ASHLAND, OHIO – The Ashland County Sheriff’s Office is facing a data loss crisis within their public database, which is shared across multiple law enforcement levels. Due to improper training and inadequate data entry protocols, the mugshot and inmate database frequently fails to register critical information (such as incarceration dates and retaining that of those recently booked into the jail) during the booking process. This issue is often exacerbated by a lack of diligence by staff processing inmates at the Ashland County Jail, stemming entirely from the individuals that oversee the facility.

Hundreds (documented thus far), if not perhaps thousands, of cases demonstrate a critical failure: archaic and vulnerable software as well as an undertrained staff that are overwriting inmate booking records during the booking process – resulting in catastrophic and critical data loss. The result is mugshots and charges entirely erased – as if they never existed in the first place, creating a dangerous scenario where individuals currently in custody appear as they are not or have not been incarcerated.

The situation is monitored continuously through automated, 30-minute interval scraping of the Ashland Sheriff’s Office database(s) courtesy of Scumbagged.com‘s offshore servers. These data points are essential for comprehensive documentation and serve as a primary information source for investigative personnel as well as court records.  Scumbagged utilizes this information (as well as other access points, including that of ports, dedicated IP blocks and internal communications) in order to maintain it’s extensive, current and up to date records of individuals recently booked into the Ashland County Jail, for info pertinent to case matter’s transpiring at the municipal and common pleas levels as well as that of the staff, and the corrupt system as a whole.

The Ashland County Sheriff’s Office has now lost and or failed to document upwards of 650 inmate records within the past several years due to those that were either accidentally erased from their database (in one way or another) or done so at the hands of untrained staff.  This data loss creates confusion for arresting agencies and local municipalities regarding the incarceration status of these individuals, potentially posing a safety risk to the community and the integrity of the justice system.

Within the past 24 hours alone, data loss at the Ashland County Jail has compromised records for the following inmates: Dennis Keys & Djuan Tillie. Despite being booked on 1/31/2026, both individuals are missing from the Sheriff’s office database. This failure highlights critical, ongoing issues with the software and a fundamental inability to accurately track inmate’s and their records.

READERS NOTE: Confidential data, including Social Security numbers and private contact information for victims, are being publicly exposed on both Ashland Common Pleas and Municipal Court dockets. In an upcoming February report – which will be highly detailed, with before and after imagery to show what their internal departments failure to allocate the extent of their ineptitude (after they read this portion of the story) in comparison to what we have documented, our investigation will reveal the courts’ continuous failure to protect sensitive records and that of alleged victims, highlighting a recurring pattern of negligence reminiscent of the 2018 Elyria Municipal Court data breaches.
