Find Severn Arrest Records Online
Anne Arundel County offers one tool that most Maryland counties do not. The Anne Arundel County Inmate Locator lets you search for people held at county detention facilities. You search by first name, last name, or Jail Identification Number. The system requires an exact match, so "John" will not find "Jon." This is a free tool and it works from any device. It does not show jail mugshots, but it tells you if someone from Severn is in custody at one of the county facilities.
The Maryland Judiciary Case Search covers all courts in the state. You can look up criminal cases from Severn by searching the defendant's name. Results show charges, court dates, and case outcomes in Anne Arundel County courts. The system covers both the District Court and the Circuit Court. It does not display jail mugshots. But the case numbers and charge details help when you need to file a records request for booking photos from a Severn arrest.

Severn Mugshot Records Requests
To get actual jail mugshots from a Severn arrest, you file a request under the Maryland Public Information Act. Anne Arundel County has an online PIA portal at aacounty.org/pia where you can submit requests electronically. The portal covers police records, detention facility records, and other county departments. For booking photos specifically, select "Detention Facilities" as the topic and then choose "Booking Photos" from the options.
The form asks for your full name, address, email, and phone number. You describe the records you want and set a maximum fee you are willing to pay. The county gives you a fee estimate before processing. You also explain your relationship to the records. Response time is within 30 days under Maryland law. The county will notify you within 10 working days if your request is approved, denied, or if they need more information from you.
Anne Arundel County charges $5 for a police report and $5 for CAD notes. Archived report retrieval costs $35. Color photo copies are $1 each. The first two hours of search time are free. After that, you pay based on the hourly rate of the staff member doing the work. For a simple request for one Severn jail mugshot, the cost usually stays within the free window.
You can also mail your request to the Anne Arundel County Police Department, Central Records, 8495 Veterans Highway, Millersville, MD 21108. Include as much detail as you can about the arrest and the person involved.
