Once Peachtree City police make an arrest, the person goes to the Fayette County Jail. That is where booking happens. Staff at the jail log the charges, take fingerprints, and snap a booking photo. Bond gets set based on the charges. For minor offenses, bond can be paid right away. Serious charges may need a first appearance hearing before a judge.

The Fayette County Sheriff runs the jail. Call (770) 461-6353 to check on someone's status after a Peachtree City arrest. The jail staff can tell you if the person is in custody, what the bond is, and when the next court date falls. Booking can take a few hours from the time of arrest. During busy periods, the wait may be longer. Family members should allow several hours before calling to check on a booking.

Searching Peachtree City Booking Records

Fayette County does not currently offer a public online inmate search portal like some of the larger counties in Georgia. To find out about a Peachtree City booking, your best bet is to call the Fayette County Jail at (770) 461-6353. Give them the person's name and they can check the system for you. You can also visit the jail in person during business hours.

For broader searches, state-level tools can help. The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search tracks people in state prison. If someone arrested in Peachtree City was later sentenced to a state facility, that is where you would find their current status.
