Grant County Criminal Docket Searches
Indiana MyCase carries the main public index for Grant County criminal court dockets. It holds Odyssey case summaries rather than the clerk's certified record. Plug in an exact case or citation number first. Searching by person or attorney also works. But a broad query can bump against the portal's 1,000-result ceiling. Expect a captcha after repeated searches.
Pick the right court before you search. County cases sit under Circuit or Superior Courts; Gas City and Marion are separate selections. If a citation points to a city court, search there too. Doxpop runs a second index with extra filters. Its enhanced tools may cost money, and the vendor warns its data is incomplete. When a filing seems absent, call or visit the clerk. Do not read a blank result as proof no case exists.
- Choose Case, Name, or Attorney in MyCase.
- Enter one identifier, or use the required name fields.
- Select Grant County and Criminal & Citation.
- Repeat with Gas City or Marion when relevant.
- Verify court code, dates, type, status, and CCS events.
- Ask the Clerk for a missing or certified document.
Mail and email requests work only if the clerk first confirms the format, payment, postage, and delivery method. The county publishes no general criminal record request form and promises no response time.
Grant Criminal Court Codes
The first five characters tell a Grant County criminal docket where it lives. 27C01 means Circuit Court. Superior Courts 1 through 3 answer to 27D01, 27D02, and 27D03. Gas City uses 27H01; Marion uses 27H02. Spot an old 27E01 result? That is likely a converted record from the abolished county court, not a new charge.
- F1 through F6
- Indiana felony-level case codes.
- CM
- A criminal misdemeanor case.
- IF or OV
- An infraction or ordinance matter.
- PC
- A post-conviction proceeding.
- XP
- An expungement case with distinct access limits.
Number searches forgive hyphens and leading zeroes. Case-number history stays searchable, so a transfer can surface a new current number. Before relying on a hit, match the court, the date, and the case type.
Criminal Dockets: What They Show
A Grant County criminal court docket shows up as a case summary plus a Chronological Case Summary, called the CCS. The CCS lists events by date. It can prove an order or hearing was entered. It cannot replace the order itself. Document links appear only where remote access is allowed and the item is actually available.
| Court and number | Identifies Circuit, Superior, Gas City, or Marion and the filing sequence. |
|---|---|
| Type and filed date | Shows the procedural category and when the case opened. |
| Status and roles | Lists system labels, neither of which proves the outcome. |
| CCS events | Records public filings, motions, settings, orders, pleas, dispositions, and sentences. |
| Judge and setting | Connects an event with the court and judicial officer. |
| Documents and finances | May provide links or a balance notice; balances can lag. |
A disposition tells you a resolution was recorded, nothing more. For the actual terms, read the order or ask for an official copy. And treat "Closed" as a status label, not a full account of every charge.
Grant Criminal Docket Lanes
Local rules explain the trap. A single county search can miss the right Grant County criminal court docket. Superior 3 takes Level 6 felony and operating-while-intoxicated cases. Juvenile cases go to Superior 2, except waivers. Circuit gets juvenile waivers, Drug Court, Veterans Treatment Court, and grand-jury matters. Reentry lands in Superior 1. Level 5 and higher felonies are randomized among the four county courts. City-court trials de novo join them.
The official Grant Circuit Court page walks through county search instructions. It also warns that the city courts sit outside it.
That official page repeats the key rule: county and city dockets are not one court filter. Use the prefix or the named court.
Criminal Case Stages on the Docket
Read Grant County criminal docket events by date. The filing opens the record. An initial hearing or arraignment is just an early appearance, never a finding. Pretrial conferences and motion hearings mark preparation. A label like change-of-plea, jury trial, or fact-finding names a setting; the later CCS entry or order reveals what actually happened.
