Horry County Mugshots: Recent Bookings, Last 24 Hours, Jail Search, Bond & Court Records
For Horry County mugshots and recent arrests, the official starting point is Horry County Government’s Bookings & Releases application for J. Reuben Long Detention Center. Unlike counties that publish fixed 24-hour, 72-hour or 90-day lists, Horry County currently gives you three primary search fields: Last Name, Booking Date and Release Date.
Records Search
Court, Criminal, Marriage, Divorce, Property
That difference matters. A true last-24-hours search usually requires checking both today’s and yesterday’s booking dates. A three-day or seven-day search requires date-by-date searching unless you already know the person’s surname. After finding a booking, move to bond, court, police-report or inmate-service records depending on what you actually need.
Choose the Correct Horry County Record Before You Search
Recent arrest or mugshot
Search Horry County’s official Bookings & Releases application by surname or booking date.
Already left jail?
Use the same application and search by Release Date or last name.
Need the case outcome?
Use the South Carolina Judicial Branch Horry County Public Index instead of relying on the original jail charge.
Need the arrest or incident report?
Identify the arresting agency. Horry County Police, Myrtle Beach Police and other municipal departments maintain their own investigative records.
Use the jail booking system for intake, the Magistrate/Booking staff for current bond questions, the arresting agency for its incident report, and the court system for the later legal outcome.
Horry County Mugshots Last 24 Hours, 3 Days, 7 Days or 30 Days
The official booking application currently uses an individual Booking Date field instead of a visible rolling-period filter. That changes the correct search technique.
Swipe horizontally to see the full table.
| Search intent | Best method | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Today | Enter today’s calendar date in Booking Date. | Someone arrested late yesterday could be booked today. |
| Last 24 hours | Run one search for today and one for yesterday. | A 24-hour period crosses two calendar dates. Use booking time where shown to narrow precisely. |
| Last 3 days | Search each of the last three calendar dates. | The form does not currently show a dedicated 72-hour range selector. |
| Last 7 days | Search each date individually or search surname first. | A name search is more efficient when you are researching one person. |
| Last 30 days | For a known person, search surname and review booking dates. | A broad countywide 30-day browse can require many separate date searches. |
| Recently released | Use Release Date or surname. | Release does not mean the criminal case ended. |
| Older case | Use the Horry County Public Index or agency records. | The court record is more useful for later disposition. |
How to Use Horry County’s Official Bookings & Releases Search
Choose the strongest search field
The current form provides Last Name, Booking Date and Release Date. You do not need to treat all three as required fields.
Use Last Name when researching a person
This is normally the fastest method when you already know who you are looking for.
Use Booking Date when researching a day’s arrests
This is the correct field for today’s bookings, yesterday’s bookings or another known calendar date.
Use Release Date if the person may already be out
A short detention can end before friends, relatives or researchers perform the search.
Verify the matching person
Compare the displayed booking information, identifiers, date, charge information and arresting agency. Do not attribute an arrest solely because a first and last name look similar.
Record the arresting agency
This tells you where to request the underlying incident or arrest report.
Move to the court index
When your question becomes “what happened after the arrest?”, leave the jail database and use the Horry County court record.
The booking application states that Horry County cannot validate the accuracy of every item displayed and is not responsible for inaccuracies that may be posted. Use it as the official booking lookup, but verify important legal conclusions through the court record or responsible agency.
What a Horry County Booking Record Can—and Cannot—Tell You
| Field | Useful meaning | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Booking date | Date associated with detention intake. | That it is the exact date or time of the alleged incident. |
| Mugshot | Booking photograph where available. | That the person is guilty. |
| Booking number | Identifier associated with a detention record. | That a similar name without a matching identifier is the same person. |
| Arresting agency | Helps identify which law-enforcement agency controls the underlying report. | That the Detention Center wrote the incident report. |
| Charge | Allegation associated with the arrest/case stage. | That it remained the final charge. |
| Bond | Release-related amount or condition at that stage. | That the displayed amount can be paid without checking for other charges or holds. |
| Release date | Indicates a release-related event. | That the criminal case was dismissed. |
| Court case | Judicial record for what happened after arrest. | That the booking record substitutes for the later docket. |
No Horry County Mugshot or Booking Result? Check These Possibilities
Wrong surname spelling
Retry the legal last name and known spelling variations.
Wrong booking date
The date you heard about the arrest may differ from the actual booking date.
Already released
Use the Release Date field or search by surname.
Wrong jurisdiction
Horry County contains multiple municipal police jurisdictions.
State custody
If the person was sentenced to state prison, use SCDC.
Federal custody
Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal incarceration.
Juvenile or restricted record
Some records are not publicly available like ordinary adult bookings.
Sealed or expunged information
Public access can change after qualifying legal relief.
Bookings & Releases → Booking at 843-915-6911 → Horry County Public Index → arresting-agency records → SCDC/BOP if custody changed.
Horry County Law Enforcement Is More Complicated Than One Sheriff’s Department
One of the biggest local content gaps on generic Horry County mugshot pages is agency responsibility.
The Horry County Sheriff’s Office oversees J. Reuben Long Detention Center, court security, civil process, criminal warrants and several other Sheriff functions. Horry County Police Department provides county policing in its jurisdiction. Separate municipal agencies also police incorporated communities.
HCPD’s own online-report system specifically excludes incidents inside Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, Aynor and Loris. Those communities have separate municipal jurisdictional arrangements.
Myrtle Beach Police maintains its own reports and FOIA process. Public incident-report copies are available through the department’s records resources.
The City of North Myrtle Beach provides its own municipal FOIA request system for records in the City’s possession.
Surfside Beach Police requires its specific police FOIA form for Police Department FOIA requests.
A person arrested by Myrtle Beach Police can still appear in the J. Reuben Long booking system, but the police incident report remains a Myrtle Beach Police record. Jail location and arresting-agency record ownership are different questions.

