Can I Find Out Why Someone Is in Jail?
If a case has been filed against a person who is in custody at the Franklin County jail, you can find that information.
If the inmate was arrested for a misdemeanor or felony in Frankin County, you can search the FCMC Clerk records. You also can search the Franklin County Clerk of Court’s Case Information Online (CIO) for felonies filed in the Court of Common Pleas.
If you search in both places and cannot find a case for your friend or relative, the case may not be filed yet. Their case may also have originated in another state or county.
