How Coleman Arrests Move Through Local Systems
Coleman counted 1,262 residents in the 2020 Census. That makes it the second-largest incorporated place in Midland County. The city runs its own police department, separate from the Midland County Sheriff's Office. It does not run its own jail database. Someone arrested by a city officer is booked into Midland County Jail, and the county keeps that booking and custody record.
From there, the paper trail splits by custodian. Coleman Police may hold the incident or arrest report. The jail keeps the booking card, release data, and any booking photo. Court filings cover what happens next. Dates rarely line up, since the arrest, booking, arraignment, release, and outcome are separate steps. Match the person, agency, location, and date before trusting any single record.
The county's recent arrests hub goes deeper on the roster, booking-photo limits, records process, and warrant route. One question frames every Coleman search. Is it the city incident or current custody?
Where Coleman Recent Arrests Appear
Coleman Police post no daily blotter or arrest log. The city publishes no booking search and no mugshot page either. That gap is actually useful. It sends each question straight to the office that holds the record, instead of to a feed that never updates.
| Channel | Status | Best use | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Coleman contact page | Official city source | Police contact and city incident routing | No arrest roster or published update schedule |
| Midland County JailTracker | Official county-linked portal | Current county jail custody | Not a full city arrest history |
| Midland County records portal | Official county channel | Focused requests for county-held records | Does not replace a Coleman Police request |
| MiCOURT | Official court information | Public case activity when available | Online data is not the official court record |
| 75th District Court open warrants | Official court source | Periodic Traffic and Criminal division list | Not a complete statewide warrant check |
| OurMidland Police and Courts | Local news, not government | Dated reports about local police and sheriff activity | Mixed events and incomplete booking coverage |
Official sources matter because they create or maintain the record itself. Local news can pin down a date. But a news story may skip a booking. It may also miss a release, a changed charge, or a later outcome. Commercial arrest copies don't prove anyone is still in custody.
Coleman Has No Public Arrest Feed Located
The official Coleman contact page names the police chief and lists a non-emergency number. What it doesn't offer is any current arrest list. There is no booking search there. No mugshot page exists either. No posting schedule is stated. Calling that page a daily feed would be false, and nothing guarantees an arrest appears there within a set number of hours.
The practical fallback is direct. Use the city contact for a Coleman police incident, and the county roster for current jail custody. Use the county portal for records Midland County holds. The court system covers later case status. An online absence only tells you so much. A person might have been cited rather than jailed, released before the roster check, transferred, or booked in another county. Name spellings differ, and some people are left off public display. The city may still keep an agency record anyway. A no-result screen is not proof that no arrest took place.
Find Someone Arrested in Coleman
A good lookup follows the record from the event to custody and then to court. Note the time of each search. The roster shifts as people enter and leave custody.
- Gather the full name, likely date, Coleman location, and arresting agency. Keep any incident, booking, or case number.
- Open the official county-linked JailTracker portal. Search by last name first, then narrow with first name or booking number if the interface offers those fields.
- Compare dates, agency details, and other identifiers. Never identify a person only from a photograph or a similar name.
- If the matter involved Coleman Police, call police non-emergency at 989-465-1711 and ask which office maintains the specific incident record.
- If current county custody is the question and no match appears, call Midland County Jail at 989-832-6612 or Sheriff Records at 989-839-4630.
- Check MiCOURT or contact the 75th District Court at 989-832-6700 for public case activity and verify important details with the clerk.
The county describes JailTracker as a current inmate roster. It is not a full list of everyone arrested in Coleman this week. A roster shows who is in custody right now. The Daily Arrest Report explains how the county builds a fixed 24-hour view and why the two differ.
Coleman Incident and County Custody Are Different
"Coleman" can mean three things. It may name the scene, the police jurisdiction, or an address. "Midland County Jail" names the custody facility. Neither label proves the other. A Coleman officer can make an arrest that ends in a county booking, yet a roster entry alone doesn't place the arrest inside the city.
- Incident location
- The place tied to the reported event; verify it in the agency record.
