You also see the charges, the current disposition (like awaiting trial or sentenced), and the total bail amount. The SID number is a state identification number.

That level of detail is useful if you want to track someone's progress through the system.

The arresting agency field tells you who made the arrest. It could be the Lincoln County Sheriff, a city police department, or the state patrol. Having the next court date listed is especially handy. It saves you from having to search court records separately just to find out when a hearing is scheduled. Lincoln County houses inmates from other counties on occasion, including Murray County. If the arresting agency shows a different county, that person was transferred in under a contract arrangement.
