How Grant County Arrest Records Work
When someone is arrested in Grant County, the booking takes place at the county jail. The jail creates a record that includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, booking time, and bond amount. This data goes into the jail roster that is posted online. If charges are filed, the case moves to the Grant County court system. Court records then track everything from the arraignment through the final disposition. Both the jail record and the court record are public under Indiana law unless a judge orders them sealed.
The process from arrest to court follows a set path in Grant County. The person is booked, a bond is set, and the case goes to a judge. First appearances happen quickly. If the person cannot make bond, they stay in the jail until their court date. You can track the case through MyCase once it is filed. The arrest record stays with the sheriff's office. The court record stays with the clerk. Both are separate systems, but together they tell the full story of what happened after the arrest.
