Questions about official Macon County criminal records usually belong with the office that created or keeps the record. The Macon County Justice Center in Lafayette houses both the sheriff and the Circuit Court Clerk, but each office has a different role. The contacts below route court files to the clerk, sheriff and jail material to Macon County Sheriff, and statewide history requests to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. This website is private and cannot receive or fulfill an official records request.

This Is Not a Government Office. This is a privately operated reference site. It cannot retrieve criminal records, conduct an official background check, change a record, or accept a Tennessee expungement filing. Contact the government custodian that holds the requested material.

  • Court files and certified dispositions: use the Macon County court case lookup or call the Circuit Court Clerk at 615-666-2354
  • Tennessee criminal history and name checks: order through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and its TORIS service
  • City police reports: request the report from Lafayette Police or Red Boiling Springs Police, whichever agency created it
  • Expungement: begin with the clerk of the court where the Macon County charge originated
