Ottawa County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release someone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. For an official answer, use the public office that created or maintains the record.
Official Ottawa County Contacts
Start with the Ottawa County Inmate Lookup for a person who may still be in county custody. It is a current-custody search, not a historical booking archive or a public photo gallery. For a report, booking record, or request that the lookup cannot answer, use the Sheriff’s official records and FOIA route below.

Records and FOIA
Submit a written request through the Ottawa County FOIA Center or follow the Sheriff Records Unit instructions. Describe the person, date or limited date range, agency, and record sought as specifically as possible. The normal written response period is five business days. The county may issue one extension of up to ten additional business days when it gives notice and a reason.
Hours and an In-Person Caution
The Sheriff contact page lists Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with weekends closed. A separate Sheriff page has displayed conflicting Friday hours, so call first before making an in-person records visit. Fees are actual-cost based and may include searching, review, redaction, copying, media, and delivery. Ask for an estimate for a booking-photo request.
Use the record path that matches the question:
- For current county custody, use the Ottawa County lookup and booking-record guide. A person who has been released may no longer appear on the roster.
- For an Ottawa County booking record or a releasable booking photo, use the FOIA Center and request the specific record. The county’s public roster does not display a booking-photo field.
- For Holland, Grand Haven, or Hudsonville context, use the city guides for Holland, Grand Haven, and Hudsonville. The creating agency may be different from the jail custodian.
- For a criminal case after booking, check MiCOURT Case Search and the relevant Ottawa County court. Charges are accusations and may be reduced, dismissed, or resolved differently.
- For sentenced Michigan custody, use MDOC OTIS. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator, as appropriate.
- For an active warrant concern, use the official verification options described in Most Wanted Fugitives. Do not use a website as a substitute for an official confirmation.
