72 Hour Booking Process in Lincoln County

Statute 641.05 requires the jail to keep a written record of every inmate. The record must show the person's name, the cause of detention, who committed them, and the date and time they arrived.

Lincoln County sits along the South Dakota border in the southwest corner of the state. The county covers 537 square miles with a small population spread across rural towns. Ivanhoe is the county seat and the site of the Sheriff's Office. The low population means the jail does not see a high volume of bookings compared to metro counties. But the same rules and timelines apply to every arrest. Deputies may patrol long stretches of highway and rural roads before bringing someone in for a 72 hour booking.

The county shares the Fifth Judicial District with several neighboring counties. Court appearances after the 72 hour booking happen at the courthouse in Ivanhoe. If you need records from a specific case, start with the jail roster or VINE, then check Minnesota Court Records Online for filings and dispositions.
