Greene County Recent Arrests Quick Facts
Greene County Sheriff Arrest Records
The Greene County Sheriff's Office handles all county-level arrests and maintains the jail at 110 N Main St, Bloomfield, IN 47424. When someone is booked into the Greene County Jail, the sheriff's staff creates an arrest record that includes full name, booking date and time, charges, and the arresting agency. These records are public under IC 5-14-3-3, Indiana's core public records statute. Anyone can request or view them without providing a reason.
Call the sheriff's office at 812-384-6171 to ask about a specific person in custody. Staff can confirm whether someone is being held, what they are charged with, and whether bond has been set. The Greene County government website at greenecounty.in.gov provides additional contact information for the sheriff's office and links to other county resources.
Greene County is a rural county in south-central Indiana. The sheriff's office handles most arrests directly, with some referrals from the Bloomfield Police Department and Indiana State Police troopers who operate in the county. That makes the sheriff's booking log the primary local source for Greene County recent arrests. Calls from local police departments are processed through the same jail and appear in the same public record.
Greene County Court Records
After an arrest in Greene County, the county prosecutor reviews the case and decides whether to file charges. If charges are filed, the case goes to the Greene Circuit Court or Greene Superior Court in Bloomfield. Those court records are searchable for free through Indiana's MyCase system at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. Search by defendant name or case number to find criminal filings tied to recent Greene County arrests.
MyCase is updated on a regular basis and draws from the Indiana Court System's statewide database. That means Greene County cases appear in the same search as records from every other Indiana county. The system shows case type, current status, scheduled hearings, and documents filed with the court. If you want to know what happened after someone was booked in Bloomfield, MyCase is the fastest way to track the case through the legal process.
Some records are restricted from public view under IC 5-14-3-4. Juvenile cases, sealed records, and certain documents tied to active investigations may not appear in MyCase. Basic criminal case information, including charges, case status, and court dates, is almost always public. If a record is not visible online, the Greene County Clerk's office can tell you why and how to request it. IC 5-14-3-5 sets the rules for how agencies respond to those requests.

MyCase is free and available 24 hours a day. Use it to follow a Greene County arrest through the full court process, from initial charges to final disposition.
Note: MyCase records only reflect public filings. Cases that have been expunged under IC 35-38-8 will not appear.
IDOC Offender Search for Former Greene County Inmates
When a person convicted of a crime in Greene County is sentenced to state prison, they leave the county jail and enter the Indiana Department of Correction system. The IDOC offender locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov lets you track where they are housed, what their sentence looks like, and when they are projected to be released. This tool covers all IDOC facilities across Indiana.
The IDOC search is free and open to the public. It is useful when you are tracking someone who was arrested in Greene County but was convicted and transferred to a state facility. The county jail record shows the initial booking. The IDOC record picks up from the point of transfer and continues until release or other disposition. Together, these two records give a complete picture of someone's movement through the Indiana criminal justice system.
IC 36-2-13-5 places the duty of maintaining accurate inmate records on the county sheriff. The IDOC extends that duty at the state level by tracking offenders after they leave county custody. That continuity of records is what makes it possible for the public to follow a case from arrest to release.

Use the IDOC tool when your search for a Greene County arrest has led to a state prison sentence and you need to find the person's current facility and release date.
Indiana State Police Criminal History
The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History system at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2/index.html covers arrests from all Indiana counties, including Greene. This tool is useful when you want to see a broader arrest history rather than just what is in the current Greene County jail roster. Results include arrest dates, charge descriptions, counties, and dispositions. Some detailed records require a small fee, while basic results are often free.
For formal records requests, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act gives you the right to request records from the Greene County Sheriff or the courts. IC 5-14-3-5 requires agencies to acknowledge requests within 24 hours and produce the records or give a written denial within seven business days. You can also submit requests to the Indiana State Police using the online portal at in.accessgov.com/isp-apra.

Expungement of Greene County Arrest Records
Indiana Code IC 35-38-8, available at iga.in.gov/laws/2024/ic/titles/35#35-38-8, provides a path to seal arrest records from public databases for people who meet the eligibility requirements. If a Greene County arrest did not result in a conviction, the record can often be expunged after a one-year waiting period. Misdemeanor convictions may qualify after five years. The petition must be filed with the Greene Circuit Court or Superior Court in Bloomfield.
Expungement removes the record from public searches like MyCase and the ISP criminal history portal. Law enforcement retains access, but the public cannot see the record after an expungement is granted. A local attorney or legal aid service can help determine whether a specific Greene County arrest qualifies and assist with filing the petition.
Note: Serious violent felonies are generally excluded from expungement eligibility. Check IC 35-38-8 carefully or consult an attorney to confirm eligibility for a specific charge type.
