Breese Busted Mugshots Explained

Breese sits fully inside Clinton County. The 2020 comparison put its population at 4,641. The city runs its own police department. That matters. Your arrest report starts with the city agency, not a neighboring county. The department page alone won't say where an adult was booked or whether a photo was taken. You have to ask.

The Breese Police Department lists 500 N. 1st Street, Breese, IL 62230, with a non-emergency line at (618) 526-7226. Chief Mark Berndsen heads the agency. Lea Nenninger serves as the police FOIA officer. Office hours run weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The page offers contacts and links, but no arrest log, daily blotter, or booking-photo gallery.

One Belleville News-Democrat report describes a Breese Police arrest. In it, the person was held at Clinton County Jail pending charges. That confirms a real booking path between the two agencies, though it is not a promise for every case. Confirm the receiving facility, the arresting agency, and the date first. Only then call a record a Clinton County booking.

Note: The official Breese police page below serves as a contact and records source, not a live list of Breese arrestees.

Think of the department page as your first stop for a city arrest. Custody questions go next to the facility that received the person. For the outcome, turn to the Circuit Clerk and the court case.

Where Breese Busted Mugshots Appear

No official public booking feed exists for Breese. So a lookup takes several channels. The county sheriff's page offers no public roster either. A city report, a jail receipt, a FOIA response, and a court docket each cover a different piece of the puzzle.

The county's full records and booking path explains why no private page can stand in for the sheriff, the police records unit, the jail, or the court. An image on an index is not proof of current custody.

Busted in Breese: A Record Search

Work dated sources and lead with the agency. That keeps a city arrest report apart from a county booking record. It also makes it easier to fix a wrong facility or a case of mistaken identity.

1. Record the full name, incident date, arresting agency, and any case or report number shown in a source.
2. Ask Breese Police whether it made the arrest and where the person was delivered.
3. Call Clinton County Corrections at (618) 594-4556 for a current custody question if the county jail is the reported destination.
4. Use the Circuit Clerk’s official site and its Judici case-search link to find later court events.
5. File a focused Breese Police or county FOIA request for the record or releasable photograph when the online sources do not answer the question.

A listing that says "held pending charges" only describes where the person was taken. Bond, dismissal, a plea, a transfer, or an acquittal all show up later in the court file.

Breese Police Records and FOIA

Breese keeps records requests simple. The city form asks for your contact information first. It also wants a description of the record and the relevant dates. You'll state how you want the material delivered or inspected, sign it, and declare any commercial purpose. The fees are plain. Your first 50 black-and-white pages cost nothing. Extra pages run 15 cents each, and electronic media gets billed at actual cost. Those numbers can shift, so confirm the current fees with the city before filing anything.

Narrow requests work best here. Ask the police department for the arrest report itself. Request the arresting officer or agency, the booking destination, and the booking photo if they hold one and can release it. The city won't rebuild a county jail roster for you. It also won't rule on where a case stands legally. That job belongs elsewhere.

1. Use the Breese Police public-record request form and identify the incident date or narrow range.
2. State whether you want inspection, paper copies, email, or electronic media.
3. Ask whether the person was received at Clinton County Jail and request the agency’s releasable record.
4. Ask for an exemption citation and non-exempt portions if the department withholds an item.

The screenshot below shows the city’s records-request route and fee information. It is a form reference, not a booking result.

A request for the police report and a request for the county jail booking file may need to be sent to two custodians. The county FOIA officer is Sandra Basler at 850 Fairfax Street, Carlyle, IL 62231, (618) 594-6645, foia@clintoncosa.illinois.gov.

Busted Breese Arrests at Clinton County Jail

One Breese news account describes an adult being held at Clinton County Jail while charges were pending. That fits the pattern for many local arrests. Breese Police keeps or writes the arrest report. Sheriff Dan Travous and county corrections manage the jail custody record, and the Circuit Clerk holds the case file once court proceedings begin. Three custodians, three separate authorities, three separate dates.

What the sheriff's site does not offer matters too. There is no search box, no daily roster, no booking window, no multi-day blotter, and no published photo policy. A line in the jail's inmate rules talks about photographs mailed to inmates, which has nothing to do with booking photos going public. So if a private site shows a Breese face, check with the county first. Ask whether a booking photo exists and is releasable. Don't assume the jail supplied the image.

Breese Busted Crime News and Local Coverage

The Breese Journal is the principal local weekly/news source. Its online sections include news, county coverage, briefs, and public notices, but no dedicated current mugshot category was located. Weekly coverage is selected reporting, not a complete booking feed. A story may use a file or editorial image, so it should not be labeled a booking photo unless the outlet says so.

The Belleville News-Democrat crime section supplies regional reporting, including selected Breese and Clinton County incidents. The county-level pages for RecentlyBooked, Busted Newspaper, and Mugshots.com may include entries labeled Breese, but none documents a city feed or complete city coverage. The Clinton County Arrest News page explains the difference between a news lead, an official record, and a court disposition.

A dated story is most useful when it preserves the arresting agency, allegation, jail destination, and publication date. If those details conflict with a police or court record, contact the originating office and treat the discrepancy as a correction question, not a reason to repeat the stronger-sounding claim.

Breese Bookings and Court Disposition

A Breese booking is just the start of the paper trail. An arraignment or first appearance usually takes up the charge and any release conditions. The Circuit Clerk and Judici docket can show what happens next in court, though a docket is never a live jail roster. Someone can walk out of custody while the case is still open. A booking page can linger online long after a case ends or changes.

Stick to neutral wording. "Breese Police report lists," "county jail record states," and "court docket shows" all work. Use "disposition not located" when the answer is missing. Keep "charged with" as it is. If a docket is sealed, juvenile, or simply not found, say the public search returned nothing. Never publish a juvenile's name or picture.

Booking

Jail intake after an arrest.

Bond

A release condition, not a verdict.

Disposition

The court’s resolution of the case.

Breese and the County Record Trail

Breese shows why a name-and-photo list is never enough. The police department posts a clear request form. The county jail is a documented holding destination. Local journalism fills gaps, though it never becomes an official roster. Name all three layers and the trail works best.

State custody calls for the IDOC route instead of the county jail. Federal and immigration custody each have their own locator. Want an old booking image? Ask the agency about retention and release, since no Clinton County retention period was published. A private page staying online proves nothing about the official record.

The IDOC search covers sentenced state custody. The BOP locator, U.S. Marshals information, and ICE locator handle separate federal or immigration questions. None replaces Breese Police or Clinton County Jail records, and none is a public county booking-photo feed.
