But the case records link back to the arrest that created the booking report in the first place.
VINELink is another free option. It tracks custody status for people held in Montgomery County facilities. If someone from Wheaton is booked and held, VINELink will show their status. You can also sign up for alerts. The system sends an email, text, or phone call when a person's custody status changes. This is useful if you want to know when someone booked in Wheaton gets released or transferred.
The DPSCS Incarcerated Individual Locator covers state prison inmates. It may not show everyone held at the county level, but it is worth checking if you think the person from Wheaton has been sentenced to state time. The tool is free and lets you search by name or State Identification Number.