Docket flow: Filing → Arraignment → Pretrial → Plea or Trial → Disposition → Sentencing
A continuance or reset only moves a setting. It does not dismiss anything. Trial Court Calendars can help with near-term dates, though the Grant list leaves out Superior 1 and both city courts. When a date looks uncertain, confirm by phone. The Grant court directory publishes the division lines.
Note: a calendar entry is a setting notice, while the CCS remains the broader public event history.
Grant Superior One Records
Superior Court 1 belongs to the shared felony assignment system and serves as the local-rule home for Reentry. Its office number is (765) 664-9532. The official Superior Court 1 page lists local contacts and search details.
That court page earns a bookmark when a criminal docket carries 27D01. A county label alone may not tell a caller which staff member holds the setting details.
Routing point: Local rules route Reentry to Superior 1, but the program page said “Coming Soon.” Assignment does not prove operation.
Grant County Criminal Docket Courts
Four county courts and two city courts can each hold a Grant County criminal docket. Call Circuit at (765) 664-5527. Superior 1, 2, and 3 answer at (765) 664-9532, (765) 662-1719, and (765) 668-8123. The Grant County Clerk is (765) 668-8121. Its first-floor counter keeps weekday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. It closes noon to 1:00 p.m.
| Court | Local focus | Search clue |
|---|---|---|
| Circuit, 27C01 | Waivers, specialty courts, shared felonies | Search Grant County |
| Superior 1, 27D01 | Reentry and shared felonies | Match D01 |
| Superior 2, 27D02 | Juvenile and shared felonies | Expect limits |
| Superior 3, 27D03 | Level 6 and OWI | Match D03 |
| Gas City, 27H01 | Local misdemeanor, infraction, ordinance | Select separately |
| Marion, 27H02 | City misdemeanor, infraction, ordinance | Select separately |
For county records in person, go to 101 E. 4th Street in Marion. City counters and payment rules run separately. Bring the case number, court code, approximate year, and the precise record type.
Grant City Criminal Dockets
Gas City and Marion both sit on the statewide Odyssey system, yet each still runs its own city court in Grant County. The street address alone will not settle a docket search. What fixes it is the court named on the citation. Gas City Court sits at 211 E. Main Street, reachable at (765) 677-3081, while Marion City Court is at 301 S. Branson Street, (765) 668-4425.
Jonesboro appears in neither the court directory nor the Odyssey list under its own identifier. That is not proof no court record exists. Search Grant County broadly, then follow whichever court the citation itself names. When the court is unclear, call the Clerk. A Jonesboro matter should never be folded into H01 or H02 without a firm court identifier.
Access Rules for Criminal Dockets
Indiana treats court records as public by default. Yet a Grant County criminal docket may still show gaps online. Juvenile cases, mental-health records, treatment courts, and problem-solving dockets often stay out of view. The same goes for investigative files plus anything sealed or expunged. Even an open case can hold one document the clerk releases only in person. A link that leads nowhere usually means remote access is limited, the file is excluded, or paper has not been converted yet. Indiana Access Rule 5 spells out each restricted category. Check it before assuming a record is secret.
Access limits are not the same as a missing docket. Grant County staff can point you to the right route for a criminal docket, but they will not interpret what an entry means.
Key rules:
Indiana Code § 5-14-3-3 permits inspection and copying during regular hours, subject to exceptions.
Access Rule 4 presumes access unless Rule 5 excludes material.
Access Rule 9 governs requests for excluded records.

Or visit the first floor at 101 E. 4th Street, Marion, Indiana 46952. A fax number, (765) 668-6541, appears in published listings. That alone does not mean the clerk accepts record requests by fax.

Weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; closed noon to 1:00 p.m.
When you contact the clerk, ask for the CCS, a filed order, the public file, or a certified instrument. Have the court code, case number, and event date ready. Say how you want the copies delivered, and sort out format, payment, postage, and turnaround before the staff starts pulling the file. Photocopies run $1.00 per page. A certified copy costs $1.10 per page. The fee schedule lists no separate criminal docket search charge.
