Cass County Booking Release Records
Booking releases from Cass County contain standard information. The person's name, date of birth, booking date and time, charges, bond amount, and release information are all part of the record. Some entries also list the arresting agency and housing assignment within the jail.
Under Missouri's Sunshine Law, specifically RSMo 610.100, these records are open to the public. Arrest reports, booking logs, and mugshots are all accessible. You do not need a reason to request them. The sheriff's office must respond to your request within the time frame set by the Sunshine Law.
Records can close under certain conditions. RSMo 610.120 says that if no charges are filed within 30 days, the arrest report becomes closed. The same applies to cases that get dismissed or result in a not guilty verdict. Active cases and convictions keep the booking release record open.
Paper copies cost about $0.10 per page under the Sunshine Law. If the request takes significant staff time, the county can charge for that. Most simple booking release lookups are quick and do not add extra cost.
