Checking Criminal History in Holt County
There is no one Holt County criminal records database. Missouri Case.net is the best first stop for a filed court case, while the Holt County Sheriff keeps its own incident, arrest, booking, jail, and warrant-related material. A city police report stays with the city agency that made it. MACHS, run by the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division, returns a statewide open-record history rather than a full local case file. MODOC Offender Search answers a narrower custody or supervision question.
Gather the full name, likely spelling variants, approximate event date, and case or incident number if known. A year of birth can narrow Case.net results. Exact date of birth or a Social Security number is needed for a MACHS name request. Use the least sensitive identifier the official channel requires, and compare dates, court, and charges before deciding that two records refer to the same person.
- Search Case.net by litigant name, case number, filing date, or scheduled hearing, with Holt County or the Fourth Judicial Circuit selected.
- Open the case number and read the header, parties, docket, charges, judgments, and hearing tabs.
- Call the Circuit Clerk for an old, non-imaged, missing, or certified court record.
- Ask the arresting agency for its report, then call Holt County Jail when current or past booking status matters.
- Use MACHS for statewide open history or its fingerprint route for a positive-identity review of your own Missouri record.
Holt County Case.net Routes
Case.net offers four useful routes into Holt County court records. Litigant Name Search works when a person is listed as a party. Case Number Search is more exact. Filing Date Search can reveal matters opened in a chosen span, and Scheduled Hearings & Trials shows upcoming court events. A name search will not expose a victim, witness, child, or other protected person merely because that name appears somewhere in a confidential part of the file.
The official Holt County homepage shows the county government setting behind these local records.
The courthouse view helps place the online docket in context: court staff, not the search screen, remain the source for certified and archived copies.
Missouri Official Background Checks
The Missouri Automated Criminal History Site has name and fingerprint channels. The public name route costs $15 plus an electronic payment convenience fee. It can report Missouri convictions, arrests less than 30 days old, pending prosecutor-filed charges, a suspended imposition of sentence while probation remains active, and a positive active Missouri registry match. It excludes closed Missouri information and FBI history. Results are possible identity matches and stay in the account for 90 days.
The fingerprint route begins with MACHS fingerprint registration, followed by capture through IDEMIA at the site selected in the portal.
Holt County research found no confirmed IDEMIA capture site inside the county, so the live location map should control travel plans.
| Channel | Product | Confirmed cost |
|---|---|---|
| MACHS name search | Missouri open-record possible name match | $15 plus convenience fee |
| MACHS fingerprint | Missouri fingerprint-based result | $20 state fee; specified checks $14; vendor fee may apply |
| CJIS notarization | Notarized response | $5 added |
| Case.net | Individual Missouri court cases | Free public search |
| Holt local check | No advertised sheriff product | Fee not published |
Holt Records at 107 South Main
The Holt County Sheriff, county jail, and 911 dispatch share 107 S. Main Street in Oregon. The official page does not advertise a distinct records division, request portal, downloadable form, copy fee, local clearance product, or response promise. Call 660-822-3001 or 660-822-3002 before visiting. Fax requests may go to 660-822-3005, and postal mail goes to P.O. Box 229, Oregon, MO 64473. Dispatch operates around the clock, but that does not mean every city report belongs to the sheriff.
The official sheriff page confirms the local contact and the building's jail and dispatch roles.
This direct channel matters because Holt County offers no public roster, booking log, warrant list, local request form, or sheriff records portal.
For a focused Sunshine request, identify the record type, subject or event, approximate date, location, arresting agency, and any incident, booking, warrant, or court number. Say whether you seek inspection, a copy, or certification. Ask the custodian to quote the permitted charge and explain any redaction. Holt County has not published an ID rule, delivery method, copy price, or fixed turnaround for sheriff records, so none should be assumed. If Oregon or Mound City police made the report, ask whether that department remains its custodian. County dispatch serves both, but routing calls does not transfer ownership of their investigative files.

