This is a private reference service, not a government office. It has no affiliation with a sheriff, jail, corrections department, court, or other public body. Neither this site nor its advertising partners offers services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The pages are for locating public resources in Swain County and North Carolina, not for investigation or eligibility decisions.
What the Service Provides
The site points readers toward jail, sheriff, police, court, state, federal, news, and records-request sources. It stores no official custody roster, booking gallery, arrest file, or court file. It cannot confirm release, resolve a warrant, file a petition, or provide legal advice.
Acceptable Use
- Follow all applicable laws while using the pages.
- Do not stalk, harass, threaten, or target another person.
- Do not use information for hiring, housing, lending, insurance, licensing, or other eligibility decisions.
- Do not attempt unauthorized access to the service or its systems.
- Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated collection against the pages.
- Do not disrupt availability or interfere with another visitor’s use.
FCRA Boundary
The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not provide background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Information from this service, its pages, and partner tools may not be used for hiring or firing, housing or tenant screening, creditworthiness, insurance premiums, licensing, permits, government-program eligibility, or any other FCRA-covered purpose.
Outside Links and Tools
Links may lead to the Swain County Sheriff’s Office, detention center, Bryson City Police, North Carolina courts, NCDAC, BOP, ICE, news outlets, or outside search services. Their content, pricing, privacy practices, uptime, and results are outside this site’s control. A link is not an endorsement. Review the destination’s terms before submitting information.
No Warranties
The service is supplied “as is.” No promise is made about accuracy, completeness, currency, uninterrupted access, error-free operation, security, or the thoroughness of partner results. Custody status and public records change. Nothing here is an official statement from a Swain County office or any government agency.
Liability and Indemnity
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is not responsible for damages arising from access to or use of the service, linked tools, or information. By using the service, you agree to hold the site and its operators harmless from claims arising from your use, your violation of these terms, or your unlawful conduct, including reasonable legal fees.
Ownership and Changes
Text, graphics, logos, layout, and code belong to Swain County Busted Mugshots or its content partners. Copying, distributing, or modifying them requires written permission unless the law allows it. Terms may be changed at any time by posting a new version. Access may be limited or revoked without notice for any reason.
North Carolina Law
These terms are governed by the laws of North Carolina. Disputes must be filed in courts located in North Carolina, subject to any rule that requires another forum. If one provision is invalid, the remaining provisions remain effective and the invalid part will be narrowed only as needed.
Questions About These Terms
Questions may be sent through the Contacts page. Questions about an arrest, booking, warrant, photo, custody status, or disposition must go to the official office that holds that record.
