Delaware County Jail Recent Bookings And Arrests

Arrests and Booking

Booking at the Delaware County Jail in Manchester

Arrests anywhere in Delaware County end at the sheriff's correctional facility on West Howard Street, where Hemesath's jail division lists the intake steps every new prisoner completes in order.

1. Bagging property at the West Howard Street intake counter. Delaware County jailers search each new arrival and log the belongings taken from them, which the listing confirms are seized and stored during booking.
2. Hemesath's Manchester medical screening. The jail division names a medical screening, and the listing adds questions on mental-health and substance-use history for each Delaware County arrestee.
3. Ink, camera and possibly a swab at Howard Street. Manchester jailers fingerprint and photograph Delaware County arrestees as Iowa Code 690.2 directs, and a DNA swab can follow when Iowa law calls for one, per the listing.
4. Running a warrants check on the Manchester arrestee. Delaware County's jail division ends intake by searching for warrants, which can reveal holds from another Iowa county or a federal agency.
5. One or more Manchester calls paid by Delaware County. Hemesath's booking officers let each newcomer place one or more calls without charge, per the listing, and that Manchester call to a relative, a buddy or a bond helper is in addition to the contact rights Iowa Code 804.20 gives for family and counsel.
6. Hemesath's short contact roster for each newcomer. Before a single Manchester visit or call happens, the newcomer hands Hemesath's staff a short roster of names, and nobody on it gets through until Delaware County signs off.
7. Odekirk's magistrates and the 804.21 clock. Delaware County deputies may not sit on a Manchester arrest: 804.21 has them present the person to a First District magistrate with no needless delay.

Posting cash at Howard Street, or lining up an 811.3 surety instead, is laid out step by step in the West Howard Street bond guide.
