What Happens After a Zionsville Arrest

A Zionsville Police officer who makes an arrest transports the person to the Boone County Jail in Lebanon. At the jail, intake staff take over. They document the person's identifying information, photograph them, take fingerprints, record the charges, and enter everything into the jail's tracking system. That process creates the formal booking record that is available to the public.

Indiana requires that anyone held in custody be brought before a judicial officer within 72 hours of arrest. That first hearing is where a judge reviews the charges and sets bail. The period from arrest to that hearing is what people typically call the 72 hour hold. During that window, the person is held at the Boone County Jail, and the booking record is public. After the hearing, a judge may release the person on bail, hold them pending trial, or in some cases dismiss the matter entirely at that early stage.

Under Indiana Code 36-2-13-5, the county sheriff is the official custodian of the jail and all records tied to it. The Boone County Sheriff holds that responsibility for every arrest in the county, whether made by Zionsville Police, the sheriff's own deputies, or any other law enforcement agency operating in Boone County. Booking records are public under IC 5-14-3, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act.

All persons listed in booking records are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
