LaGrange County Jail, IN

Handling payments for LaGrange County cases? Start with the Clerk's Office rules. In-person payments at the courthouse are cash only. To pay a traffic charge by mail, send a money order plus a copy of your ticket or ticket number to the Traffic Violation mailing address—no cash or personal checks. Traffic judgments add a one-time $139.50 administrative/stop fee to the listed fine. You can also pay court-ordered fines through PayGov by phone or the State's online court payment system. Don't pay within 30 days and you risk a BMV notice and license suspension. Bail can be posted by cash/securities, surety bond, or a court-approved real-estate-secured bond. Cash bail in the defendant's name may be applied to court costs and other ordered amounts.

Looking for someone connected to LaGrange County Jail? Start with the county's jail pages, then broaden your search using Indiana's offender search if you think they may be in state custody. Match the tool to where the person is held—local, state, or federal. One important caveat: PublicAccess.in.gov notes that electronic court information is restricted and what you see online isn't an official court record. It may contain errors or omissions. The Indiana Department of Correction also warns that anyone republishing offender-search information is solely liable for related claims. Online records are snapshots—charges, custody status, and release dates can be outdated—so confirm with county or official state sources. No results? Try multiple sources since county sites vary in format.

LaGrange County's Circuit and Superior courts publish local rules with a standard bond schedule—set bail amounts by offense level. Murder explicitly carries no bond. Family violence arrests trigger a waiting period: the defendant can't post bond until the earlier of the initial hearing or 24 hours after arrest. This provides a cooling-off period. For felony cases involving violence or threats, pretrial release may include court-ordered conditions like no contact with the alleged victim and a ban on firearms or other deadly weapons. Traffic issues go through the courts. Pay or deny a traffic complaint by the appearance date. Denying requires a written denial so a trial date can be set. The county also offers a traffic ticket deferral program for eligible people, with limits for CDL holders.
