Arrested in Woodville? All Leon County bookings process through the Leon County Detention Center. We connect you with licensed local bondsmen.
Woodville is an unincorporated community in southern Leon County. There is no city police; the Leon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) provides law enforcement. All arrests transport to the Leon County Detention Center in Tallahassee, about 25 minutes northwest.
The Woodville Highway (State Road 363) is the primary north-south artery connecting Tallahassee to Wakulla County and the coast. LCSO relies heavily on aggressive traffic enforcement along this two-lane corridor, specifically targeting speeding commuters and commercial vehicles traveling between the state capital and the Gulf.
The massive Apalachicola National Forest forms the western boundary of the community. LCSO frequently coordinates with the US Forest Service and FWC regarding issues spilling over from the deep woods, such as illegal hunting, off-roading, and responding to lost hikers or medical emergencies on the extensive trail networks.
Historically a deeply rural, working-class timber and agricultural town, Woodville is increasingly becoming a bedroom community for Tallahassee. LCSO deputies must balance traditional rural policing (managing loose livestock and illegal dumping) with the rising demands of suburban property protection and domestic dispute response in the newer subdivisions.
The Leon County Clerk at (850) 606-4000 handles case lookups. The 2nd Circuit courthouse is in downtown Tallahassee. Because of its geographic location, an arrest in Woodville temporarily removes an LCSO deputy from the southern sector for a significant period during the transport process.
The area is famous for its massive underground aquifer system, sinkholes, and springs (like Wakulla Springs just to the south). LCSO deputies must be familiar with the remote access roads leading to these natural features, frequently assisting with searches for missing divers or responding to environmental hazards on the rural periphery.
Surety bonds (10% non-refundable premium) and cash bonds are accepted. Bonding agents must be registered with the Leon County Clerk of Court. Call (941) 477-6888 to reach a registered Leon County bondsman who can post at the facility.
All arrests in these cities are processed through the county jail. The booking and bail process described above applies to every one of them.