- Arresting agency
- The police or sheriff office that created the arrest report.
- Booking facility
- The jail that completed intake and maintains its booking record.
- Court record
- The complaint, hearings, bond orders, and disposition maintained by the court.
The same distinction guards against mixing unrelated records. A news story, a roster hit, and a court case can carry close dates yet describe different events. Match the identifiers, and trust the source that owns each fact.
Request Coleman Arrest and Police Records
Coleman Police handle city records through the official city contact route. Start any inquiry there. Ask for one named, existing record and keep the scope tight. A request works best with specific details. It should list the full name, a date range, the location, an incident number, and the record type sought. The Coleman city page publishes no dedicated arrest-record form. It also sets no posted fee for a booking photograph. An arrest report tied to a specific person and date is one example. For a county jail booking card, release record, or booking photo, the route changes. Go through the Midland County records portal instead. If another agency holds the item, ask the office to clarify custody.
- Decide whether Coleman Police, the Sheriff, jail, or court created the record.
- Describe the record, person, place, and date range with enough detail to locate it.
- Ask for electronic inspection or copies and request an estimate if charges may apply.
- Keep the request confirmation and any written response.
- If material is withheld, ask for the legal basis and any segregable public portion.
Some records stay off limits. Juvenile files, sealed material, victim details, medical data, and active-investigation information can all be restricted. A public-record request also cannot force an office to build a citywide arrest list or answer broad research questions; it only reaches existing records.
Coleman Police Contact for Arrest Records
The city's public contact details appear below. Use the non-emergency number for police record routing. Emergency lines are for active emergencies only.
City of Coleman / Coleman Police sits at 201 East Railway Street in Coleman, MI 48618. City Hall answers at 989-465-6961, the police non-emergency line is 989-465-1711, and Chief of Police Anthony McKerchie heads the department.
The official City of Coleman contact page displays the city's public access point for record questions.

That page is a contact route only. It offers no arrest log, custody list, or booking photo gallery.
Midland County Sheriff’s Office
2727 Rodd Street
Midland, MI 48640
Main / Records: 989-839-4630
Records email: sheriffrecords@co.midland.mi.us
Jail: 989-832-6612
County-held booking and custody questions go to the county contact. The city and county can each touch parts of the same event. One office should never be assumed to hold the whole file.
Court and Warrant Follow-Up After a Coleman Arrest
A booking record shows what was logged at intake. It says nothing final about a case. MiCOURT offers public online case information when available. The 75th District Court holds its own official file and current status. Check the court first. Never treat an old roster result as a bond order, arraignment date, amended charge, plea, or dismissal. The county's open-warrants page is narrow too. It lists current open warrants for the Traffic and Criminal divisions of the 75th District Court. It gets periodic updates. It is not a statewide or federal sweep of every court. Confirm directly, and never approach or try to detain anyone over an online listing. Michigan VINE does something different. It sends confidential custody and court-event notifications for participating records. It is not a Coleman arrest feed or public roster. Use it to track one known person after confirming identity and the correct custody system.
Local Reports About Coleman Arrests
OurMidland covers arrests across the county in its Police and Courts section. A single story may pull from both the sheriff's office and Midland Police. Expect crashes, calls, and arrests mixed together. A mention of Coleman is common. That mention is not a Coleman police roster, though. Treat each article as one window into a day of Midland County arrests, not a complete list.
Any useful report deserves a careful read. Keep the publication date, the time span the writer describes, the agency named, and the exact wording. Then check the agency record and the court file. News ages fast. Arraignment, dismissal, a changed charge, release, or sentencing can all overtake an older story. Coleman has no dedicated booking newspaper and no official blotter of its own.
Third-party sites copy names, dates, charges, and photos. Those copies go stale quickly. This page hosts no gallery and reprints no booking photographs. When an official record lacks an image, the gap may reflect portal design, record status, policy, or a legal limit. It does not prove no booking photo exists. For any releasable image, ask the government custodian directly.
