What Pipestone County Booking Records Include
Each entry on the Pipestone County custody list shows the full name of the person in custody, the booking date and time, and the charges or hold reasons. You will also see the arresting agency and any relevant case numbers. This is enough detail to identify a specific booking and tie it to court records if you need more information about the case.
Under Minnesota Statute 13.82, law enforcement agencies must make arrest and booking data available to the public. The name, booking date, charges, and arresting agency are all classified as public data that cannot be withheld. Pipestone County's online custody list is the primary way the county fulfills this legal obligation.
Minnesota Statute 641.05 requires the sheriff to maintain a record of every person committed to the jail, including the time and cause of commitment and the release date. This statute is the legal basis for the custody list you see online. Minnesota Statute 13.85 further defines what correctional facility data stays public and what can be restricted.
For statewide conviction records, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension charges $8 for a criminal history search. That database is separate from the current custody list and covers convictions across all Minnesota counties.
