlyBooked and Arrests.org Perry County run unofficial county pages that sometimes carry Buckhorn labels. Treat them as leads, never answers. Entries can lag, outlive a release, skip a correction, or miss the court outcome entirely. A county page also cannot prove the arrest happened inside Buckhorn or that the person is still at KRRJ. Checkpoint notices need the same caution. They mark planned enforcement, not bookings. Stack a checkpoint page, a news story, and an aggregator into one supposed arrest count, and you have a claim nobody published. Let each source answer only its own question.
After a Buckhorn Arrest
Custody status shapes where a Buckhorn arrest record lands. Someone freshly booked may sit at KRRJ. Release changes things. A person freed from custody can vanish from a present-custody view, though the arrest and court files stay on the books. Transfers take extra care. A transfer must be confirmed with the new facility. State commitments show up elsewhere. Once a person enters state custody or supervision, the Kentucky Department of Corrections KOOL search becomes the better tool than any Perry booking source.
VINE tracks custody events across Kentucky, yet its results and alerts still deserve a call to the facility to confirm. Statewide VINE coverage is documented officially, though the listings do not name KRRJ specifically. A blank result proves nothing. Court questions run through Perry Hall of Justice at 545 Main Street in Hazard. A docket there can show arraignment, bond decisions, charge amendments, and the final disposition. That official court record beats any stale booking page or news clip.
Verify Buckhorn Arrest Outcomes
Every solid check ends at the originating office. Match jail custody with KRRJ. Match the arrest event with the sheriff or KSP. Match the case outcome with the clerk who keeps the Perry court files. Booking date and arrest date are not the same thing, since intake can lag behind the actual arrest. When comparing an aggregator entry or news item against official data, save the URL and the date you checked.
Warrant questions belong with the court. Kentucky eWarrants serves authorized users only, so it is not an open public Buckhorn warrant search. Anyone named in a warrant should talk with counsel or the court and follow official directions. Nearby cities keep their own routes. Hazard Recent Arrests covers a municipal police records desk, while Vicco Recent Arrests carries a dissolved-status caveat. Buckhorn's path rests on real KSP enforcement geography.
