Open the sheriff's jail roster and type a last name or a booking number. Each entry gives the charges, the bond set on each count and the agency that brought the person in, so it also answers which department made the arrest. Someone released earlier in the day may already be gone from the list. If a name is missing, call the jail at 785-364-2251; staff can say whether the person was booked and released, moved, or never brought to Holton.
