Are Arrest Records Public in Scott County

Arrest records in Scott County are public records under Indiana law. Pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, codified at Ind. Code § 5-14-3-3, members of the public have the right to inspect and copy records created and maintained by public agencies, including law enforcement agencies. Arrest records fall within the category of disclosable public records because they document the exercise of governmental authority.

Arrest records are made available to the public for several recognized purposes:

  • Government transparency and accountability in law enforcement
  • Public safety awareness within the community
  • Journalism and investigative reporting
  • Academic and policy research
  • Background screening by employers and licensing agencies
  • Use in civil and criminal legal proceedings

What Arrest Information Is Public:

  • Arrestee name and known aliases
  • Date and time of arrest
  • Location of arrest
  • Arresting agency
  • Charges filed at the time of arrest
  • Booking number
  • Booking photograph (mugshot)
  • Bond and bail information
  • Current custody status
  • Basic demographic information including age and physical description

Limitations on Public Access:

Certain categories of arrest information are restricted from public disclosure under Indiana law:

  • Juvenile arrest records, which are confidential under Ind. Code § 31-39-1-2
  • Expunged arrest records, which are removed from public access following a court order
  • Sealed records subject to court-ordered confidentiality
  • Information pertaining to active criminal investigations
  • Identities of undercover officers and confidential informants
  • Victim identifying information in applicable cases
  • Information relating to participants in witness protection programs

Constitutional and Legal Basis:

Indiana's public records framework reflects a balance between governmental transparency and individual privacy. The Indiana Constitution and the Access to Public Records Act together establish the public's right to access records documenting official government action. First Amendment principles support press access to arrest information as a matter of public concern. Due process considerations inform the distinction between an arrest record and a record of conviction, as an arrest does not constitute a finding of guilt.

Who Can Access Arrest Records:

  • Members of the general public
  • Media organizations and journalists
  • Employers, subject to restrictions under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
  • Landlords, subject to applicable housing discrimination laws
  • Professional licensing agencies
  • Background check companies operating under FCRA compliance
  • Attorneys and legal professionals
  • Academic researchers

Restrictions on Use:

The FCRA governs the use of arrest records in employment and tenant screening contexts. Employers using third-party background check companies must comply with FCRA notice and authorization requirements. Indiana does not currently have a statewide "ban the box" law applicable to private employers, though certain municipalities may have adopted local ordinances. The distinction between an arrest and a conviction is legally significant; an arrest record does not establish criminal liability.

How To Delete Arrest Records in Scott County

Indiana law provides two primary mechanisms for removing or restricting public access to arrest records: expungement and sealing. Expungement results in the physical or electronic destruction of the record, while sealing restricts public access without destroying the underlying record. The applicable remedy depends on the nature of the arrest and its disposition.

Under Ind. Code § 35-38-9, Indiana's expungement statute, individuals may petition the court to expunge arrest records in the following circumstances:

  • Arrest with no conviction: An individual whose arrest did not result in a conviction may petition for expungement one year after the date of arrest, or earlier if the prosecutor consents.
  • Conviction of a misdemeanor or Class D/Level 6 felony: Eligible individuals may petition five years after the date of conviction, provided all terms of the sentence have been completed and no other criminal charges are pending.
  • Conviction of certain felonies: Eligibility and waiting periods vary based on the level of the offense and the sentence imposed. Serious violent felonies and sex offenses are not eligible for expungement.

The expungement process in Scott County requires the following steps:

  1. Determine eligibility based on the nature of the arrest or conviction and the applicable waiting period.
  2. Obtain the case number and relevant court records from the Scott County Clerk of Courts.
  3. File a Petition for Expungement in the Scott County Circuit Court or Scott Superior Court, depending on the court of original jurisdiction.
  4. Serve the petition on the Scott County Prosecutor's Office.
  5. Attend the expungement hearing if one is scheduled by the court.
  6. If the petition is granted, the court issues an order directing all relevant agencies to expunge or seal the record.

Scottsburg, IN 47170
Phone: (812) 752-8400
Scott County Sheriff's Office

2. Booking Process

Upon arrival at the Scott County Jail, the booking process is initiated. The process typically takes one to four hours depending on facility volume. Steps in the booking process include:

  • Recording of personal identification information
  • Advisement of Miranda rights if not previously given
  • Booking photograph (mugshot) taken
  • Fingerprints collected and submitted to state and federal databases
  • Criminal history and outstanding warrant check
  • Personal property inventoried and secured
  • Issuance of jail clothing
  • Medical screening
  • Brief mental health screening
  • Housing classification assignment

3. First Appearance/Initial Hearing

Under Indiana law, an arrested individual must be brought before a judicial officer for an initial hearing within 48 hours of arrest. The initial hearing serves the following purposes:

  • Formal notification of the charges
  • Determination of bond or bail
  • Appointment of the public defender for indigent defendants
  • Advisement of constitutional rights

Initial hearings in Scott County are conducted at the Scott County Circuit Court or Scott Superior Court and may be held via video conference from the jail facility.

