Find Warren County Arrest Records

Warren County Sheriff's Office Booking Records

The Warren County Sheriff's Office handles all arrests and bookings at its facility in Williamsport. The jail is at 29 E 2nd St, Williamsport, IN 47993. You can reach the office at 765-762-3312.

When someone is brought into custody, staff collect fingerprints, photographs, and identifying information to create the booking record.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, county sheriffs in Indiana must maintain records of every person booked into the county jail. These records include the name and date of birth of the person arrested, the charges, the arresting officer, and the booking date and time. Bond amounts are added once the court sets them. Indiana law makes these records public, so anyone can request or access them through the tools listed here.

The Warren County Sheriff's Office website provides contact information, department resources, and links to public record tools for arrests made in Williamsport and throughout the county.

Search Warren County Arrests Online

The statewide INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov is the primary free tool for checking current Warren County inmate records. This system pulls custody data from participating county jails across Indiana. You search by name and see who is currently held in the county jail, along with charges and booking dates. The portal updates as new bookings are entered.

Warren is one of Indiana's smaller counties, and the online roster may not update as quickly as those in larger counties. If a recent arrest does not appear in INjail, call the jail directly at 765-762-3312. Staff can confirm custody status for any person currently in the Williamsport facility during business hours, and the jail staff can often answer basic questions about inmate status around the clock.

The Warren County Sheriff's Office website at warrencountysheriff.org may also have department announcements or press releases covering notable arrests in the area. Check that site for any additional public-facing information the office makes available.

Warren County Court Records on MyCase

After someone is arrested and charged in Warren County, their criminal case is filed in Warren Circuit Court or Warren Superior Court in Williamsport. Those case records appear on Indiana Courts MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. The search is free and requires no account. You can look up cases by name, case number, or date of birth and see charges, court dates, and the assigned judge.

MyCase covers all 92 Indiana counties including Warren County and shows criminal filings from Williamsport courts, typically available within a day or two of the initial court appearance.

MyCase shows court filings, not current jail data. For custody status, use INjail or call the Warren County jail. For case history and court outcomes, MyCase is the better tool.

What Warren County Arrest Records Include

Indiana law under IC 5-14-3-5 spells out what agencies must disclose from arrest records. The required fields include the name, age, and address of the person arrested, the charge, the date, time, and location of the arrest, and the name and agency of the arresting officer. Warren County follows this rule. These items are public even if charges are later dropped or the case does not result in a conviction.

Booking records often include additional detail beyond the minimum required by law. This can include the booking number, bond amount and type, and a physical description. Mugshots may be available through a public records request. Once a case moves to court, MyCase adds filing dates, plea records, hearing results, and sentencing data. An arrest is only an accusation. Everyone booked into the Warren County jail is presumed innocent until a court finds otherwise.

Indiana State Police Criminal History Search

The Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History (LCH) search at the ISP criminal history portal covers felony arrests and Class A misdemeanor convictions across all Indiana counties, including Warren. LCH is separate from the current jail roster. It shows records that went through the court system and reflects a person's Indiana-wide criminal history. There is a fee to run each search.

LCH is best suited for broad background checks covering multiple counties. For real-time Warren County booking data, INjail and a call to the sheriff's office are faster and free. LCH will not show arrests that did not result in charges or a court disposition.

VINE Custody Notifications for Warren County

VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) tracks custody status at the Warren County jail and sends automatic alerts when someone is released or transferred. The service is free. You can register at VINELink or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463). You need the person's name or offender ID number to register. VINE sends alerts by call, text, or email based on your preference and runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Public Records Requests in Warren County

Under IC 5-14-3-3, any person has the right to inspect public records held by a government agency during regular business hours. Arrest records kept by the Warren County Sheriff's Office are public records. You can request them in person or submit a written request to 29 E 2nd St, Williamsport, IN 47993. Calling 765-762-3312 first can help you find the right contact and confirm the current request process.

Copies of records may come with a reproduction fee. Active investigation files and records involving juveniles may have portions withheld. For court records, MyCase is faster and does not require a formal request. For full incident reports or booking photos, a written request to the sheriff's office is the standard approach.

Expungement of Warren County Arrest Records

Indiana's expungement law at IC 35-38-8 allows eligible individuals to petition a court to seal older arrest and conviction records. In Warren County, petitions are filed in Warren Circuit Court in Williamsport. Eligibility depends on the charge type, how much time has passed, and whether any other criminal matters are pending.

Arrests that did not lead to a conviction often qualify for sealing sooner than those with a guilty finding. Once a court grants the petition, the sealed record is removed from most public searches and restricted in most background check systems. The process is not automatic. You must file the petition, attend a hearing, and pay the required court fee. The clerk's office in Williamsport can provide the current filing fee and scheduling information.
