Madison County Booking Record Details
Each record on the Madison County booking report shows key facts. The booking date and time come first. A unique booking number is assigned. The person's full name is listed. Charges tell you what they were arrested for. Bond info shows the amount or status when available. Some entries say the charges are pending, which means the state attorney has not finalized them yet.
What you see on the 72 hour report is the charge at the time of booking. It can change. The state attorney for the 3rd Judicial Circuit reviews every case and has the power to add, drop, or modify charges. Bond amounts can also shift after a court hearing. The booking report and court records are two separate systems. For final case outcomes and court dates in Madison County, check with the Clerk of Court rather than the jail.
