Adair County Court Clerk Office

The Adair County Court Clerk handles all felony records filed in the district court. Nichole Cooper serves as Court Clerk and manages case files, docket entries, and public records requests.

Felony cases in Adair County use the format CF-YYYY-XXXX. That prefix tells you it is a criminal felony filing. Each record shows the charge count, charge code, and charge description along with the degree of offense. You can also see the file date, offense date, disposition, and sentencing details. The arresting agency is listed too. These records date back to 1907, though online access through OSCN covers cases from around 1999 forward.

The County Clerk, Timothy Fishinghawk, handles land records and can be reached at (918) 696-7198. His office deals with property filings rather than criminal case files. For felony records specifically, contact the Court Clerk's office listed above.
