What Booking Records Contain

A booking record is created each time the Marshall County Sheriff's Office takes someone into custody. Minnesota Statute 13.82 says certain parts of that record must be public. The law requires that the name of the person arrested, the date and time of arrest, the charges, and the arresting agency all be available to the public.

Some data stays private. Medical information, home addresses, and details tied to active investigations are not released. The sheriff's office makes these determinations based on state law. If you have a question about what is available for a specific record, call the office at (218) 745-5411.

Standard public data in a Marshall County booking release:

• Full name of person booked
• Date and time of booking
• Charges or reason for hold
• Arresting agency
• Bond or bail status
• Case reference number
