Grant County Arrest Records and Booking Process

Arrests in Grant County are carried out by the Grant County Sheriff's Office, the Marion Police Department (city of Marion, which is the county seat), and state police assigned to the area. Do not confuse the city of Marion in Grant County with Marion County, which is a separate county in central Indiana that contains Indianapolis. Grant County's Marion is a distinct city in north-central Indiana.

After an arrest, the person is taken to the Grant County Jail at 214 East 4th Street in Marion for booking. Staff record identifying information, list the charges, take photos, and collect fingerprints. The completed booking record becomes a public document under Indiana law. It is logged into the jail management system and made available online within a short time after processing is complete.

Bond may be set at booking using a preset schedule for some charges. For more serious offenses, a judge sets bond at an initial hearing. The jail can confirm current bond amounts by phone at 765-662-9836.
