Kimberly Busted Mugshots: City Arrests, County Bookings
Kimberly is a small town. The 2020 Census put its population at 4,626. The Kimberly-Hansen Police Department watches over both Kimberly and neighboring Hansen. Chief Sjuni Bunderson leads a force of eight sworn officers, according to the department's official page. That page offers no name-level arrest log or booking-photo section. So a city police arrest and a county detention booking live as two separate records, kept by two separate offices.
Once an arrestee lands at the James R. Munn Adult Detention Facility, the Sheriff's Daily Reports index becomes the shared county path. Its Arrest/Release sheet covers bookings by every county agency, sentenced jail time, and booking-and-release events alike. It touches Kimberly cases. Still, it is not a Kimberly-only log.
A note on reading these records. A booking photo or charge list reflects a custody event on a given day; case details and outcomes live in the court file, where later changes are recorded.
Where Kimberly Busted Mugshots Are Reported
Think of the official path as a chain of custodians. The county reports log dated booking and custody events. Kimberly-Hansen Police holds the city material. iCourt carries the later case trail. One practical limit stands out: the county reports are plain text tables with no photo column, and the city has no current photo roster either. News outlets and the historical aggregator come last, after these sources.
| Channel | Photo status | Coverage and access |
|---|---|---|
| Twin Falls County Sheriff Daily Reports | No photo in reviewed formats | Official Arrest/Release, Headcount, Arraignments, and Warrant reports. They are dated, weekday-based, and have different custody meanings. |
| Kimberly-Hansen Police Department | No current public photo roster | Official city information and records route for Kimberly or Hansen incidents, not a live booking feed. |
| Kimberly public-record request form | Request-specific | Written request form for a police-held record; the chief decides release with the city attorney and records clerk. |
| Idaho iCourt Odyssey | No booking-photo function | Public case search for later events and disposition, not current custody or the jail photo. |
| KMVT, KIVI, NewsRadio 1310, and Times-News | Selected story images | Regional news may cover a selected Kimberly incident. Stories are not a complete arrest list; photos may be agency-supplied, scene-based, or absent. |
| Mugshots.com Twin Falls County | Historical unofficial pages | Historical county page with a Kimberly link and filters through 2019, not current custody. No verified local section was found for Busted Newspaper, Recently Booked, Arrests.org, or Mugshots.zone. |
Twin Falls County Sheriff offers no booking app. What does exist is Idaho VINE, a statewide notification service tied to county jails, IDOC, and Odyssey. Register, and it will alert you to custody and court-status changes. It is not a photo roster, though. It cannot stand in for the Sheriff's PDF reports.
Busted in Kimberly: Start With the Dated PDF
Start with the Twin Falls County records guide for the county map. Then work the Kimberly sequence whenever an arrest, booking, release, and court case are scattered across different systems.
- Record the basics. Note the name, suspected date, and whether Kimberly-Hansen Police made the arrest. It may not appear in the county report if the person was not booked there or was handled elsewhere.
- Open the Sheriff index. Select the dated Arrest/Release report, the county’s shared booking path. It is a dated report, not a live city feed.
- Read the fields. The format includes jacket number, name, date of birth, booking and release dates, hold reasons, and release reason. Release describes a facility event, not a court outcome.
- Check Headcount. Headcount / Temporarily out of Custody is a report-date snapshot, not a booking archive or photo source.
- Use the police request route. Request a city record through the written form; use the Sheriff’s civil-records route separately for the county booking file or photo.
- Check iCourt. Search by case number or name and county filters. An arraignment is early; later filings may be restricted or sealed.
- Use the proper custody system. IDOC covers state custody, probation, or parole; BOP federal custody; and ICE immigration custody. VINE provides notifications, not images.
Say only what the document shows. If a name is absent from a PDF, it was not located in that dated file. The person may be listed later, elsewhere, or under a correction. The record may also be withheld. Or the event may never have reached county detention at all.
Kimberly-Hansen Police Records Requests
Kimberly-Hansen Police is the first stop for a city report. The Sheriff handles the county booking record or photograph. Kimberly posts no name-level arrest or photo page. So split your effort. Describe the police event in the city request, and the detention booking in the county request.