Horry County Bond: Hearing Times, Payment Methods and Scam Warning
Horry County’s bond procedures contain several local details worth knowing before traveling to the detention center or paying money.
Typical bond-hearing times
The county states that bond hearings and guilty pleas typically occur around 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., but those times can change with the Magistrate’s schedule.
Magistrate Office hours
- Monday–Friday: 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
- Saturday, Sunday and holidays: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Where are bonds posted?
Cash and surety bonds are posted in the Magistrate’s Office.
| Payment type | Current county instruction |
|---|---|
| Cash | Accepted. The county instructs cash payers to bring the exact amount. |
| Money order | Accepted. |
| Major credit card | Accepted under the current county instructions. |
| Personal check | Not accepted. |
Cash and Dash
Horry County uses the term Cash and Dash for qualifying bondable pay offenses that do not require the person to go before a Magistrate Judge for bond.
The bondable amount paid is the fine amount, but the defendant still must appear in court on the date listed on the ticket.
Some serious charges require Circuit Court bond
Horry County states that Magistrate judges cannot set bond on charges including murder, accessory before the fact of murder and criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Those hearings are scheduled through the Solicitor’s Office and bond is handled by a Circuit Court Judge in General Sessions.
The Sheriff’s Office states that it will never collect bond payment over the phone. If someone calls demanding immediate payment, stop and verify the inmate and bond through Booking at 843-915-6911 or the Magistrate’s Office.
Victims: Who Schedules Bond Hearings and How to Get Release Alerts
When a crime victim is involved, Horry County’s Victim Services unit has an important role that generic jail pages often miss.
The county states that Victim Services schedules bond hearings, guilty pleas and other detention-center proceedings involving victims so victims can receive the notice required by South Carolina law.
SAVIN release notifications
South Carolina Victim Information and Notification, or SAVIN, communicates with the J. Reuben Long booking system in near real time and can notify registered victims when an offender is being released.
Depending on registration, notification can be delivered by telephone, text and/or email.
How to Check What Happened After a Horry County Arrest
Horry County is in South Carolina’s Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. The court record becomes the key source once your question moves beyond intake and custody.
Use a case number when you have one
A case number is usually safer than relying only on a common name.
If searching by name, verify carefully
Compare available identifiers and case details. A common surname can return unrelated cases.
Read beyond the first docket entry
Look for subsequent charging, hearing, plea, trial and disposition information rather than repeating the original jail allegation.
Contact the Clerk if the online record does not answer the question
Use the appropriate Clerk office for official assistance.

The Solicitor also publishes Horry County General Sessions trial rosters. A roster is useful when you need scheduled trial-session information, but a case-specific docket should still be checked for the most relevant procedural history.
Preliminary hearing detail
The Fifteenth Circuit’s victim-information guidance states that a defendant may request a preliminary hearing within 10 days of arrest. The purpose is to determine whether probable cause exists to continue the case and bond requirements.
Horry County preliminary hearings are held at the Central Jury Court, 1201 Third Avenue #146, Conway, SC 29526. Official notice provides the actual date and time.

