Larimer County jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Larimer County Jail. It is an arrest-stage record: it says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It never says the person was convicted.
Most official rosters list only the people held now, so an entry usually comes down after release. Larimer County’s roster at larimer.gov is the place to confirm current custody.

Booking at the Larimer County Jail
Shows that someone was arrested in Larimer County and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Larimer County Jail roster.
Filed in the District Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the District Court; a misdemeanor to the County Court. The charge filed can differ from the charge at booking.
Disposition in the court file
Conviction, dismissal or acquittal is in the court record, kept by the clerk of the combined courts. Colorado court records in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record alone never proves a crime. Read the guide to arrest records for how bookings, charges and dispositions differ, and why a dismissed charge can still appear.

Larimer County warrant search: Colorado warrant lookup.
Colorado publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it, so a warrant entered there for someone in Larimer County shows with the person’s other records. 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 Larimer County sheriff’s office or the clerk of the combined courts.
Larimer County mugshots: where booking photos are published.
A booking photo is taken at the Larimer County Jail when someone is booked. Where Larimer County publishes it, it appears on the official roster at larimer.gov, usually only while the person is held.
OffenderSearch does not show or sell booking photos, and never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, and several states restrict sites that charge to take one down.