Criminal Record Types
Each Holt County criminal record reflects a different stage. Police or deputies create an incident and arrest report. Jail staff add booking and custody data. The prosecutor chooses the charge to file, if any. The Circuit Clerk opens the judicial file. MSHP CJIS then assembles reportable Missouri events, while MODOC maintains state prison, probation, and parole information. The Missouri Sex Offender Registry is a separate public-safety system and not a general history report.
- Incident and arrest report: the event narrative held by the agency that investigated or made the arrest.
- Booking record: jail intake, holds, initial charges, bond, and custody status, confirmed directly in Holt County.
- Court case: filed charges, motions, hearings, plea, judgment, disposition, sentence, and financial entries.
- Repository history: MSHP CJIS reportable events, with public MACHS limited to open Missouri data.
- Warrant or supervision record: live court and law-enforcement status, or MODOC custody, probation, and parole data.
Holt County MACHS Name Gaps
A MACHS “no record” result is not the last word on a Holt County event. The event may be too new, not fingerprinted, outside a reportable class, missing a disposition, closed under Missouri law, or never submitted. A name request can also miss an alias or confuse people with similar identifiers. Case.net may still show the filed case, and the sheriff or police agency may still hold the source report.
The official MACHS search FAQ explains report scope, result retention, and correction steps.
If your own result appears wrong, save the PDF and supporting court order or disposition, then call CJIS Record Check Processing at 573-526-6153, option 3.
Inside a Holt County Criminal Record
A record's fields tell you which system produced it. A repository record groups identity, fingerprints, arrest cycles, prosecutor action, disposition, sentence, and corrections updates. A Holt County court file centers on the case number, division, docket, charges, hearings, judgment, and costs. A booking file emphasizes the intake event and present custody. Read the disposition for legal outcome, not the first booking charge.
| Name & identifiers | Names, aliases, date of birth, demographics, and repository identifiers when lawfully displayed. |
|---|---|
| Arrest & booking | Arrest date, agency, intake time, initial charge, hold, bond, and custody status. |
| Charges & statutes | Filed offense descriptions, statute or charge codes, alleged date, and felony or misdemeanor class. |
| Disposition | Dismissal, nolle prosequi, acquittal, guilty plea, conviction, or another final result for each count. |
| Sentence | Jail or prison term, probation, fine, restitution, and whether terms run together or in sequence. |
| Supervision status | County custody or MODOC incarceration, probation, parole, release, or discharge when public. |
- SIS
- Suspended imposition of sentence; open during probation and generally closed after successful completion.
- SES
- Suspended execution of a sentence already imposed, often paired with probation.
- Disposition
- The result of a charge or case, which must not be confused with the allegation at booking.
- Capias
- Court process directing an arrest, often tied to failure to appear or comply.
Holt County Custody Without a Roster
Holt County does not publish an official online jail roster. Call the jail with a full name, approximate booking date, and date of birth when appropriate. Ask whether the person is held, released, or transferred; request the booking number, listed hold, bond, issuing court, and route for a copy of the booking record. A missing Case.net result does not prove there was no booking because jail intake can precede a prosecutor's filing decision.
If the person entered state prison or state supervision, use MODOC Offender Search. The official District 1 page shows that the probation and parole office serving Holt County also covers six other northwest Missouri counties.
MODOC data answers a state custody or supervision question, not whether someone is now held at the Holt County Jail.
Public Access Laws in Missouri
The office holding the record applies the access rule. The Missouri Sunshine Law governs public custodians and requests. Separate law distinguishes open initial arrest or incident information from material that may remain closed during an investigation. Court Operating Rule 2 governs court access. MSHP dissemination rules shape the public repository response. Ask for segregable open portions and a written legal basis if access is denied.
Section 610.023 requires a public body to act as soon as possible and no later than the end of the third business day. That period is a response deadline, not a promise that every copy will be ready. If access must be delayed, the custodian should explain why and give the earliest time the material will be available. A denial's legal basis must be supplied in writing when requested. Section 610.026 permits certain copy, search, and research charges. This framework makes a clear request valuable: narrow dates and record identifiers can help the office find responsive Holt County material without broad research.
