Cottonwood County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, verify a release, post bond, release a person, or obtain an official booking record. Direct those matters to the appropriate government custodian.
Official Records Contacts
Use the agency that holds the kind of record needed. Current local office practices should be confirmed before acting on them.
Cottonwood County Sheriff’s Office, records requests
902 Fifth Avenue
Windom, MN 56101
Phone: 507-831-1375
Records contact: Pamela Hogan
Office hours listed by the Sheriff: 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Dispatch is listed as available 24 hours a day. The Sheriff FAQ is the official starting point for a county booking or records question.
Cottonwood County District Court
900 Third Avenue
Windom, MN 56101
Phone: 507-831-7003
For a case’s later court status, use the Cottonwood court page or Minnesota Court Records Online. A court record is the appropriate place to check a disposition; a booking entry is an accusation and not a conviction.
Minnesota Department of Corrections Records Management
Phone: 651-361-7330

The MNDOC records-request page applies to state corrections records. It does not replace a request for a Cottonwood County booking record.
For a person in federal Bureau of Prisons custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For current ICE or qualifying CBP custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither federal tool is a comprehensive source for Cottonwood County arrests or a county booking-photo source.
- For current county custody, a jail roster entry, or an adult booking-record request, begin with the Sheriff’s Office and its official roster.
- For an alleged warrant or a warrant-list question, use the Sheriff’s public warrant list and confirm a serious question with the Sheriff or court.
- For a case event, court date, or final disposition, use the District Court or MCRO rather than treating a roster line as the final outcome.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, consult MNDOC’s records office or Public Viewer, which covers state custody rather than county intake.
- For a correction or data-classification question, ask the original custodian to identify the relevant record and legal basis for any withheld material.
