Find Busted Mugshots in Shiawassee County

Shiawassee County busted mugshots are linked to arrests made by the sheriff and local police in the Corunna area of mid-Michigan. The county jail processes bookings from across this largely rural area between Lansing and Flint. You can search for arrest records and booking info through Michigan's statewide databases, court record tools, and by contacting the sheriff's office directly.

Shiawassee County Busted Mugshots Database

The Shiawassee County Sheriff's Office runs the jail in Corunna. The county website has contact info for the sheriff and other departments.

They handle bookings from the sheriff's patrol, Owosso police, Durand police, and other local agencies.
