Where to Start for Jail or Record Questions
For current Lyon County Jail custody questions, start with the jail or sheriff's office. Sheriff Eric Wallen and the Lyon County Sheriff's Office are listed at 611 West Main Street, Marshall, MN 56258. The sheriff's main number is (507) 537-7666. The Lyon County Jail direct line is (507) 929-6623 at the same West Main Street law-enforcement and courthouse complex.
Jail administration contacts listed by the county include Jail Administrator Brad Marks at (507) 929-6647, Administrative Sergeant Gabriel Figueroa at (507) 929-6645, and Program Sergeant Michael Sumerfelt at (507) 929-6640. Use those jail administration contacts only when the topic fits their role, such as jail operations, release-program reporting, or program questions.
For city-police records created by Marshall Police, the research source lists records release and data-practices requests during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., by phone at (507) 537-7000. Lyon County District Court and the Lyon County Attorney are separate routing points for filed court cases, hearing records, certified court copies, and prosecution context after an arrest.
Use this routing list to choose the right page or official system:
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and then the Lyon County Jail direct line if the roster does not answer the question.
- For booking photos or photo availability, read jail roster mugshots before making a data request.
- For filed charges, court dates, or case documents after booking, use court records after a jail arrest.
- For facility address and jail-specific details, use the Lyon County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Minnesota state prisoner, use the Minnesota Department of Corrections public offender locator, not the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
