What Arrest Records Contain

An arrest does not mean guilt. Charges can be dropped, reduced, or result in a not-guilty finding. If a case ends that way, the arrested person can request expungement under Indiana law. Expunged records are no longer visible in public searches.

Very recent arrests may not yet appear, since courts take time to report dispositions to the state. For a certified record for legal purposes, contact the Floyd County Clerk's office rather than relying on the LCH database.
