How the 72 Hour Window Works
When a Spokane Valley deputy makes an arrest, the person is driven to the Spokane County Jail. Intake staff log the name, date of birth, charges, and booking number. The 72 hour clock starts at that point. A judge must hold a probable cause hearing within three court days. The judge sets bond, picks release terms, or holds the person for trial. That hearing is the first court date tied to the booking.
The roster updates as bookings come in. People are added and removed all day. It is a live snapshot, not a history. To track a name over time, you need the case file from the court, not the jail.
The Public Records Act at RCW 42.56 covers booking logs. RCW 70.48.100 is the jail records statute. Booking photos are usually withheld under that section.
What Spokane Valley Booking Records Show
A standard Spokane Valley booking record shows the inmate name, date of birth, sex, race, height, and weight. It lists the booking date and time, the booking number, the agency that made the arrest, and the charges. Bond is added when set. Court dates come next. The record may show holds from another agency or a federal warrant.
Some details are not public. Social Security numbers, medical info, and parts of juvenile files are sealed under RCW 10.97. Most other fields are open to anyone who asks.
For court status, use Find My Court Date or run the name through the Washington Courts case search and pick Spokane County. The Odyssey Portal works the same way.
