Hendricks County Arrest Records Lookup

Hendricks County recent arrests are booked through the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office, with the county jail located at 189 East Campus Boulevard in Danville. Whether an arrest is made by the sheriff's department, Avon Police, Brownsburg Police, or another local agency, all detainees go through the county jail system. This page explains how to search current inmates, find court records tied to arrests, and access related statewide tools.

Hendricks County Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Hendricks County Sheriff's Office is at 925 E. Main Street, Danville, IN 46122. You can call the main line at 317-745-6261 or reach the fax at 317-745-1448. The county jail is a separate facility at 189 East Campus Boulevard, Danville. All people arrested in Hendricks County are held there, not at individual police department lockups in towns like Avon or Brownsburg.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, the sheriff must take fingerprints, photographs, and identifying data from everyone taken into custody. This requirement applies to all arrests in Hendricks County regardless of which agency made the arrest. The data feeds into statewide systems and becomes the foundation of the public arrest record. The sheriff also coordinates with court system staff to ensure booking data moves into case management records once charges are filed.

Note: Local departments in Avon and Brownsburg conduct arrests but transfer custody to the county jail for booking and holding.

Hendricks County Jail Inmate Search

The Hendricks County online inmate lookup system is available through the county's website. The link below shows the portal that tracks current individuals held at the Hendricks County Jail.

The Hendricks County Jail inmate lookup at avonindiana.gov/204/Hendricks-County-Jail-Inmate-Lookup lets you search by name or inmate ID. Results show who is currently in the facility, recent releases, charge information, and bond status. Mugshots may also appear depending on the entry. This is a free search that pulls live data from the jail system.

The system tracks all Hendricks County recent arrests in real time. If someone was booked today, they will typically appear within a few hours. You can search by first name, last name, or a combination. The results include booking date, charges, and current custody status. Bond information shows whether someone has posted bail or is still held.

Court Records for Hendricks County Arrests

Once the Hendricks County Prosecutor files charges following an arrest, the case appears in MyCase. MyCase is Indiana's free public court records system at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. You can search by name or case number. MyCase shows charge details, hearing dates, attorney of record, case status, and case disposition once the matter is resolved.

The image below shows the MyCase search portal used for Hendricks County court records tied to recent arrests.

MyCase is maintained by the Indiana Supreme Court and covers all 92 counties, so you can search across county lines if you think a person has cases in multiple jurisdictions.

Under IC 5-14-3-5, arrest records must include the name, age, and address of the person arrested, the charge, the date and time and location of the arrest, the arresting officer's name, and the agency. MyCase case records often mirror this information and add court-specific data like attorney appearances and scheduled hearings. Both the inmate lookup and MyCase together give a fairly complete picture of a Hendricks County recent arrest from booking through resolution.

What the Public Can Access Under Indiana Law

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, found at IC 5-14-3-3 and IC 5-14-3-4, makes most law enforcement records available to the public. Arrest records in Hendricks County are public unless they fall under a narrow exception. Active investigation records may be temporarily withheld. Juvenile arrest records are sealed. But for adult arrests, the name, charge, booking date, and agency are all disclosable.

You can submit a formal records request to the Hendricks County Sheriff's Office in writing. The agency must respond within a reasonable time. Copies may come with a small per-page fee.

Statewide Tools for Hendricks County Arrest Searches

Several Indiana-wide systems supplement the county's own tools. The IDOC Offender Search at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov covers people in state prison or under DOC supervision. If someone arrested in Hendricks County was sentenced to a term in the Department of Correction, they appear there. The search is free and uses name-based lookup.

VINE at vinelink.com lets you track custody status changes for anyone held in the Hendricks County Jail. Call 1-866-959-8463 anytime or register online.

Expungement of Hendricks County Arrest Records

Indiana's expungement statute at IC 35-38-8 allows people to seek the sealing of certain arrest records. If a Hendricks County arrest resulted in no charges being filed, or if the case was dismissed, expungement may be available. Acquittals also qualify. For certain misdemeanor convictions, people may petition after eight years from sentencing. Once expunged, the record no longer appears in public searches.

Filing for expungement in Hendricks County means going through the circuit or superior court in Danville. There are filing fees and specific procedural requirements. An attorney can help you navigate the process. Legal aid organizations serving the Indianapolis metro area sometimes extend services to Hendricks County residents who meet income guidelines. Check with Indiana Legal Services for eligibility.

Note: Expungement removes a record from public view but does not erase it for law enforcement purposes.
