What Lapeer County 72 Hour Booking Records Show

When you get a 72 hour booking record from Lapeer County, it will include several pieces of data. The person's full legal name appears first, along with any aliases. Their date of birth, height, weight, and physical description follow. The charges at the time of booking are listed with the relevant statute numbers. Bond type and amount are included if a bond was set.

The record also shows the booking date and time, which is when the person was processed into the jail. The arresting agency is listed. This could be the Lapeer County Sheriff's Office, Lapeer City Police, or another local department that made the arrest. The booking itself always happens at the county jail regardless of which agency handled the arrest. If you request the full record, you may also get a copy of the mugshot that was taken during intake. Michigan courts have held that booking photos are public records and cannot be withheld on privacy grounds.

Lapeer County Jail vs State Records

The 72 hour booking record stays with the Lapeer County Sheriff. It documents the initial arrest and intake. If the person is later convicted and gets more than a year in prison, they move to a state facility under the Michigan Department of Corrections. At that point, OTIS takes over for tracking. But OTIS does not show county jail inmates. It only covers people in state custody or on supervision.

So for recent bookings, Lapeer County is where you go. For state prison info, use OTIS. Under MCL § 750.492, refusing to release public records without a valid exemption is a misdemeanor. The courts have consistently ruled that FOIA should be read as a pro-disclosure law. If the Lapeer County Sheriff denies your request, you can appeal.
