What Grant County Booking Reports Include

A booking report from Grant County captures the facts of an arrest and jail intake. It is a record of one event. The person's name, date of birth, and physical description are part of the report. So are the charges filed at the time of arrest.

Grant County booking reports also list the arresting agency. This could be the Sheriff's Office, the Oregon State Police, or another agency working in the area. The report shows the date and time of booking and any bail or bond amount set by the court. These details help identify the right record when you are searching.

Keep in mind that a booking report is not a finding of guilt. It records an arrest. The court process determines whether the person is convicted. For the outcome of a case that started with a Grant County booking report, check the court records through the Oregon eCourt system.
