Marshall County, Oklahoma, has about 16,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office and two 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 District Attorney files charges, a case in the Marshall County District 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 Marshall County
The Marshall County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Marshall County. It reported 153 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside two 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:
- Madill, 4,084 residents: 170 arrests reported for 2025.
- Kingston, 1,477 residents: 46 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.
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.
- Madill: 170 for 2025, 136 for 2024, 177 for 2023, 191 for 2022, 190 for 2021 and 147 for 2020.

Together, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 369 arrests that year. The same agencies with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 369 in 2025 against 307 in 2024, up 20 percent.
Through July 2026, the three agencies with every month so far on file reported 238 arrests, against 208 in the same months of 2025.
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 18 people, down from about 65 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 110 beds, and it ran at 59 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Marshall County
For Marshall County the place to look is the case index of the Marshall County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at marshall.okcounties.org/offices/court-clerk, phone 580.795.3278).
Statewide, OSCN and ODCR is the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court.
Oklahoma is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: anyone can order a name-based criminal history search online, for $15 a search, through the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. 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 Oklahoma Open Records Act the agency must answer promptly; the statute sets no number of days, and it may charge copying at no more than 25 cents a page.
- An arrest by the Marshall County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
