Arrests in Westchase

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office patrols Westchase through District III, which covers northwest Hillsborough County, including Carrollwood, Town ‘n’ Country, Odessa and Keystone. The District III office is at 7202 Gunn Highway in Tampa. People arrested in Hillsborough County are usually booked at the Orient Road Jail, HCSO’s primary booking facility.

What Happens After an Arrest

A person who stays in custody generally goes before a judge for a first appearance within 24 hours of arrest, where release conditions such as bond are set. Prosecutors with the 13th Circuit State Attorney’s Office decide what charges to file, but their choices are limited by the evidence, the law and the judges who hear each case. Every case is different.