The Public Defender instructs defendants to attend the dates listed on their bond paperwork. Missing a required court date can result in a bench warrant.
The office also states that a defendant will meet with a Public Defender representative at the first court appearance, and an attorney interview can be scheduled after the attorney receives the case evidence.
How to Get a Horry County Police Department Report
Horry County Police Department publishes a useful distinction based on whether your name appears on the report.
If your name is on the report
After allowing a few days for the report to be completed and verified, HCPD says you can request a copy at a patrol precinct. Bring:
- Photo identification
- The case number, if known
- Or the address and date of the occurrence
If your name is on the report, the department states that the copy is provided free of charge.
If your name is not on the report
HCPD currently charges $2.00 for a precinct copy and says only exact change is accepted. Identifying information can be redacted as required by law.
HCPD allows an email route when you filed the report or your name appears on it. If your name is not on the report, the department instructs you to visit a precinct or use the county FOIA process instead.

Horry County FOIA: Fees and Micro-Step Request Guide
Use Horry County’s Freedom of Information Act process when you need multiple police reports, broader records, 911 audio, video or another county public record not available through a simpler direct process.
Describe the record precisely
Include department, incident/case number if available, location, date range, names and exact record type.
Avoid unnecessary scope
If you only need one incident report, say so. Broad wording can increase staff search and review time.
Review the cost before production
The county states that full payment is required before requested records are produced.

The county currently limits shipments to up to three publications, with additional frequency restrictions.

The county currently links to McDaniel Supply Company for online inmate-account deposits. Service fees may apply.

| Attention | Inmate’s first and last name |
Commissary: Ordering Schedule and Indigent Packages
McDaniel Supply Company currently provides commissary services at J. Reuben Long.
General-population commissary orders are processed Monday and Thursday mornings and delivered Tuesday and Friday mornings. Money needs to be in the inmate’s account before the applicable processing time.
The county says inmates housed in maximum-security areas have access to hygiene products and writing materials through commissary rather than the broader general-population item list.
Indigent inmate criteria
Under the current county rules, an inmate can qualify for an indigent package after meeting all applicable conditions, including:
- At least 15 days incarcerated
- Less than $5 in the account for 14 consecutive days
- No commissary orders during the previous 14 days
The indigent package includes basic hygiene items and writing materials.
Release, Short Sentences, Work Credits and Transportation
Horry County publishes unusually detailed local information for inmates serving qualifying short sentences.
Who serves short sentences at J. Reuben Long?
The county states that inmates sentenced to 90 days or less on criminal charges, as well as people serving qualifying Family Court sentences, serve those sentences at J. Reuben Long.
Sentence-time calculations are updated daily after 2:00 p.m..
Work-credit sentence reduction
Eligible inmates can earn two days of sentence reduction for every one day worked.
Before work credit can begin, the inmate must:
- Be sentenced on all charges
- Be medically cleared
- Be assigned an inmate job
The county notes that a sentencing judge can deny work credits.
Good-time reduction
Horry County states that qualifying good-time credits are earned at the rate of one day reduction for every two days served after sentencing.
Charges, sentences, credit eligibility and judicial restrictions can differ. Use the detention center’s classification/release information for the actual date.
Transportation after release
Released inmates are responsible for transportation. Horry County states that Coast RTA makes scheduled stops at the detention center.
The current county page lists:
- J. Reuben Long to Conway: $3.00
- Conway Bus Station to Myrtle Beach: additional $1.50
The county says indigent released inmates needing transportation from Conway to Myrtle Beach can ask administrative staff about a bus pass.
Home Detention: A Person Can Be Outside the Jail but Still Considered Incarcerated
Horry County operates a Home Detention program that can be ordered as a condition of bond.
The program currently uses:
- GPS monitoring
- SCRAM — Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitoring
Horry County states that defendants on Home Detention are considered incarcerated even though they are permitted to live in their own homes under continuous monitoring.
PREA and Sexual-Abuse Reporting
J. Reuben Long maintains a zero-tolerance policy for sexual assault, sexual victimization and sexual harassment under its Prison Rape Elimination Act procedures.
The detention center currently lists 843-248-1520 for reporting sexual assault or victimization concerns.
Use emergency or official facility/law-enforcement channels when someone’s safety is at risk. A public-record article is not an emergency reporting service.
Where to Search After Transfer to South Carolina State Prison
Once someone is serving a sentence in the South Carolina Department of Corrections system, J. Reuben Long is no longer the correct custody database.
Read the search disclaimer
SCDC’s search is for people currently sentenced to and incarcerated in state Corrections custody.
Search and verify the identity
Compare identifying details before treating a similar-name result as the correct person.
A person can disappear from the county’s current custody workflow after transfer while continuing to have an active criminal record and state-custody record.
Can a Horry County Mugshot or Arrest Record Be Expunged?
South Carolina expungement depends on the charge, disposition, court and statutory eligibility. Not every arrest or conviction can be expunged.
Horry County’s Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor currently provides a dedicated Horry County Expungement Screening process.
Horry County Expungement Contact
Horry County Judicial Center
1301 Second Avenue
Conway, SC 29528
Expungement contact: 843-915-8624
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

