Logan County, Kentucky, has about 28,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Logan County Sheriff's Office, four city agencies and one other agency. 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 Commonwealth's Attorney files charges, a case in the Logan Circuit Court. 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 Logan County
The Logan County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Logan County. It reported 874 arrests for 2025.
The FBI lists four cities in Logan County with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:
- Russellville, 7,431 residents: 278 arrests reported for 2025.

- Adairville, 881 residents: 98 arrests reported for 2025.
- Lewisburg, 776 residents: 1 arrests reported for 2025.
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.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Logan County: South Central Kentucky Drug Task Force (other).

Booking: Where People Arrested in Logan County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Logan 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.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 170 people on an average day, down from about 190 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 162 beds, and it is running at 105 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Logan County
For Logan County the place to look is the case index of the Logan Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at kycourts.gov/Courts/County-Information/Pages/Logan.aspx, phone 270-726-2424).
Kentucky is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Administrative Office of the Courts, not the state police, sells name-based criminal record reports to the public, for $25 a search, through the Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts. 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 Logan County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Kentucky Open Records Act the agency must answer within 5 business days, and it may charge the actual cost of copying, 10 cents a page for standard copies.
- An arrest by the Logan County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at 270-726-3696.
- An arrest in Russellville, Auburn, Adairville or Lewisburg: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- An arrest by South Central Kentucky Drug Task Force: the records office of the agency involved.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Logan Circuit Court, through the court records page at kycourts.gov, phone 270-726-2424.
