What Arrest Records Show

Indiana Code IC 5-14-3-5 defines what arrest information agencies must make public. Required disclosures include the arrested person's name, address, charges, date and time of arrest, and the arresting agency. Booking photos are public in most situations.

An arrest does not equal a conviction. Charges can be dropped, reduced, or result in acquittal. If a case ends without conviction, the person may petition for expungement under Indiana law. Expunged records are removed from public access.

Juvenile arrest records are sealed. They are not public. If a juvenile is tried as an adult, the case records may become accessible at that point, but the underlying arrest records remain subject to different rules.
