The portal updates in real time as new bookings come in. Arresting agencies listed include the Giles County Sheriff's Office and Pulaski Police Department. You can also see release dates when they have been set. Charges run the full range, from domestic assault and DUI to manufacture or sale of methamphetamines and arson.
