Louisiana arrests by charge type: the statewide booking picture. About 156,000 records across Louisiana, read as a whole; approximate, not an official figure.
Among the Louisiana arrest records we index that state a charge, the most common category of categorised charges is probation/parole violations and failure to appear (35%), followed by drug possession (18%) and public order, trespass and property damage (15%). A record can carry charges in several categories, so the shares of categorised charges can add to more than 100%.
How recent. About 3% of the records show activity in the last 12 months, among the 76% that carry a date.
Every figure is a share of the records we index for Louisiana, rounded; approximate, not an official figure. Cells with too few records behind them are left out rather than shown as zero. The county pages carry the same picture for each parish where enough records exist; criminal charge types explains the categories.
Louisiana warrant search and arrest record outcomes.
Louisiana publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it alongside the county bookings. Louisiana's statewide court source is in the search too, so an arrest result can be read next to how the case ended.
An arrest is not a conviction. The guide to arrest records explains the three records a case leaves behind, and the warrant search what a published warrant does and does not say.

Louisiana arrest records FAQ
How do I look up Louisiana arrest records by county?
Pick the county below and search the name. Each county page reaches that county's jail bookings, Louisiana's statewide warrant system and Louisiana's statewide court source, and labels each result by record type. 7 parishes have a page.
Does Louisiana publish a statewide warrant list?
Yes. Louisiana publishes a statewide warrant system and a name search here includes it. Not every local warrant reaches it, so to be certain, ask the county sheriff's office or the Clerk of Court.
Is an arrest in Louisiana a conviction?
No. An arrest record says a person was booked on a date on the charges recorded at booking. Whether a charge was filed, reduced, dismissed or ended in a conviction is decided in the District Court or the District Court or a parish or city court, and only the court record shows that.
Does OffenderSearch show Louisiana mugshots?
No. The county pages show no booking photos and OffenderSearch never charges to remove one. Where a county publishes a photo it is on the sheriff's official roster.
Can Louisiana arrest records be used for hiring or renting?
Not from here. A search on this site is not a consumer report; employers and landlords need an FCRA-regulated report with the person's written consent, and many states limit how an arrest without a conviction may be used.
