Questions or Information About a Current Prosecution Case
If you are being represented by an attorney, you must contact the attorney - not us. We are prohibited from discussing a case directly with a represented defendant, or friends or relatives of represented defendants.
Friends or relatives of a defendant should contact the jail for custody information, or the court for court dates or contact the defendant's attorney.
If you are not represented, you may contact our receptionist at 509-477-3662.
