NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, state, or federal agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource points visitors toward Marshall County and West Virginia criminal-record sources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government affiliation. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve a record, perform an official background check, or file documents for a visitor.
The site identifies custodians of Marshall County records, including the sheriff, the proper court clerk, the West Virginia State Police Criminal Identification Bureau, and the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Access to nonexempt government records may be available under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code chapter 29B, article 1, but a request must go to the government office that holds the record.
2. Rules for Using This Site
As a condition of access, you agree not to:
- Use automated scraping, bots, or similar tools against the pages
- Interfere with performance or prevent another person from using the site
- Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
- Use site content for a lending, employment, housing, or insurance decision
- Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
- Violate any applicable federal, state, or local law
A court-record search is not permission to obtain a state rap sheet. Under W. Va. Code §15-2-24(d), nongovernmental disclosure of a West Virginia Criminal Identification Bureau record requires the subject's signed, acknowledged authorization and remains subject to superintendent approval.
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
You may not use this website or a linked tool to intimidate, threaten, stalk, harass, or discriminate against anyone. That rule is especially important for information from the West Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry. Registry data is published for public safety awareness, not vigilantism or unlawful action against a listed person. Misuse may violate West Virginia law.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer tools through this site for regulated screening. You agree not to use this site's information or a linked tool to:
- Make any other decision governed by the FCRA
- Set insurance eligibility, rates, or premiums
- Judge creditworthiness
- Evaluate a housing or rental application
- Make a hiring or termination decision
A lawful check for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized official channel or a consumer reporting agency that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Marshall County charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to a particular set of facts. Consult a lawyer licensed in West Virginia for legal advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- A partner search result will be complete or accurate
- The pages contain no error, security flaw, or software defect
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Any information is complete, accurate, or current
Criminal records can change when a charge is filed, dismissed, sealed, corrected, or expunged. Updates may not appear here at once. No statement on this website is an official statement from the Marshall County sheriff, a court, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court systems, West Virginia agencies, legal aid resources, and outside search providers. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, charges, data practices, or availability. Their own terms govern use after you leave this website.
8. Intellectual Property
Marshall County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm or damages arising from website use, including reliance on content obtained here or through an external service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your website use or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
