Baraga County Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, release a person, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the government office responsible for the record.

For a written county request, contact FOIA Coordinator Wendy J. Goodreau at 2 South Main Street, L’Anse, MI 49946, email goodreauw@baragacounty.org, or phone 906-524-6100. Put “FOIA” or “FOIA Request” in an email subject. The county’s official documents page links its FOIA summary and policy.
- For a booking record or photo request, begin with the home page’s official-source path, then contact the sheriff or county FOIA coordinator.
- For same-day custody, use the sheriff’s line and consult Arrested Today.
- For multi-day reports, see Arrest Reports; news coverage is selective and not a county roster.

- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Michigan Department of Corrections OTIS search.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator linked from the home page.
An arrest, charge, or booking image is not a conviction. Everyone is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
