Vanderburgh County arrest records: what an arrest record is, and what it is not. Three records, made by three different people at three points in a case.
The booking at Vanderburgh County Jail
Made by the jail when a person is taken into custody in Vanderburgh County. It records the date and the charges the arresting officer wrote down. This is the arrest record, and it is the whole of what an arrest proves.
Filed in the Circuit and Superior Courts
Made by a prosecutor, who decides what to charge, reduces it, or declines to file. A felony goes to the Circuit and Superior Courts, which hears misdemeanors too. The charge filed often differs from the charge at booking.
The disposition in the court file
Made by the court and kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court: conviction, dismissal, acquittal or diversion. Only this record speaks to guilt. Indiana court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record attaches to a person at the moment of accusation and often never detaches, including when the accusation went nowhere. Reading a Vanderburgh County booking as a conviction is the most common misreading of this data, and it follows real people around. The guide to arrest records covers the three claims in full; this page applies them to Vanderburgh County.
· shares are over the arrest records we index for this county; approximate, not an official figure
Vanderburgh County, IN arrest records by charge type. About 3,300 records read as a whole, never one by one; approximate, not an official figure.
Among the Vanderburgh County arrest records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is theft, larceny and stolen property (24%), followed by probation/parole violations and failure to appear (20%) and domestic violence (14%). An arrest can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%, and a charge at booking is not the charge that was filed. The categories are our grouping of the charge text each source publishes; criminal charge types explains each one.
Photos. About 38% of the Vanderburgh County booking records we index carry a photo on the official roster. This page shows none.
Every figure is a share of the records we index for Vanderburgh County, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The Indiana criminal records page carries the statewide picture.
Vanderburgh County warrants: no published warrant list in the search.
No published Vanderburgh County or Indiana warrant list is part of our search. A warrant is a different claim from an arrest: it says a court has ordered that a person be brought in, not that they were. To check for one in Vanderburgh County, ask the sheriff’s office or the Clerk of the Circuit Court.
Not every local warrant reaches a published list. A search that finds nothing is not proof that no warrant exists; to be certain, ask the Vanderburgh County sheriff’s office or the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The warrant search page explains what a published warrant does and does not say.
Vanderburgh County mugshots: booking photos in the arrest records.
A booking photo is taken at the Vanderburgh County Jail when someone is booked. Where Vanderburgh County publishes it, it appears on the official roster at vanderburghsheriff.org, usually only while the person is held. About 38% of the Vanderburgh County booking records we index carry one (approximate, not an official figure). This page shows no photographs, and a search result here does not either.
OffenderSearch never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, no law requires anyone to pay a website to take one down, and several states restrict sites that charge for it.
Arrests in Vanderburgh County this week: what the records can and cannot tell you.
People search for “Vanderburgh County arrests this week” expecting a list. There is no list here, by rule: this site never publishes a running list of names, and a booking is not news about a person. What a search does give you is the records we index for one person, each with its booking date, so the question “was this person arrested recently?” has an answer when the jail published it.
Counts of how many people were booked in Vanderburgh County in a given week are not stated on this page. What we hold is a set of records as sources publish them, which is approximate and not an official tally; the sheriff’s office is the only source of an official count.
