Midway, Utah, in Wasatch County, has about 6,100 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the County Attorney files charges, a case in the District Court for Wasatch County. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it.
This guide covers who makes arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Midway
The FBI lists no arrest reporting agency under the name of Midway. In Wasatch County the county agency that reports arrests is the Wasatch County Sheriff's Office.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Midway Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Midway 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 2019 the jail held about 82 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 88 beds, and it ran at 93 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 Midway
Whether someone was arrested in Midway, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the District Court for Wasatch County, kept by the clerk of 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 wasatchcounty.gov/172/Attorneys-Office, phone 435-654-4676).
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county, at wasatchcounty.gov/justicecourt (page title: Justice Court | Wasatch County, UT), phone 435-654-2679, belongs to a lower court, not to the District Court for Wasatch County.

Utah does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.

Under the Government Records Access and Management Act the agency must answer within 10 business days, or 5 when the request is expedited, and it may charge copying and staff time after the first quarter hour.