Bond/Bail Process:

Types of Bond:

Cash Bond: Cash bond requires the full bond amount to be paid in cash or by certified funds. The amount is refunded at the conclusion of the case, minus applicable court costs and fees. Bond amounts are set by the presiding judge or magistrate according to the Indiana bail schedule and the specific circumstances of the case.

Surety Bond: A surety bond is posted through a licensed bail bondsman. The defendant or a family member pays a non-refundable premium, typically 10% of the total bond amount, and the bondsman posts the full amount with the court.

Personal Recognizance (PR Bond): A personal recognizance bond releases the defendant on a written promise to appear at all future court dates without requiring a monetary deposit. Eligibility is based on community ties, employment status, criminal history, the nature of the charges, and an assessment of flight risk.

No Bond: A court may order that no bond be set in cases involving serious violent offenses, a demonstrated flight risk, danger to the community, a violation of probation or parole, an immigration hold, or an active out-of-state warrant.

Conditions of Release:

Conditions of release may include regular check-in requirements with pretrial services, travel restrictions, no-contact orders, drug and alcohol testing, GPS monitoring, and pretrial supervision.

4. Release or Continued Detention

If Bond Posted: Processing time following bond payment is typically one to eight hours. Upon release, the defendant receives a written notice of all upcoming court dates and a copy of the conditions of release. Failure to appear results in bond forfeiture and issuance of an arrest warrant.

If Bond Not Posted: Individuals who remain in custody are assigned to a housing unit within the Scott County Jail, receive an orientation to jail rules and procedures, and are provided information regarding commissary accounts, phone privileges, and visitation schedules.

Attorney visits at the Scott County Jail are conducted in designated confidential consultation areas.

Charging Decision:

Prosecutor's Review:

The Scott County Prosecutor's Office reviews the arrest and determines whether to file formal charges. The prosecutor may file an Information, request additional investigation, decline to prosecute, or file charges different from those listed at booking. This review typically occurs within days to a few weeks of the arrest.

Arraignment:

At arraignment, the defendant is formally advised of the charges and enters an initial plea. The majority of defendants enter a not guilty plea at arraignment, preserving all pretrial rights. Subsequent court dates are set at this hearing.

Court Process Overview:

Pretrial Phase:

The pretrial phase includes discovery, during which the prosecution and defense exchange evidence including police reports, witness statements, physical evidence, and audio and video recordings. Pretrial motions may be filed to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or address other legal issues. Pretrial conferences are held to discuss case resolution and trial readiness.

Plea negotiations may result in a plea agreement under which the defendant agrees to plead guilty or no contest to specified charges in exchange for a recommended sentence or reduced charges.

Case Resolution Options:

  • Dismissal: Charges are dropped due to insufficient evidence, witness unavailability, or legal defects in the case. A dismissal may make the defendant eligible for expungement.
  • Diversion Programs: Eligible defendants may participate in pretrial diversion, drug court, mental health court, or veterans court. Successful completion results in dismissal of charges.
  • Plea Agreement: The defendant accepts a negotiated resolution, waiving the right to trial. A sentencing hearing is scheduled.
  • Trial: The defendant exercises the right to a jury trial or bench trial. The prosecution and defense present their respective cases, and a verdict is returned.

Sentencing (if convicted):

Upon conviction, the court imposes a sentence that may include incarceration, probation, fines and court costs, restitution to victims, community service, substance abuse treatment, or a combination of these. Credit is applied for time served in pretrial detention. The defendant is advised of appeal rights at sentencing.

How Long Are Arrest Records Kept in Scott County?

Records Retention Overview:

Retention of arrest records in Scott County is governed by Indiana law and the records retention schedules established by the Indiana Commission on Public Records. Agencies are required to maintain records for the periods specified in the applicable retention schedule and may not destroy records prior to the expiration of the retention period without authorization.

Arrest Records Retention by Type:

Active Arrest Records (Conviction Resulted):

Felony Convictions: Arrest records associated with felony convictions are retained permanently by the Scott County Sheriff's Office, the Clerk of Courts, the Indiana State Police criminal history repository, and the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC). These records are maintained indefinitely and appear on background checks without a time limitation.

Misdemeanor Convictions: Arrest records associated with misdemeanor convictions are retained permanently in court records and in the Indiana State Police criminal history repository. Local law enforcement records are retained according to the applicable retention schedule, which may specify a minimum retention period of several years.

