How to Find Out About an Arrest in Logan County
An arrest in Logan County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Logan County District Court, kept by the Clerk of the District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date; the County Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at logancounty.ne.gov/attorney-county, phone 308-532-8272).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at nebraskajudicial.gov/courts/logan-county-court (page title: Logan County Court | Nebraska Judicial Branch), phone 308-636-2677, belongs to a lower court, not to the Logan County District Court.
