Daviess County Recent Arrests Quick Facts
Daviess County Sheriff Bookings
The Daviess County Sheriff's Office is located at 101 NE 4th St, Washington, IN 47501. The main phone line is 812-254-1060. When someone is arrested anywhere in Daviess County, that person is brought to the county jail for the booking process. The sheriff's office takes fingerprints, photographs, and identifying information from every person in custody, as required under Indiana Code 36-2-13-5.
The booking record created at that point becomes a public document. Under Indiana Code 5-14-3-5, certain data from every arrest must be disclosed publicly. That includes the arrested person's name, age, and address; the charge; the date, time, and location of the arrest; the name of the officer who made the arrest; and which agency ran the investigation. Daviess County follows these same rules.
For current jail roster information, the INjail statewide portal is a good starting point. It covers Daviess County and dozens of other Indiana jails, showing current inmates and booking data in real time. You can also call the jail directly at the number above if online tools don't show what you need.
Note: Active investigation records may be temporarily withheld under IC 5-14-3-4. Once an investigation is resolved, the records typically become public.
INjail Multi-County Portal
The INjail portal is free and does not require an account. It pulls real-time data from participating Indiana county jails, Daviess County included. You search by name and see current custody status, charges, and booking date. This is the fastest way to check if someone is currently held in the Daviess County jail without calling the facility.
INjail is also useful when you're unsure which county someone was arrested in. You can search broadly across many counties at once. Results update continuously and reflect who is currently in custody. It does not show historical records or people who have been released.

Daviess County Expungement Rules

If you were arrested in Daviess County but not charged, or if charges were dismissed or you were acquitted, you may be eligible to petition the court to seal the arrest record. Some misdemeanor convictions can also be expunged after eight years. The petition goes to the Daviess County court where the case was heard.
