Which Agency Holds a Report from Marshall
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.

The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Marshall in Lyon County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
