Cass County Felony Case Process
Felony arrests in Cass County go to the Prosecutor's Office, which decides whether to file formal charges. If charges are filed, the case is assigned to the Cass County Circuit Court or Superior Court. The clerk records every step from initial appearance through final judgment. The official Cass County felony record includes the charging documents, all motions and responses, court orders, and the sentence. All of this is accessible through the clerk or through MyCase for cases that are in the electronic system.
Older Cass County felony records that predate the digital system may not be available through MyCase. For those, you need to visit the clerk's office in person. The staff can help locate older case files and tell you what is on hand. Bring a photo ID and as much case detail as you have. The more you know about the case, including the year, defendant name, and approximate case number, the faster the search will go.
Note: Indiana requires all court costs and fines from a Cass County felony case to be paid in full before an expungement petition can be filed, so keep copies of your payment records.
Cass County Felony Expungement
Indiana's expungement law under IC 35-38-9 gives Cass County residents a way to seal certain felony records. Filing fees for expungement petitions are waived under Indiana law. When a Cass County court grants a petition, the sealed records come off MyCase and the Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History database. They are no longer visible in public searches. This is a meaningful step for people who qualify and have served their time.
Waiting periods vary by offense type. Arrests that did not result in conviction may qualify after one year in some cases. Less serious felony convictions typically require eight years. More serious felonies require ten years plus written approval from the Cass County Prosecutor. All fines, costs, and restitution must be paid in full. Violent crimes and sex offenses listed under IC 35-38-9-8.5 cannot be expunged anywhere in Indiana.
