The Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification also holds statewide arrest data that may include Sevier County cases. You can check their site for broader searches beyond what the local office provides.

Clearing Busted Mugshots in Sevier County
Utah law allows some arrest records to be expunged. This means the record is sealed and no longer shows up in public searches. Not all cases qualify. The type of charge, the outcome of the case, and how much time has passed all matter. If you want to clear a Sevier County mugshot or arrest record, you need to go through the court.
The first step is to get your criminal history from the BCI. Then you file a petition with the court that handled your case. The Utah expungement process has strict rules and timelines. A lawyer can help you figure out if your Sevier County case is eligible.
Once a record is expunged, the mugshot and booking data are removed from public view. The Sevier County Sheriff's Office and state databases will no longer show the arrest. Third-party websites may still have old data, but those sites are not run by the county.