- Download the Kimberly request form and identify the record, dates, name, and event.
- The form says the chief decides after consulting the city attorney and records clerk; locating records may take more than three days, with a response expected within ten working days.
- Business-day availability is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Clerical charges can apply after two hours or 100 pages; no separate photo fee is listed.
- Send a separate Sheriff request for the jail record or photo, using a narrow date range and asking for any estimate, redaction explanation, or exemption.
The city form explains its process in more detail than any live feed would, but it never promises a public photo or a release. What comes back depends on which office answers. The city record can carry the arresting agency's account, while the county record can show booking, release, or hold details. Ask each agency for exactly what it maintains.
Kimberly Crime News and Secondary Coverage
Kimberly arrests rarely get a crime page of their own. Coverage flows through the wider Magic Valley news stream. Mugshots in the News lays out that landscape. KMVT, KIVI, NewsRadio 1310, and the Times-News each report selected arrests, searches, and court developments from around the valley.
A news story is not the county roster. Some pieces run an agency photo. Others use a scene shot or nothing at all. Custody status can shift after a story runs, too. Note the publication date first. Then confirm what you need against the Sheriff's PDF, a records response, or iCourt.
Aggregator options stay thin. Mugshots.com holds the only confirmed major aggregator page for the area. Its Kimberly link and filters stop around 2019, though, and carry no official standing. Busted Newspaper, Recently Booked, Arrests.org, and Mugshots.zone turn up no verified local section. And a booking in another Idaho county proves nothing about Kimberly.
When Kimberly Bookings Reach County Reports
Kimberly arrests that reach the county facility follow the Sheriff's weekday cadence, posted Monday through Friday with holidays excluded. The daily Arrest/Release format breaks events into dated time bands, including an overnight band. What the county does not publish is an exact lag between intake and posting. Each report is an operational snapshot, not a live Kimberly photo feed.
Always check the report date first. Activity from a weekend or holiday may appear days later. A missing name could mean a citation, a different booking location, a delayed posting, a correction, or a restricted record. The county guarantees no fixed window for how long these reports stay online.
Kimberly Busted Mugshots: A Published Request Workflow
Kimberly does not publish a daily arrest feed. Instead, the city offers a formal written-request process for police records. The form tells you who handles each request, how long a response should take, when the office is open, and when copying fees kick in. That makes it a useful channel for pulling a specific arrest report or booking photo, even though no live roster exists.
One form will not cover every angle. Police hold the incident report. The Sheriff holds the county booking side. The Daily Reports page may list an Arrest/Release line, though it may not show every field or a photo. So narrow your ask. Name the record type, the dates, the agency, and an identifier. Was it the police report, the jail booking file, or a photo you wanted? If anything comes back redacted or withheld, ask why and keep the written response. A precise request is far easier to act on than a broad image sweep.
Expect a reply, not a guarantee. Records review can end several ways: full release, partial release with redactions, a denial, or a request for clarification. Exemptions apply to some material, so a photo is never automatic.
After a Kimberly Booking: Court, Holds, and Custody States
After a Kimberly booking, the paper trail splits. One system handles court dates. Another tracks custody. The county Arraignments report lists the current day's schedule, but it shifts with court changes and settles nothing. For an ongoing case, the Idaho iCourt Odyssey portal works better. Jot down the case number and date. Results can be sealed or restricted, and a shared name alone proves nothing about identity.
Custody systems need the same care. Someone can appear on a dated Arrest/Release report and later show as released. A Headcount entry for a report date does not confirm the final charge. A hold field may point to another authority, sometimes an immigration-related one, yet it still will not tell you who holds the person right now. State sentences land in the IDOC locator. BOP and ICE cover federal and immigration custody. When a hold names ICE or Border Patrol, check the county row, the right locator, and the court record separately rather than assuming a transfer occurred. No fixed online retention period was published for a Kimberly booking, so save the report date and source yourself.
The cleanest trail is short. Start with city police for the arrest report. Add Sheriff Daily Reports for the booking or release snapshot. Send a written request for any missing record or photo. Then use iCourt for the court path. If a search comes up empty, note which channel you checked and when. An absence is just an absence. It is not a conclusion.
