Direct answer
For Lucas County Ohio arrest records, start with the Lucas County Sheriff for the local arrest or custody event, preserve the Sheriff-side identifier, and use the Lucas County Clerk of Courts Criminal Division for felony case filings and disposition.
Lucas County law-enforcement records and felony court files have different custodians
For a Lucas County arrest question, the Sheriff’s Office is the local law-enforcement side of the trail. Preserve the arrest or booking date, agency or facility, and any Sheriff-side report, warrant, or custody identifier that appears. That local record describes an agency action or detention event; it is not automatically the full court history.
The Lucas County Clerk of Courts Criminal Division says it maintains the paperwork for felony case proceedings, including filings through indictment and arraignment, and operates the criminal file room. That is the appropriate second layer when the question becomes what felony case was filed or what the court record later shows. Use the criminal case number as a separate identifier rather than replacing the Sheriff record number with it.
