This private reference is not a government office. It cannot confirm a person’s custody or release, obtain an official booking file, post bond, or act for an agency. Direct those requests to the responsible public office below.
Start With the Record Owner
For a sheriff-created record, contact the Ritchie County Sheriff’s Office and ask for the records custodian. Ritchie County’s current-custody facility is the state-operated North Central Regional Jail system, so WVDCR or NCRJ may hold a custody profile or booking material instead. No published sheriff records hours, separate records extension, booking-photo fee, or dedicated online request form was located. Call before sending a request.
Ritchie County Sheriff’s Office
109 E. North Street
Harrisville, WV 26362
Phone: 304-643-2262
Ask for the records custodian and confirm whether the sheriff, arresting department, or WVDCR holds the requested item.
North Central Regional Jail and Correctional Facility
1 Lois Lane
Greenwood, WV 26415
Phone: 304-873-1384
Use for regional-jail custody routing, not as a promise that every arrest is held there.
Ritchie Magistrate Clerk
109 North Street, Suite 102
Harrisville, WV 26362
Phone: 304-643-4409
For court-file copies or case clarification after an arrest.
The sheriff’s public county page carries an older name, while state election and sheriffs’ association records identify Bryan “B.D.” Davis. The phone number above is the shared contact point in the research, but office details should always be confirmed directly.
Choose the Right Official Route
Each channel answers a different question. A direct public office is more reliable than a copied entry or a news item when a record must be confirmed.
- Use the county lookup and records path for the WVDCR regional-jail search, court search, and specific record-request steps.
- Ask Harrisville or Pennsboro police first for an incident report tied to an arrest made by that department.
- For a current regional-jail profile, use WVDCR’s official search and verify the facility and identity.
- For a filed case and later disposition, use the West Virginia magistrate search or the clerk.
- For a person in state-prison custody, use WVDCR’s separate prison locator rather than a regional-jail result.
- For federal or immigration custody, begin with the appropriate BOP or ICE official locator.