Key Missouri rules:
Chapter 610 RSMo establishes public-record requests, custodians, response duties, and permitted charges.
§ 610.100 RSMo governs law-enforcement incident, investigative, and arrest-record access.
§ 43.506 RSMo defines reportable events and Central Repository dissemination.
Court Operating Rule 2 controls public and confidential Missouri court records.
§ 610.140 RSMo sets the process for eligible Missouri expungement petitions.
Holt County Arrest-to-Case Trail
One arrest can yield four records that disagree without any one of them being false. The arresting officer writes the incident and arrest report. Booking staff record the intake charge and custody. The prosecutor may file a different charge, and the clerk then opens the court case. Reportable fingerprints and later dispositions move to MSHP CJIS. Timing, legal rules, and agency roles explain most gaps.
Record flow: arresting agency › Holt County Jail › Prosecuting Attorney › Circuit Clerk › MSHP CJIS.
The public MACHS name-search portal is the repository layer in that chain.
Use the underlying Holt County criminal court case to confirm what was actually filed and how each charge ended.
Sealed, Expunged, and Restricted Records
Missouri closes some nonconviction records, completed suspended-imposition matters, juvenile files, and protected identifying details. Closed does not mean destroyed or hidden from every agency with statutory access. Public Case.net also suppresses full Social Security numbers, confidential addresses, and birth day and month. Protected parties, victims, witnesses, and children may not be found by name.
Section 610.140 permits many eligible arrest, plea, trial, and conviction records to be expunged. It also contains major exclusions, lifetime caps, waiting periods, payment and conduct conditions, and grouping rules. The person files CR 145 in the court where charged or found guilty and names each record-holding agency that should be bound. Holt County's clerk does not publish a local fee schedule, so confirm filing, service, copy, and waiver details at the Circuit Clerk's office.
Holt County Expungement at the Courthouse
File the current CR 145 petition with the Holt County Circuit Court at 102B W. Nodaway Street. List each arrest, offense, case number, date, disposition, and required agency defendant. Common custodians can include the arresting agency, prosecutor, clerk, MSHP CJIS, and MODOC. Missing an office may leave its copy outside the order.
The official Missouri expungement statute is the controlling source for present eligibility and procedure.
A prosecutor has 30 days after service to object; an objection generally leads to a hearing within 60 days unless the parties agree otherwise, and the court must enter an order or dismissal within six months.
After relief, check Case.net and obtain your own repository response once agencies have time to process the order. Send a certified copy to the relevant custodian or CJIS correction unit if an affected record remains visible.
Expungement is distinct from a dismissal or a record that has become closed by operation of law. A dismissal states how a filed charge ended. A closed record is restricted from ordinary public access under a specific rule. An expungement order directs the named record holders to close eligible material after a court finds the statutory conditions met. Authorized agencies may still have access for uses preserved by law. The safest review compares the signed order with each named custodian rather than treating a missing search result as proof that every copy was processed.
Holt County Criminal Records by City
Mound City and Oregon have local police channels, while Maitland's documented starting point is county dispatch or its city clerk. None of the three has a current local court portal documented in the research. Case.net and the Holt County Circuit Clerk therefore provide the shared court fallback, while the city agency remains the source for its own report.
Mound City Criminal Records
Population 1,004. City police and clerk contacts lead to county jail and court checks.
Oregon Criminal Records
Population 837. County dispatch, jail, sheriff, and courthouse functions meet in the county seat.
Maitland Criminal Records
Population 276. Begin with the documented sheriff, dispatch, and city clerk channels.
Holt County Federal Record Layer
Federal criminal cases from Holt County fall within the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. PACER is the official federal docket channel and requires an account. The Bureau of Prisons locator handles federal custody, while an FBI Identity History Summary is a subject-only record review. None replaces the local court file, Holt County Jail confirmation, or a MACHS Missouri result.
The Western District of Missouri website identifies the federal court and its official locations.
No federal courthouse or federal prison is documented inside Holt County, and a local warrant call cannot disclose a sealed federal warrant.