Arrest Records (No Conviction):

Dismissed Charges: Arrest records for cases resulting in dismissal remain in local law enforcement databases and court records unless the subject obtains an expungement order. The Indiana State Police repository retains these records until notified of an expungement. Court records for dismissed cases are retained according to the court's records retention schedule.

Acquittals: Records of arrests resulting in a not guilty verdict at trial are retained in court records, which are often maintained permanently in electronic form. Local law enforcement records are retained per the applicable schedule. These records may be eligible for expungement under Indiana law.

Charges Not Filed: Booking records for arrests where the prosecutor declined to file charges are retained by the Sheriff's Office for a period specified in the retention schedule. These arrests are among the most readily eligible for expungement, and in some cases a petition may be filed immediately.

Digital vs. Physical Records:

Physical Records: Booking paperwork, fingerprint cards, and booking photographs are retained for the periods specified in the Indiana Commission on Public Records retention schedules. Physical evidence retention varies based on case outcome and the nature of the offense.

Digital Records: Computer-aided dispatch (CAD) records and records management system entries are retained according to agency policy and state retention schedules. Electronic court records are maintained permanently in most cases. Mugshot databases maintained by third-party commercial entities are not subject to state retention schedules and may retain records indefinitely.

Retention by Agency:

Sheriff's Office:
Scott County Sheriff's Office
95 E Wardell St
Scottsburg, IN 47170
Phone: (812) 752-8400
Scott County Sheriff's Office

Booking records and arrest reports are retained per the Indiana Commission on Public Records schedule. Investigative files are retained based on the nature and disposition of the case.

Clerk of Court:
Scott County Clerk of Courts
1 E McClain Ave, Suite 130
Scottsburg, IN 47170
Phone: (812) 752-8420
Scott County Clerk of Courts

Felony case files are retained permanently. Misdemeanor case files are retained for a minimum period specified in the retention schedule. Electronic records are maintained permanently in most instances.

State Repository:

The Indiana State Police maintains the statewide criminal history repository, which includes arrest records from all law enforcement agencies in Indiana. Members of the public may access this repository through the Indiana State Police Limited Criminal History Search. The repository retains records until an expungement order is received from the court of jurisdiction.

FBI Database:

The FBI's NCIC and Interstate Identification Index (III) retain arrest records submitted by Indiana law enforcement agencies. Federal retention is permanent for most record types. These databases are accessible to law enforcement agencies nationwide and are used in employment background checks for positions requiring federal clearance and in firearms purchase background checks.

Effect of Disposition on Retention:

Conviction: Records associated with a conviction are retained permanently in all major databases and appear on background checks without a time limitation under federal law.

Dismissal: Records of dismissed charges may remain in databases unless expunged. Many background check companies do not report dismissed charges, but the underlying records remain in law enforcement systems until expunged.

Expungement: Following the entry of an expungement order, local law enforcement agencies and the Indiana State Police are directed to seal or destroy the records as specified in the order. The FBI database may retain a notation of the expungement. The timeframe for removal from all systems varies; the Indiana State Police updates its repository upon receipt of the court order.

No Charges Filed: Booking records for arrests where no charges were filed have the shortest standard retention period and may be purged automatically after the applicable retention period expires. Individuals may also petition for immediate expungement in appropriate cases.

Accessing Historical Arrest Records:

Recent arrest records are available online through the resources described in this article and are updated on a regular basis. Older records may require an in-person request at the Sheriff's Office or Clerk of Courts and may be subject to a retrieval fee if the records are stored in archives. Records that predate the digitization of agency systems may exist only in paper form and may require additional processing time to locate and reproduce.

Destruction of Records:

Authorized destruction of records occurs after the applicable retention period expires, following a court order for expungement, or pursuant to the records retention schedule approved by the Indiana Commission on Public Records. Documentation of destruction is maintained by the agency. Records subject to permanent retention, including those associated with felony convictions, serious violent offenses, and sex offenses, may not be destroyed.

Impact on Background Checks:

Under the FCRA, most employment background checks cover a seven-year period for non-conviction records. Convictions may be reported indefinitely. Indiana does not currently impose a statewide restriction on the reporting period for convictions. Expunged records are not required to be disclosed by the subject on most employment applications, though law enforcement agencies and certain licensing bodies retain access to sealed records.

How to Check Retention Status:

Members of the public seeking information about the retention status of a specific arrest record may contact the Scott County Sheriff's Records Division at (812) 752-8400 or submit a written public records request to the Sheriff's Office. The Indiana Judicial Branch public records page provides additional guidance on how to request court records and understand retention policies applicable to court filings.
