Middletown Busted Arrest Records
Sheriff Lenny Millholland heads the Frederick County Sheriff's Office. That is the right agency when a deputy, not Middletown Police, created the record.
Middletown is an incorporated Frederick County town with a 2020 Census population of 1,355. It runs its own police department. So a Middletown address alone does not hand the Sheriff's Office the file. Town police keep their own arrest reports, while FCSO holds reports for its own responses in or near town. Start with whoever wrote the record.
The town's official FAQ and police-contact information names the department and separates its local contact from County Dispatch. It offers no public arrest roster, daily log, inmate list, or booking-photo page. Say that plainly. A third-party listing cannot tell you who made the arrest, whether someone is still held, or how a case ended.
Where Middletown Busted Mugshots Appear
Official channels divide the work by custodian, which is why they come first. Town FOIA and Middletown Police handle town-held material. The Sheriff's P2C site matters only when FCSO responded. NRADC serves as the regional adult-booking and custody route, though its audited locator exposed no public search results. VINE offers notification options. Court and state sources cover later stages, and none of them add up to a single Middletown roster.
| Channel | Photo? | Proper label |
|---|---|---|
| Middletown Police | No public photo source verified | Town police contact for town-held records. |
| FCSO P2C | No verified photo field | FCSO arrest and incident activity, not a town police roster. |
| NRADC locator route | No public result field verified | Regional adult-custody route requiring direct confirmation where needed. |
| Virginia Jail VINE | No | Local and regional jail notification channel. |
| Virginia case information | No | Later case-status lead, not a custody or photo source. |
The county describes P2C as a daily bulletin with filters for incident date, location, and type. It promises no fixed recent-arrest window, no photo field, and no universal release time. Search the exact date when FCSO was the responding agency. A P2C hit proves nothing about town police or current regional custody.
Each channel also moves on its own clock. Town police can produce a specific record on request. P2C allows date-based searches for Sheriff activity. NRADC's locator has no public results schema. Court files arrive after the arrest. Note the source date and source type rather than assuming one update schedule. A missing entry can reflect an agency boundary, a citation or release, a transfer, or a protected record.
Busted in Middletown Lookup
A smart lookup begins with agency attribution. Then follow the record through the right custody and court channels. That habit prevents the common mistake of treating any Frederick County result as a Middletown Police record. For countywide details on the shared detention facility and Sheriff channels, see the Frederick County record lookup.
- Collect the person’s name, the approximate date, the town location, and any incident number.
- Determine whether Middletown Police, FCSO, or another agency responded.
- Contact Middletown Police for a town-held arrest report, or use P2C only for an FCSO response.
- For an adult booking or current local-regional custody question, contact NRADC directly or check VINE notification options.
- Use the Frederick/Winchester General District Court route for a later hearing or disposition.
"Arrested," "booked," "in custody," and "released" are four different statuses. A person can be arrested and cited on the spot. They might be booked and released, transferred, or held elsewhere. A county arrest entry does not confirm anyone is still at NRADC. A blank search result, in turn, proves nothing about what happened.
Note: Timing, jurisdiction, a release, protected records, and search limits can each explain a result that comes back empty.
Middletown Arrest Agency Handoff
Middletown Police comes first for a town case. It holds the town's own records. For non-emergencies, the Town routes callers to Frederick County Dispatch at (540) 662-6162; use 911 for emergencies. Dispatch help does not put every Middletown record under FCSO control. Check the officer or agency listed on any notice, report, or arrest record before you send a request.
FCSO handles its own incident and arrest records through FOIA. Its officer is Captain Aleck Beemen, FOIA Officer, at 1080 Coverstone Drive, Winchester, VA 22602. NRADC is a third custodian. It serves Frederick County plus other jurisdictions. A regional record needs the arresting agency and booking date to read correctly. Never assume a custody location from the town where the event took place.
Middletown's official contact page is the source shown below.

The town information separates local police contact from County Dispatch and offers no public booking roster.
Middletown Record Requests
Use the Middletown FOIA route for records the town holds. The Town Office sits at 7875 Church Street. The Police Department is at 7735 Main Street, Middletown, VA 22645, phone (540) 868-0535. A tight request names the person, the date range, the event location, any case or incident number, and the record you want. Ask that redactions be flagged and any withheld material carry a cited exemption.
When FCSO owns the report, use the Sheriff’s FOIA channel. When NRADC holds an adult booking record or routine initial-intake photograph, use the NRADC FOIA route, which directs requests through the County NextRequest portal. Ask for existing records, not an all-records dossier or newly created analysis. Juvenile records are protected and do not belong in a public-record request of this kind.
Virginia FOIA generally calls for a response within five working days, with defined release, withholding, no-record, and written impracticability options. A request may involve actual access, search, duplication, or supply costs. An estimate can be requested before work begins. A specific request is also more likely to reach the correct custodian quickly.
Virginia’s adult-record guidance does not make every image instantly available online. A routine adult initial-intake photograph may be requested as an existing record, while an investigation-related exception can apply when release would jeopardize a felony investigation. Requests should seek the minimum existing material needed to identify the event and should not seek private addresses, victim material, or juvenile information. If a record needs preserving, ask the known custodian to preserve the identified adult record pending the request; that request does not override lawful redaction, sealing, expungement, or juvenile protections.
Middletown Custody Status
NRADC is the regional adult detention facility serving Frederick County. Its site exposes no public search interface, results list, image field, archive, stated update schedule, or downloadable roster. For a current custody question, confirm directly with the facility rather than relying on an arrest log or a stale commercial page. The address is 141 Fort Collier Road, Winchester, VA 22603, and the phone number is (540) 535-3800.
Other tools cover different ground. VINE handles notifications for local and regional jail custody. The VADOC locator plays a narrower role, covering state custody and supervision, and it warns its information may be inaccurate or outdated. It is not a feed of new Middletown bookings. Federal custody brings yet another separate locator. Each system answers only its own custody question.
Release status deserves equal care. Someone can exit an NRADC custody channel through release or transfer while the arresting agency or regional facility keeps an existing record. State custody is not interchangeable with a local arrest record, even when VADOC lists a person held under its authority in a regional facility. Match the source to the specific custody question.
Middletown Busted News Records
Start with the court itself. The Frederick/Winchester General District Court schedule covers Middletown. It groups the town with Frederick County and Stephens City for non-felony arraignments. Those are early court proceedings. The statewide case-information service can offer a later lead, but the clerk remains the official source whenever a disposition needs verification.
Local media and commercial inventory pages come second. The Winchester Gazette publishes textual arrest roundups. The River 95.3 reports public-safety events. The Winchester Star points readers to WPD logs. Busted Newspaper, RecentlyBooked, and Mugshots.com are unofficial secondary sources. RecentlyBooked's facility language conflicts with NRADC's documented regional structure, and Mugshots.com skews historical. More context appears in Mugshots in the News.
Note: Treat a news item or third-party listing as a lead to verify, not proof of current custody or a final charge.
