Towns County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, release anyone, post bond, or pull official booking records. Contact the government office that created or holds the record for an authoritative answer.
Which Office Holds the Record?
The right contact depends on whether the question concerns current county custody, a booking record, a city incident, a court case, state custody, or federal or immigration detention. The Towns County Sheriff's Office publishes no separate records-office hours or local price list, so ask for an estimate and confirm current instructions before sending a request.

The office telephone is 706-896-4444. The instructions direct requesters to complete the current form; they do not publish a separate local fee schedule or records counter hours.
Use these official paths for the following needs:
- For current custody or a release question, call the Towns County Detention Center information line at 706-896-5474. The official jail page is informational, not a public roster.
- For an existing county booking sheet or booking photograph, follow the TCSO open-records instructions and identify the person, approximate date, arresting agency, and any known case or booking number.
- For a Hiawassee Police Department incident or arrest record, use the Hiawassee Police Department at 706-896-2888, then use the City's Open Records Request form through City Clerk clerk@hiawasseega.gov. The Clerk's telephone is 706-896-2202, fax is 706-896-4991, and the address is 50 River Street, Hiawassee, GA 30546.
- For a Young Harris city record, no confirmed municipal police request form was found. Start with Young Harris city government; campus matters belong to Young Harris College Police, while TCSO remains the county jail-record custodian.
- For a Towns County court case or disposition, contact Clerk Eric Barrett at 48 River Street, Suite E, Hiawassee, GA 30546, telephone 706-896-2130, fax 706-896-5694, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Georgia Courts E-Access routes Towns Superior Court searches to PeachCourt.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender search. GDC also maintains an open-records request route for state-corrections records.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator, as applicable. Neither is a Towns County booking search.
