Doniphan County Jail Inmate Search
Doniphan County Jail Inmate Search and Mugshots, Troy, KS
For a Doniphan County, Kansas inmate search, open the sheriff's current inmates list, which names everyone held at the jail at 219 S. Main St. in Troy along with the bond and the arresting agency. For a booking photo, ask the sheriff, since the list is meant for finding someone rather than for mugshots. The jail answers at 785-985-3711, and VINELink offers a second check.

Holds for Missouri warrants show up there too. Call 785-985-3711 to confirm a release before you drive to Troy.
↑ Back to the question list3. Does the sheriff post Doniphan County mugshots?
The list is for locating people, so ask the sheriff's office at 785-985-3711 for a booking photo or report. Kansas open-records law (K.S.A. 45-215) governs the request, and records tied to an open investigation may be held back. Immigration detention files go through ICE FOIA.

Troy is home to the Doniphan County Sheriff's Office, which serves the county's warrants; deputies can tell you whether one is active at 785-985-3711. No public warrant search spans Kansas, though from Troy you can still open Kansas CaseSearch and look up the district court case, where a bench warrant would be recorded.

Chestnut St., can talk you through a new date at 785-985-3582.

The amount appears on the inmate list once a judge sets it. A first appearance before a judge must happen without unnecessary delay (K.S.A. 22-2901). Call 785-985-3711 for how bond can be paid. Our Doniphan County bail page explains cash, surety and release on recognizance.

15. What happens when a defendant released from the Troy jail misses court?
The district court at 120 E. Chestnut (785-985-3582) declares the bond forfeited and orders an arrest warrant, as K.S.A. 22-2807 requires, and deputies at 785-985-3711 serve it. Failing to turn oneself in within 30 days after the forfeiture is its own offense under K.S.A. 21-5915, graded by the original charge: misdemeanor cases bring a class B misdemeanor, felony cases a severity level 10 felony.
↑ Back to the question list16. Do defendants pay for a court-appointed lawyer in Troy?
At the first appearance, a person who cannot afford a lawyer fills out a financial affidavit for the district judge; the clerk at 785-985-3582 collects a $100 application fee under K.S.A. 22-4529. The judge can waive it for manifest hardship, and the clerk pays it back once a dismissal or a not-guilty verdict closes the case. Probation violation hearings also qualify for appointed counsel.
↑ Back to the question list17. Are nights in the Troy jail credited against a sentence?
Yes. The district court at 120 E. Chestnut St. (785-985-3582) subtracts from the sentence every night the defendant spent in the Troy jail before the case was decided, under K.S.A. 21-6615. The jail at 785-985-3711 has the booking and release dates.
