How Long Do Arrests Stay on Your Record?

Marshall County Arrest Records stay in the state's database indefinitely, except when an eligible person submits an expungement request to the relevant court to release them. However, the arrest record may become permanent if the individual has been found guilty of the offense.

Expunge Marshall County Arrest Records

Expungement is a legal process that removes certain convictions and arrest records from public access. In some cases, this may include physically destroying the records. To request expungement, an individual must apply to the court where the case was originally heard. Note that only a limited number of cases are eligible for expungement in Marshall County. Applicants generally must meet one of the following criteria:

  • The individual was charged but found not guilty.
  • The individual was arrested but had the charges dismissed.
  • The individual was remanded but later released without being charged.
  • A grand jury returned a “no true bill” verdict.
  • A “nolle prosequi” was issued.
  • A “nolle prosequi” (or “nolle pros”) is a formal declaration that the prosecution has been abandoned, and a “no true bill” means the grand jury found insufficient probable cause to pursue the case.

The expungement process typically proceeds

Obtain a copy of the record from the court clerk.

File an expungement petition with the court where the case was heard. If multiple charges are involved, a separate petition is required for each charge, along with a list of eligible charges.

Submit all supporting documents (including a self-addressed, stamped envelope for each charge filed) along with the petition. If the court approves the expungement, the clerk returns the paperwork, including a certified copy of the expungement order.

Court notification: The court sends the expungement order to the judge and any relevant agencies in charge of recording expungements.

If a record shows “dismissed with fees,” it can be expunged once all outstanding court costs are paid (fee waivers may be possible in some cases). If charges are listed as “retired,” it means the case has been left open for an extended period. In such instances, the petitioner must request that the court change the status to “dismissed” before expungement can proceed.

Marshall County Arrest Warrants

An arrest warrant in Marshall County is a court order allowing law enforcement to apprehend a suspect. A judge typically issues a warrant after being presented with sufficient evidence of probable cause. Warrants are often required for arrests not observed by officers or those requiring entry into private property. Each warrant includes:

  • The judge’s signature
  • The suspect’s name
  • The alleged offense
  • Supporting documentation

Arrest warrants help protect individual rights by ensuring that arrests follow legal protocols.

Do Marshall County Arrest Warrants Expire?

In Marshall County, arrest warrants generally do not expire. Once signed by a judge, an arrest warrant remains valid until the named individual is apprehended or the court revokes or dismisses the warrant. Factors such as the nature of the alleged crime, ongoing investigations, or changes in law can affect how warrants are executed. Occasionally, a warrant may be revoked or dismissed due to administrative errors, jurisdictional changes, or successful legal challenges.
