Adams County Jail Records Three Bookings on April 1, 2026

Three Adams County residents from separate corners of the county appeared on the jail's booking log for April 1: Zackary Bennington, 28, of Blue Creek; Jay Boldman, 51, of Peebles; and Ashley Francis, 25, of Manchester.

The report, compiled from arrest and intake data processed through the Adams County Sheriff's Office, listed up to three charges per individual as recorded by arresting agencies at the time of booking. The entries do not include case narratives or final dispositions; they reflect only what intake officers documented when each person was brought into custody.

Booking records carry a fundamental legal limitation. The charges listed represent what arresting agencies reported at intake and carry no presumption of guilt. Each individual is entitled to due process, formal charging decisions from the prosecutor's office, grand jury review where applicable, and legal representation as their cases proceed through the courts.

Charge information listed at booking is also subject to change. Prosecutors may add counts, amend allegations, or decline to file charges altogether once they review arrest reports and supporting evidence. The Adams County Clerk of Courts maintains official docket entries and case dispositions once formal charges are filed, making it the most reliable source for tracking how any case actually resolves. The Adams County Sheriff's Office handles arrest reports, bond information, and court date inquiries directly.

Daily booking logs are a standard transparency tool in Ohio's rural counties, used by defense attorneys, local reporters, and residents to monitor public-safety activity and pending court dockets. The Adams County Sheriff's Office publicly frames community transparency and tip-based information sharing as central to its mission of protecting neighborhoods, and the daily intake records are part of that public-facing record.
