For court records, the clerk of courts and municipal court both have search options. The municipal court's online tool is the quickest for misdemeanor cases.
If you want records that are not available online, call the sheriff at 419-562-7906 or the clerk at 419-562-2766. Written requests can be mailed to either office.
