Warrick County Sheriff's Office Booking Records

The Warrick County Sheriff's Office handles all arrests and bookings at its facility in Boonville. The jail is at 100 SW 3rd St, Boonville, IN 47601. You can reach the office at 812-897-6180. The jail runs 24 hours a day and accepts new bookings at any time. When someone is arrested and brought in, staff collect fingerprints, photographs, and personal identification to create the booking record.

Under IC 36-2-13-5, Indiana county sheriffs are required to maintain records of all persons booked into the county jail. These records include the name and date of birth, the charges, the arresting officer, and the booking date and time. Bond amounts are recorded once the court sets them. Indiana law treats these as public records, so anyone can request or access them through the tools below.

The Warrick County Sheriff's website at warrickcountysheriff.com is the primary source for sheriff contact details, jail information, and department announcements covering arrests in Boonville and across the county.

Search Warrick County Arrests Online

The statewide INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov is the primary free tool for searching current Warrick County inmate records. This system pulls custody data from participating county jails and lets you search by name. Results show who is currently held in the Warrick County jail, along with the charges and booking date. Data updates as new bookings are entered at the Boonville facility.

If a recent arrest does not appear in INjail or the results seem out of date, calling the jail at 812-897-6180 is the fastest way to verify custody. Staff can confirm whether a specific person is in the facility in real time. The Warrick County Sheriff's Office website at warrickcountysheriff.com may also offer additional resources or links to inmate-related tools that the office publishes directly.

Arrests in Warrick County may be made by the county sheriff, Boonville Police Department, Newburgh Police Department, or Indiana State Police troopers assigned to the area. All persons arrested in Warrick County are booked at the single county jail in Boonville.

Warrick County Court Records on MyCase

After someone is arrested and charged in Warrick County, their case is filed in Warrick Circuit Court or one of the Superior Courts in Boonville. Those case records appear on Indiana Courts MyCase at public.courts.in.gov/mycase. MyCase is free, requires no login, and lets you search by name, case number, or date of birth. You can see the charges, court dates, case status, and the assigned judge.

MyCase covers all Indiana counties including Warrick and shows criminal filings from Boonville courts, usually appearing within a day or two of the initial court hearing.

MyCase handles court records, not jail roster data. Use INjail or call the sheriff's office for current custody information. Use MyCase when you need the court case history tied to an arrest.

What Warrick County Arrest Records Include

Indiana's public disclosure law at IC 5-14-3-5 requires agencies to disclose specific arrest record information. This includes 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. Warrick County follows this rule. These items are public even if charges are later dismissed or the case is resolved without a conviction.

Booking records in Warrick County often include more than the legal minimum. Common additional fields include the booking number, bond amount and type, a physical description, and housing unit assignment within the jail. Mugshots may be available through a formal public records request. Once a case proceeds to court, MyCase adds filings, plea data, hearing outcomes, and sentencing records. Keep in mind that an arrest is not a conviction. Every person booked into the Warrick County jail is presumed innocent until found guilty by a court of law.

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 statewide, including Warrick County. LCH is a court-disposition database, not a current jail roster. It shows a person's full Indiana criminal history, not just recent Boonville bookings. There is a fee for each search.

LCH is most useful for comprehensive background checks across multiple Indiana counties. For live Warrick County booking data, INjail and a direct call to the jail are faster and free. LCH will not show arrests that did not result in a charge or court disposition.

Public Records Requests in Warrick 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 Warrick County Sheriff's Office are public. You can ask to see them in person or submit a written request to 100 SW 3rd St, Boonville, IN 47601. Calling 812-897-6180 first is a good way to find the right contact and confirm the request process.

Copies may come with a reproduction fee. Records tied to active investigations or involving juveniles may have portions withheld. Police incident reports can sometimes be delayed while a case is pending. For court records, MyCase is faster and does not require a formal request. For full incident reports, arrest photos, or supplemental reports, a written request to the relevant agency is the standard path.

Expungement of Warrick County Arrest Records

Indiana's expungement statute at IC 35-38-8 lets eligible individuals petition a court to seal older arrest and conviction records. In Warrick County, petitions are filed in Warrick Circuit Court or Superior Court in Boonville. Eligibility depends on the charge type, time elapsed since the conviction or arrest, and whether any other criminal matters are pending.

Arrests that did not lead to a conviction may qualify for sealing sooner than those with a guilty finding. Once granted, the sealed record is removed from most public searches and restricted in most background check systems. You must file the petition, pay the filing fee, and attend a hearing. The clerk's office in Boonville can provide the current fee schedule and court dates. A local attorney can review your situation and help you determine whether you qualify and what to expect in Warrick County courts.
