Le Sueur County Warrant List and Booking Records
Le Sueur County posts an active warrant listing online at lesueurcounty.firstcloudit.com/warrants2.html. The list shows people who have outstanding warrants in the county. It is one of the main public-facing tools the Sheriff's Office provides for arrest and booking-related data. No account or fee is needed to view it.
Warrant case numbers follow two formats: 40CR###### for criminal matters and 40FA###### for family court cases. Each entry lists the charge type as Felony (F), Gross Misdemeanor (GM), or Misdemeanor (MS). Common charges include fraud, violation of a court order, failure to appear, drug offenses, probation violations, DWI, theft, and domestic assault. The list is updated regularly and may be long during active enforcement periods.
The screenshot below shows the Le Sueur County warrant portal, which serves as the primary public access point for booking-related records in this county.
A name on the warrant list means that person has an open warrant and is not yet in custody. Warrant status can change quickly. Check the list again if you need current data, or call the Sheriff's Office at (507) 357-4440 to confirm whether someone is currently held at the jail.
Note: The warrant list and a jail booking roster are separate records. The warrant list tracks people with open warrants. Booking records reflect who has already been taken into custody and processed.

What Le Sueur County Booking Reports Contain
A booking report documents what was recorded at the time of arrest and jail intake. Le Sueur County booking records include the person's name, date of birth, booking date, charges, case number, and charge severity. Charge types are labeled Felony, Gross Misdemeanor, or Misdemeanor. That breakdown matters for bail, sentencing exposure, and which court handles the case.
The case number format tells you something about the matter. CR cases are criminal. FA cases are family court. The six-digit number following the prefix is the case identifier. If you have a case number, you can look it up through the statewide court portal at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us to track what happened after booking.
Charges on a booking record reflect the arrest basis only. Prosecutors may add counts, drop some, or reach a plea agreement. The booking record does not update to reflect those later changes. Court records are the right source for current case status once a matter moves past intake.
Note: Booking data under Minnesota law is public per Statute 13.82. That statute classifies arrest data as accessible government data. Some details linked to active investigations or juvenile records may be withheld.
Minnesota Data Practices and Access Rights
Minnesota Statute 13.82 makes arrest and booking data public. The Sheriff's Office is required to make this information available. The online warrant list is one way Le Sueur County meets that requirement. No formal records request is needed to access it.
The broader rules come from Chapter 13 of the Minnesota Statutes, the Government Data Practices Act. It sets out what government data is public, what is private, and how agencies must handle requests. Booking data generally lands on the public side. Juvenile records, certain active investigation files, and data protected by court order may be withheld.
If you want records that aren't available online, submit a written request to the Sheriff's Office at 88 South Park Ave., Le Center, MN 56057. Include the name, approximate booking date, and your contact information. The office is required to respond. A small copying fee may apply for printed documents.
Statewide Tools for Minnesota Booking and Arrest Data
The Le Sueur County warrant list covers only that county. When you need to look beyond local records, several statewide tools are available. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension offers a criminal history search at dps.mn.gov. It covers arrests and convictions statewide. There is a small fee for public name searches.
The Minnesota DOC offender locator at coms.doc.state.mn.us tracks people in state prison or on supervised release. It does not show county jail holds, but it is useful once a case reaches sentencing. Court case records for Le Sueur County are on the statewide portal at publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us, which shows filings, hearings, and dispositions.
VINE at vinelink.com or 1-877-664-8463 provides free custody alerts. Register a person's name and get notified when their custody status changes. That covers Le Sueur County jail holds and state facilities. It's a useful option when you need ongoing updates rather than a one-time search.
Court Records for Le Sueur County Cases
Le Sueur County is served by the First Judicial District. After an arrest and booking, the case moves to district court in Le Center. All filings are public unless a judge seals them. The court handles criminal, civil, and family matters for the county.
The statewide court portal lets you search Le Sueur County cases by name or case number. Results show case type, parties, charges, hearing dates, and dispositions. Documents like complaints or sentencing orders are sometimes available online, though not always. In-person access at the courthouse is available for full file review.
Copies of court documents typically cost a per-page fee. For basic case status, the online portal is free and usually faster. Bring a case number when visiting in person to save time at the counter.
Note: Court records and booking records are separate systems. Booking records show the arrest. Court records show what happened in the legal process afterward. Both are public under Minnesota law.