General Sessions expungement process
For eligible General Sessions matters, the South Carolina Judicial Branch directs the applicant to the Solicitor in the circuit where the offense occurred.
| Potential fee | Current statewide amount |
|---|---|
| Solicitor administrative fee | $250 when applicable |
| SLED verification fee | $25 when applicable |
| County Clerk filing fee | $35 when applicable |
Statutory exemptions apply in certain cases. For example, the Judicial Branch describes an administrative-fee exemption for qualifying General Sessions non-convictions under the applicable state statute, subject to the plea-arrangement exception.
Qualifying Magistrate or Municipal Court dismissals
Current South Carolina Judicial Branch procedures require qualifying summary courts to expunge specified records when the accused is found not guilty or the charge is dismissed or nolle prossed, subject to statutory exceptions.
For qualifying summary-court charges covered by the current procedure, the South Carolina Judicial Branch states that the charge must be removed from internet-based public records no later than 30 days from the disposition date.
If the defendant was not fingerprinted
A qualifying person may need to submit the state’s current Application for Expungement to the summary court. The Judicial Branch says no fee may be charged for qualifying expungements under that statutory process.
What expungement does not control
The Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor specifically warns that its expungement process cannot erase:
- Information independently released by news media
- Private-agency publications
- Third-party internet information outside the government’s control
Verify the legal disposition and completed expungement order through the appropriate court or Solicitor process.

Common Horry County Mugshot Search Mistakes
Searching one calendar date for an exact 24 hours
A rolling 24-hour window can cross yesterday and today.
Using the publication date of a news story
The publication date may not equal the actual booking date.
Assuming release means dismissal
Release changes custody, not necessarily the criminal case.
Calling Horry County Police the Sheriff’s Office
They perform different county functions.
Requesting a Myrtle Beach Police report from HCPD
Use the agency that actually created the report.
Using old inmate communication vendors
Horry County transitioned to NCIC in November 2025.
Sending legal mail to the Texas scanner
Legal and medical mail follow separate facility rules.
Mailing cash for an inmate account
The county expressly prohibits cash through U.S. Mail.
Paying bond to a caller
The Sheriff’s Office says it does not collect bond payment by phone.
Stopping at the mugshot
The court docket is necessary to understand what happened later.
Responsible Use of Horry County Arrest Information
- A mugshot is not proof of guilt.
- Verify identity before attributing a booking to a person with a common name.
- Separate arrest-stage charges from later prosecution and disposition.
- Do not use booking information for harassment, stalking, intimidation or extortion.
- Respect juvenile, sealed, expunged and otherwise restricted records.
- Do not use a mugshot or jail roster as a substitute for a legally compliant consumer report in employment, housing, credit, insurance or similar decisions.
- Use the live government source before paying money or relying on time-sensitive information.
Frequently Asked Questions About Horry County Mugshots

Booking systems, communication vendors, visitation prices, mail procedures, bond schedules, FOIA charges and court procedures can change. Time-sensitive details in this guide were reviewed against the linked official sources on August 30, 2026. Confirm the current government instructions before sending money, traveling to an office, requesting records or filing legal paperwork.
Bottom Line
For Horry County mugshots from the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days or recent bookings, use Horry County Government’s own Bookings & Releases system. Because the search uses individual Booking Date and Release Date fields rather than fixed rolling lists, exact timeframe searches require a slightly different method than many other counties.
Then follow the record forward. Confirm current bond with Booking or the Detention Center Magistrate, use the Horry County Public Index for court activity, request the actual incident report from the agency that created it, use current NCIC instructions for communication and visitation, and use the Fifteenth Circuit/South Carolina Judicial Branch procedures if expungement later becomes relevant.
The important distinction is: the booking shows the detention event; the jail tells you custody and bond information; the arresting agency controls its investigative report; and the court record shows how the criminal case ultimately proceeds.
