Marshall County Recent Arrests Quick Facts
Marshall County Sheriff's Office and Jail
The Marshall County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail at 1400 N Pioneer Dr, Plymouth, IN 46563. The main office phone is 574-936-4000. Plymouth is the county seat and the largest community in Marshall County, though its population falls below the threshold for a dedicated city arrests page on this site. The sheriff's office handles law enforcement for the unincorporated areas of the county and books all county-wide arrests into the Plymouth jail.
When someone is arrested in Marshall County, whether by a county deputy, city police officer, or state trooper, they are typically transported to the Marshall County Jail for booking. The booking process creates a record with the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond status, and other identifying information. Photographs and fingerprints are taken as required by IC 36-2-13-5, which mandates that the sheriff obtain this identifying data from all persons taken into custody. This information is shared with state and federal law enforcement databases.
Indiana's public access law under IC 5-14-3-5 requires that Marshall County disclose the arrested person's name, age, and address, the charges, the date and time of arrest, the arrest location, the arresting officer's name, and the investigating agency. These records are public. Anyone can request them or access them through the sheriff's online systems. The basic booking record is not something the county can legally withhold in most circumstances.
For direct inquiries about current inmates or recent bookings, call 574-936-4000 during business hours. Jail staff can confirm whether a specific person is in custody and provide basic booking details by phone.
Note: Marshall County is a smaller county, and the sheriff's office covers a wide rural area in addition to the Plymouth city vicinity. Some arrests in remote parts of the county may take longer to appear in online systems after booking.Marshall County Court Records via MyCase
Indiana's statewide MyCase portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase/ covers Marshall County Circuit Court and Marshall County Superior Court. This free tool lets you search by defendant name or case number to find criminal, civil, and family court records. No registration or account is needed to access public case information.
The screenshot below shows the Indiana MyCase court records portal, which covers Marshall County criminal cases and allows tracking of any case from first charge through final disposition including sentencing or dismissal.

You can then see the case number, charges, assigned judge, all scheduled hearings, continuances, plea entries, and the ultimate resolution. MyCase goes back several years so historical cases are typically accessible in addition to recent ones.
Indiana law under IC 5-14-3-3 gives anyone the right to inspect public court records. IC 5-14-3-4 sets out what agencies may withhold, which includes ongoing investigative records, sealed cases, and personal identifiers. The Indiana Courts' public records page at in.gov/courts/public-records/ explains your access rights in more detail. For certified copies or records not in MyCase, contact the Marshall County Circuit Clerk at the courthouse in Plymouth.
Note: Marshall County courts also handle small claims cases, which can relate to situations that grew from an arrest, such as property damage disputes or victim restitution proceedings.Accident Reports and BuyCrash
