Important: This is a privately owned website with no connection to any government body, sheriff's office, jail, or corrections department. Wells County Busted Mugshots and its advertising partners do not provide credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or other services governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The site helps readers locate jail, booking, and public-record resources for Wells County and Indiana; it is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
Purpose and Limits of the Site
Wells County Busted Mugshots is an independent reference site, not an office of Wells County or the State of Indiana. It does not maintain official records, verify a person's present custody status, arrange anyone's release, or submit legal or government documents on a visitor's behalf.
Its role is to direct readers to Wells County jail and booking-record resources and, where useful, to outside research services. Only the agency that created or holds a record can provide an authoritative copy or status.
