Rockingham County jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections. 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.

Booking at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections
Shows that someone was arrested in Rockingham County and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Rockingham County Department of Corrections roster.
Filed in the Superior Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the Superior Court; a misdemeanor to the Circuit Court, District Division. 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 court clerk. With no statewide court source in the search, confirm it with the clerk.
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.

A booking photo is taken at the Rockingham County Department of Corrections when someone is booked. Where Rockingham County publishes it, it appears on the official roster, usually only while the person is held.
