Sherburne County jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Sherburne County Jail. It is an arrest-stage record: it says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It never says the person was convicted.
Most official rosters list only the people held now, so an entry usually comes down after release. Sherburne County’s roster at inmatelocatorext.co.sherburne.mn.us is the place to confirm current custody.

Booking at the Sherburne County Jail
Shows that someone was arrested in Sherburne County and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Sherburne County Jail roster.
Filed in the District Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the District Court, which hears misdemeanors too. The charge filed can differ from the charge at booking.
Disposition in the court file
Conviction, dismissal or acquittal is in the court record, kept by the District Court administrator. Minnesota court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record alone never proves a crime. Read the guide to arrest records for how bookings, charges and dispositions differ, and why a dismissed charge can still appear.
