This page explains exactly how to check the name, how to handle a missing result, and where to look if the person has been released, transferred, or moved into New York State custody.

How to Search for Christopher Carr Butler
The Ulster County Sheriff’s public tool has a simple Type to Search field. Do not depend on one full-name attempt. Search progressively because booking systems may display middle names, initials, compound surnames, or name order differently.
- Open the official Sheriff’s search. Go to the Incarcerated Individuals Search/VINE page.
- Start with the surname. Enter Butler first and review any matching names.
- Try first and last name. Search Christopher Butler.
- Test the middle-name possibility. Try Christopher Carr, Carr Butler, and then the complete name Christopher Carr Butler.
- Open a possible record. Do not assume a similar name is the same person. Compare every identifier the Sheriff’s system provides.
- Record the inmate ID and custody information. If a verified match exists, save the inmate ID, custody status, booking date, holding facility, and any charge or bond fields displayed.
- Use VINE if you need status notifications. The Sheriff search includes a “Notify Me of Status Change” route for participating records.
What an Ulster County Inmate Record Can Show
Individual records in the Ulster County Sheriff’s system can contain substantially more information than a name-only jail roster. The exact fields depend on the record.
| Record field | What it means | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate ID | Identifier assigned within the custody system | Useful when calling the jail or distinguishing similar names |
| Custody status | Status shown by the jail system at that time | Use it to determine whether the record is currently listed in custody |
| Custody status date | Date and time associated with the current status | Helps judge how recent the record is |
| Booked date | Date and time of jail intake | Compare with the approximate arrest date |
| Holding facility | Facility code or location associated with custody | Confirm where the person is being held before arranging services |
| Charges | Allegations or charge codes associated with the record when published | Do not treat a listed charge as a conviction |
| Bond information | Bond type or amount when made public | Verify with the jail or court immediately before taking financial action |
| Disposition | A status or outcome field on some records | Use the actual court record when the final legal outcome matters |
If Christopher Carr Butler Does Not Appear
A blank result is only the beginning of the search. It does not automatically mean the person was never arrested or is not being held somewhere.
| Possible reason | What to do next |
|---|---|
| Booking is still being processed | For a very recent arrest, allow for transport, identification, fingerprinting and intake, then search again or call 845-340-3644. |
| Name is recorded differently | Try Butler alone, Christopher Butler, Christopher Carr, Carr Butler, a middle initial, suffix, or another legal spelling. |
| Person was already released | A current-custody system may stop showing a released person. Check the related court or arrest record instead. |
| Person was transferred | Check New York State DOCCS if sentencing or transfer into state correctional custody may have occurred. |
| Another county has custody | Confirm where the arrest occurred and which law-enforcement agency handled it. |
| City or local court case | The custody roster may not answer a court-status question. Check the appropriate court or clerk. |
| Federal custody | If the matter is federal, use the federal custody route rather than continuing to search a county roster. |
If the arresting location is uncertain, our county jail inmate search guide explains how to identify the correct county and custody system. If someone may still be in a municipal holding facility, see the city jail inmate search guide.
Ulster County Jail or New York State Prison?
This distinction is important. The Ulster County Sheriff search is for local jail custody. A person who has been sentenced and transferred into the New York State correctional system should instead be checked through the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision.
The official New York State Incarcerated Individual Lookup can search using a Department Identification Number (DIN), NYSID, or a name combined with birth year. It covers current state prisoners and certain former incarcerated individuals, subject to New York disclosure rules.
How to Check Charges or an Older Court Record
The jail roster answers a custody question. It should not be treated as a complete criminal-history or final court record.
The Ulster County Clerk Criminal Actions office files felony proceedings from Ulster County Supreme and County Courts. Proceedings from town, city and village courts remain with the applicable local court. Some records may also be sealed or otherwise restricted by law.
The County Clerk states that a Certificate of Conviction can be requested with the required form and a $5 fee, with an approximate processing time of 7–10 days. Use this route only when you actually need the formal court document rather than a live custody check.
Recent arrest information
The Sheriff’s Office also publishes Ulster County arrest reports. These reports are useful for researching recent law-enforcement activity, but an arrest report and a current jail roster answer different questions. A person can be arrested and later released, transferred, or never appear in the current roster you are viewing.
Older Sheriff’s records
If the information is no longer available through the live custody page, the Sheriff’s Office provides a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request process for releasable agency records. Disclosure can be limited where records are confidential, sealed, investigative, or otherwise legally restricted.
