Pulaski County recent arrests are public records held by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and searchable through Indiana's statewide INjail portal.

Pulaski County Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Pulaski County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail in Winamac and handles all bookings for arrests in the county. The office can be reached at 574-946-2345. The jail is at 112 E Main St, Winamac, IN 46996. When someone is arrested in Pulaski County, a booking record is created that captures the full name, date of birth, arrest date and time, charges, arresting agency, and bond status.

Pulaski County is one of Indiana's smaller counties by population. The sheriff's road patrol covers most of the county's rural area, and arrests made by the Winamac town police and Indiana State Police are also booked at the county jail. That makes the sheriff's booking log the most complete local source for Pulaski County recent arrest records.

The Pulaski County government page at pulaskicounty.in.gov provides county agency contacts and general information about the sheriff's office, courthouse, and local services in Winamac.

Visit the county site for office hours, mailing addresses, and contact details for the sheriff, clerk, and other agencies involved in maintaining Pulaski County arrest records.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, the county sheriff is required to keep accurate records of who is in custody. Those records are available to the public on request and through online tools when the county participates in statewide data-sharing systems.

INjail Multicounty Inmate Search

The Indiana statewide jail portal at public.indianajail.gov includes Pulaski County in its inmate search. You can look up a person by name and check Pulaski County data alongside results from other participating Indiana jails. This is useful when you are not sure which county a person may be in, or when you want to check several nearby county jails at once.

INjail is maintained by the Indiana Sheriff's Association. The portal is updated as counties push new data. New bookings may take a few hours to appear after an arrest is processed at the Pulaski County Jail. For very recent arrests, a direct call to 574-946-2345 is the fastest way to confirm custody status.

The portal is free and available at any hour. It shows name, booking date, charges, and bond information where available. If results are unclear or a person does not appear despite an expected custody status, call the jail directly.

What Arrest Records Contain in Pulaski County

A Pulaski County booking record typically includes the defendant's full legal name and date of birth, the date and time of the arrest, specific charges listed by statute, the arresting agency, and bond information showing type and amount. Physical description data such as height and weight is often recorded at booking as well.

Under IC 5-14-3-5, law enforcement agencies can restrict parts of a record that relate to active investigations, confidential sources, or juvenile matters. For most adult arrests in Pulaski County, however, the core booking information is public and can be requested by anyone. An arrest record shows that someone was taken into custody on specific charges, not that they were convicted of those charges.

MyCase Court Records for Pulaski County

Once charges are filed after a Pulaski County arrest, the case moves to Pulaski Circuit Court or Pulaski Superior Court in Winamac. Both courts feed records into Indiana's statewide case management system, which is searchable for free at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. Search by the defendant's name or case number to find criminal filings, scheduled hearings, and case outcomes.

The MyCase court records search portal at public.courts.in.gov/mycase covers Pulaski County cases from initial filing through final disposition, available free to the public.

MyCase is the go-to tool for tracking how a Pulaski County arrest moved through the court system after booking, accessible at any hour without cost.

Most new criminal cases in Pulaski County appear in MyCase within a few business days of the initial filing. Records include case type, status, attorney of record, and public documents. Under IC 5-14-3-4, juvenile and sealed files are not accessible through the public portal, but standard adult criminal data is generally available.

Indiana State Police Criminal History

The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History tool at in.gov/ai/appfiles/isp-lch2/index.html offers statewide arrest records beyond the Pulaski County jail roster. Results include arrest dates, counties, charges, and dispositions where available. Some full record views require a small fee.

The ISP database draws from law enforcement records across the entire state. If you need a complete picture of someone's arrest history in Indiana, not just the most recent Pulaski County booking, this tool can provide that broader view in one search.

If online tools do not return what you need, Indiana's Access to Public Records Act under IC 5-14-3-3 lets you submit a formal records request. Send it to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office at 112 E Main St, Winamac, IN 46996 by mail, email, or in person. Agencies must respond within 24 hours and fulfill the request within seven days in most cases.

VINE Custody Notifications

VINE at vinelink.com or 1-866-959-VINE lets you register to receive automatic alerts when someone's custody status changes at the Pulaski County Jail. Alerts go by phone, text, or email when the person is released, transferred, or has a custody event. Registration is free.

In a small county like Pulaski, the jail population is low and custody changes can happen quickly. A bond hearing can lead to release within hours of arrest. VINE removes the guesswork and eliminates the need to call the jail repeatedly. The service is tied directly to the county's real-time custody data and available at all hours.

If someone is transferred from the Pulaski County Jail to an Indiana Department of Correction facility, VINE will notify you of that change as well. You can also search IDOC records at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov.

Public Records Requests and APRA

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, grounded in IC 5-14-3-3, gives the public the right to request government records. For Pulaski County arrest documents not available through online tools, submit a request to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office at the Winamac address. The Pulaski County Clerk at the courthouse handles court record requests. Most adult arrest records are releasable once any active investigation is closed.

Requests can go in by mail, email, or in person. Agencies must acknowledge your request within 24 hours and respond in full within seven days in most cases. Fees may apply for copying or digital delivery. If records are withheld, the agency must state a legal reason under Indiana law.

Expungement in Pulaski County

Indiana Code IC 35-38-8 allows certain arrest records to be sealed or expunged. If a Pulaski County arrest did not result in a conviction, the person may be eligible to petition the Pulaski Circuit or Superior Court to have the arrest sealed from most public searches. A successful expungement removes the record from INjail and MyCase results.

For convictions, eligibility depends on the charge class, sentence received, and time elapsed since sentencing. Misdemeanors and some lower-level felonies qualify after waiting periods. Serious violent felonies are generally excluded. A local attorney can review a specific case and advise on whether expungement is viable under current Indiana law. Even after expungement, law enforcement retains internal copies.
