Rogers City Busted Mugshots and Arrests
Rogers City is the Presque Isle County seat. The 2020 count put it at 2,850 residents, per the Michigan Manual place table. Its own Rogers City Police Department patrols around the clock. Chief Jamie Meyer heads the department. Patrol work and county booking are two different functions, though. That difference matters when you want both an arrest report and a jail intake record.
A city officer can make the stop. The person still ends up lodged at the Presque Isle County Jail, 267 N 2nd Street. The Sheriff calls it the county's only verified jail. Capacity is 24 inmates. Once someone is lodged there, the Sheriff's records route becomes the practical source for booking and intake files. The city police may keep their own incident report from the same event. The two documents overlap. Neither substitutes for the other.
This section covers Rogers City busted mugshots and arrest records for Presque Isle County.
Where Rogers City Busted Mugshots Appear
Rogers City has no official photo-search route. The police department's page covers the agency and its patrols, and it offers no arrest log, bookings view, daily bulletin, mugshot policy, or gallery of any kind. The county jail page is much the same. It describes the facility rather than serving as an online roster. So a city arrest simply is not the same thing as a searchable public booking record, and no official source will treat it as one.
| Channel | Photo or booking result | Status | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rogers City Police Department | No public arrest log, current-bookings view, or photo display verified. | Official city source | Use the department contact and City FOIA route for a city-held report or image. |
| Presque Isle County Jail | No public name search, roster entries, booking-feed fields, or photos were found. | Official county source | Confirm the jail destination, then use Sheriff Records for a person-specific request. |
| Sheriff Records | A booking photograph may be requested if one was taken and can be released. | Official county records route | Ask for the booking or intake record and photograph, if taken, with a date range and arresting agency. |
| The Alpena News Rogers City blotter | Monthly activity and arrest reporting, not a systematic photo or custody feed. | Independent local news | Use it as dated reporting only, then verify status through the agency or court. |
| Mugshots.com county archive | Archive-like city and arrest-year filters include Rogers City. | Unofficial and potentially stale | It is not a city, jail, or current-custody record. Do not treat an entry as proof of present detention. |
Start with the official sources, since they can name the record custodian directly. The last two rows are secondary context. A newspaper story may cover an arrest, lodging, release, or later court action. An archive entry may reflect an older record. Its outcome or custody status may have changed since it was filed.
Busted in Rogers City: Booking Lookup
Neither Rogers City nor Presque Isle County publishes a name-search page. The practical route follows the event from city arrest to county record holder. For more county-level context on the missing roster and booking feeds, see the Presque Isle County booking and roster route. Keep three things straight from the start: the date, the arresting agency, and the gap between an arrest report and a jail intake record.
- Contact Rogers City Police through the non-emergency line to ask whether the city holds an incident report and whether an incident or complaint number is available.
- If the person may have been lodged locally, contact Sheriff Records and ask whether the person was held, released, transferred, or was not in county custody during a stated date range.
- Request the specific existing record: a Rogers City police report for the city event, or a county booking or intake record for the jail event.
- For a possible image, ask for a booking photograph only if one was taken, and ask which agency holds it and what lawful limits apply to release.
- Retain the response and its date. If a person is no longer in county custody, a court file or a state-supervision record may describe a later stage, but neither proves the original booking details by itself.
State custody runs on a separate track. MDOC OTIS lists people under Michigan Department of Corrections supervision. It does not cover fresh arrests or the county jail population. A photo there, when one shows up, is a corrections profile image. It is not evidence of a Rogers City booking photo.
Note: A dated news item or archive result cannot establish whether someone is just booked, currently held, released, transferred, or sentenced.
Rogers City FOIA and Booking Records
The city route runs through the Rogers City FOIA policy and its procedures document. Use it for police reports, city-held incident photographs, dispatch items, or other municipal files. Send the request to the City Clerk/Treasurer. Describe the record with enough detail that staff can actually find it. The city publishes no separate booking-photo fee or response timeline. Ask for an itemized estimate, and confirm whether the item was passed along to the Sheriff.
The contact details below separate the city report route from the county booking route. That split keeps a police-report request from going to the jail. It also keeps an intake-file request from landing at city hall.

Rogers City Busted Records: City and Sheriff
County records follow the Sheriff's instructions. Mail a $10 check or money order, plus the complaint or incident number if you have it, the incident date, and a self-addressed stamped envelope addressed to Attn: Records. Reports over ten pages cost $20. Photographs, if taken, carry a fee that varies by prints. The office may ask for a formal FOIA request on top of that, so make the first inquiry specific rather than broad.
| Request item | Verified local cost or condition |
|---|---|
| Report copy | $10 check or money order under the Sheriff's published records instructions. |
| Report over ten pages | $20 under the Sheriff's published fee language. |
| Photograph, if taken | Variable print fee; availability and release are not promised. |
| City-held record | No separate Rogers City booking-photo fee was verified; ask the City Clerk/Treasurer for an itemized estimate. |
Word the county request as "booking/intake record and booking photograph, if taken." Add the name, the approximate date, and the arresting agency. Then ask directly which office holds the record: the Sheriff, Rogers City Police, or a court. If any part gets withheld, request the stated basis for that decision. Ask also for any segregable portion that can be released. One limit is firm. The process can find a custodian, but it cannot force an agency to create a roster or a photograph that never existed.
Rogers City Has No Public Booking Feed
Want to see who got booked in Rogers City lately? You'll hit a wall. Neither the Rogers City police page nor the Sheriff's public jail page offers a daily or multi-day booking feed. There is no search box on the jail page either. You cannot look up a name, booking number, date, charge, or custody status. No result cards appear anywhere. No booking photos are shown. The page states no update time and no policy for keeping records online. That gap is about access, plain and simple. The records likely exist in internal systems; the public just has no web window into them.
| Possible status | What the public local pages establish | Appropriate next source |
|---|---|---|
| Just booked | No official city or county web feed verifies the intake. | Ask Sheriff Records about a date-bounded booking event. |
| Currently in county custody | No public roster verifies the person is held. | Ask the Sheriff for the available custody-confirmation process. |
| Released or transferred | No local public feed tracks the change. | Request the relevant record and verify later court information separately. |
| Under MDOC supervision | A county-jail page does not show this status. | Use OTIS only for the eligible state-supervision population. |
Note: A booking file may be retained without a public web listing, and retention does not promise online display or release.
Rogers City Arrest Reports and Archive Caution
Local newspapers fill part of the gap. The 2021 Rogers City police blotter from The Alpena News sums up a month of arrests, traffic stops, investigations, and assists. Helpful, yes. But a monthly blotter is not a live arrest log, a current-custody list, or a booking-photo archive. The regional paper also covers later court events, which shows how a case moved past the initial booking. Still, a news story is a story. For present status, ask the agency or the court.
The Presque Isle County Advance sits closest to home among county papers. Its online pages carry no regularly updated arrest, booking, or mugshot section, though. To see how the county's news channels differ from official records, the Presque Isle arrest news coverage page lays it out. One caution applies to both papers. Neither substitutes for a jail roster when you need hard custody facts.
Mugshots.com stands out as the only major aggregator with a Presque Isle County section and a Rogers City filter. Treat it as a lead, not an authority. Its city and arrest-year filters tell you nothing about where a photo came from, whether the person is still in custody, or how the case ended in court. Think of it as an unofficial historical trail. It comes after the official sources in any search.
