Marshall County, Indiana, has about 46,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office and four city agencies. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Marshall Circuit and Superior Courts. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Marshall County
The Marshall County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Marshall County. It reported 236 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside four of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Plymouth, 11,042 residents: 365 arrests reported for 2025.
- Bremen, 4,603 residents.
- Argos, 1,750 residents: 63 arrests reported for 2025.
- Culver, 1,220 residents.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Marshall County
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Plymouth: 365 for 2025 and 722 for 2019; 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are missing months.
- Marshall County Sheriff's Office: 236 for 2025.
- Argos: 63 for 2025 and 28 for 2024.
Together, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 664 arrests that year. The one of them with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 63 in 2025 against 28 in 2024.
Bremen and Culver reported only part of 2025 (8 months and 10 months) and are left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Marshall County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Marshall County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2024 the jail held about 130 people, down from about 240 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023, the last year with a capacity figure, was 233 beds, and it ran at 64 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Marshall County Sheriff's Office at sheriffmarshallcounty.org/current-inmate-roster (page title: Private Site), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 9, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Indiana Department of Correction lists its inmates at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov/idoc-ofs-1.0.2/ofs.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Marshall County
Whether someone was arrested in Marshall County, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Marshall County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Marshall Circuit and Superior Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at co.marshall.in.us/department/index.php?structureid=17); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.marshall.in.us/department/index.php?structureid=22, phone (574) 935-8666).
Statewide, mycase.IN.gov is the Indiana courts' free statewide case search.
Indiana is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Limited Criminal History search is open to anyone online, through the Indiana State Police. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Marshall County
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act the agency must answer within 24 hours for a request made in person and 7 days for one sent by mail or email, and it may charge a copy fee set by the agency, within statutory limits.
- An arrest by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Plymouth, Bremen, Argos or Culver: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city; the city guides linked above name each city's records office.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, (574) 935-8666, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Marshall Circuit and Superior Courts, through the court records page at co.marshall.in.us.
- Your own statewide record: the same request described above, for your own name.
