These records include information about the defendant, charges, the timeline of hearings, arrest dates, physical description of the offender, offender’s attorney, and the judge hearing the case. Mugshots may be available through the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office. You can search by name, case number, or date filed. For federal court records, you can contact the United States District Court.
