Andrews Busted Mugshots
Andrews counted 2,575 residents in the 2020 Census, which makes it the second-largest town in Georgetown County. It has its own police force. Jail space, though, comes from the county. GCDC says it books and houses anyone arrested in the county by local law enforcement, and its cards name the arresting agency, so a booking tied to an Andrews arrest can be spotted that way.
Two offices matter here. Ask the Andrews Police Department about a municipal incident or report. Check GCDC's Booking and Release tool for anyone taken into county custody. The agency label on a booking card connects the two files, but they stay separate records.
GCDC handles county intake duties, including photographs and fingerprints. That arrangement helps because an APD incident can exist without any county booking, and a GCDC card can show that county intake followed an Andrews arrest. The question you are asking decides which office has the record you need.
Andrews Booking Record Sources
The town posts no online arrest log. There is no daily bulletin, jail roster, or booking-photo page either. No town channel works as an arrest feed. For anyone actually booked into county custody, GCDC's official interface is the main channel, and it searches by name, booking date, and release date.
A public card can show a front booking photo, age or date of birth, booking time, arresting agency, booked charges, bond when posted, and release details. The photo itself stays at the county portal. Match the result carefully against the person and the date, since common names trip up searches.
| Channel | What it can answer | Official? | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GCDC Booking and Release | County booking, custody, or release search | Yes | Does not decide the court outcome |
| APD or Town request route | Municipal incident or report inquiry | Yes | No public town roster was found |
| GCSO News Archive | Selected agency announcements | Yes | Not a full list of bookings |
| Recently Booked county node | Secondary countywide cards | No | May be incomplete or stale |
| Arrests.org county path | Indexed county records and agency labels | No | Direct research access was restricted |
GCSO News Archive posts dated releases about selected county activity, so it works well when you want an official account of something recent. For raw booking lists, two outside sites exist. The Recently Booked county page and Arrests.org both pull Georgetown arrest data, but neither is tied to the county. Coverage can lag. Entries sometimes stick around after an official change. Use them as clues, then confirm anything you find through GCDC, GCSO, or the court.
GCDC's date filters are the official route for a suspected same-day booking in Andrews or anywhere else in the county. No dedicated three-day, week-long, or Andrews-only feed exists. Run a booking-date search across each date you care about, then switch to the release-date filter when you want a separate look at who got out.
Search Andrews Busted Bookings
A town arrest report and a county booking can surface at different times. Need current custody or a booking photo? Start with the official jail record. The GCDC FAQ notes that new charge and bond fields can still be processing. There is no branded daily Andrews view, so use the countywide date control for the suspected day. Then confirm the Andrews Police Department agency field on any match. More countywide booking guidance sits on the Georgetown County records page.
- Search the full name in the GCDC interface before narrowing the date.
- Select a likely booking date for a fresh arrest. Select a release date when looking for a documented GCDC release.
- Match the card using age or date of birth, booking time, and Andrews Police Department as the arresting agency when shown.
- Read charge and bond fields as booking-stage information. GCDC says charge posting can wait for warrant service.
- Use the official court search for the later case record, not the booking card, when the question concerns disposition.
A blank county search does not mean nothing happened. A citation, a summons, or an event handled without county detention may never generate a GCDC card. For that narrower question, town records or direct APD contact is the next route.
Andrews Police Records
The Town's documents page links a current FOIA Policy and Request Form. That form is the documented municipal route for anything tied to an Andrews incident. No recipient, fee schedule, or response timetable appears in the linked material. So use the current form or direct Town contact rather than assuming a fee or deadline.

Want a Georgetown County jail booking record or photo tied to Andrews? The town's municipal paperwork will not get you there. The detention side is held at the county level. Route your ask through the GCSO FOIA Admin, which takes both online submissions and written requests. Name the person. Give a rough date. Say plainly whether you want the booking photo, the roster entry, or something else, since a clearer description means less chance your jail record request gets tangled with an ordinary Andrews police incident report. One practical caution: nobody has confirmed a set fee or turnaround time for the town. Check with the receiving office before you send money or circle a date on the calendar. Silence on that front does not mean the service is free. Also note that the GCSO request path covers only the detention records it keeps, not every municipal paper that might relate to the same person or event.
Andrews Busted Bond Schedule
Bond Court for Andrews municipal cases convenes at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. each day, per the GCDC listing. So a fresh booking often shows an empty bond field at first. Nothing is wrong. The detention center waits on Bond Court paperwork before that number appears, and the center itself neither sets bond nor fixes a release date. A booking card is a living record, too. Fields can shift while intake wraps up and the court does its work, and a release-date result only tells you someone left GCDC, not why. For case-specific answers, search the Georgetown Public Index or call the court directly, keeping confidentiality rules in mind.
Note: The posted Bond Court schedule describes processing for Andrews bookings, not a promised release time for any named person.
Andrews Arrest News
Sheriff's Office releases mention Andrews incidents now and then, and local outlets add more. GAB News Online runs recurring GCSO incident-report roundups plus separate stories that touch the town, and it is careful to tell an arrest apart from a citation, a warrant, or a routine call. Helpful as that is, it is not a roster. Some bookings will slip past it. Regional television covers Andrews as well. WMBF News, WPDE, and their competitors break event-specific stories, and any of them should be weighed against official GCDC and court records rather than taken alone. The broader Georgetown County crime news inventory sorts official releases from local and regional coverage. For the municipal contact channel, the Town's Andrews Police Department information is the authoritative source.
The split is simple. Route municipal requests through the Town contact and detention questions through the county system. A news story or social-media mention never substitutes for the official booking card.
Andrews Busted Booking Boundaries
GCDC offers search fields for booking and release dates. GCSO, though, has never promised a fixed refresh schedule or a guaranteed online-retention window. The roster works best when you need someone just booked, currently held, or documented as released inside the county system. Once a person transfers to South Carolina Department of Corrections custody, the state system takes over. An older GCDC card says nothing about that later move. A 2024 groundbreaking release confirms a new detention center is coming. It promises no replacement portal or transition date, though. So stick with the live GCDC Booking and Release interface for current facts. Confirm changes with GCSO before trusting old contact details. That habit keeps an Andrews search anchored to the real custodian instead of an assumed feed. Older results deserve equal caution. The interface has shown usable public history, yet GCSO does not guarantee that any particular old card stays visible, nor account for every result's persistence. Need formal confirmation of a historic Andrews booking? Send a FOIA request to GCSO. Keep it distinct from an APD request for the underlying municipal report. Custody has edges past the county line. Someone released from GCDC may still face an open court case. Anyone sentenced into state corrections belongs in the state lookup instead. A county booking result is a fine starting point for Andrews research, but it never captures later court action or every form of custody.
