Find Logan County Arrest Records

Law enforcement agencies are the primary keepers of arrest records, especially for recent arrestees who have not appeared before courts.

The Logan County Sheriff's Office is typically the first place to start when looking into arrest records in Logan County. The office allows individuals to submit requests for these records under the Open Records Act. Interested individuals are advised to provide as much information as possible to find their desired records. Those who want to obtain copies of documents will need to provide their addresses and phone numbers. Generally, written requests to the office can be sent by mail/email/fax or hand delivered to the following address:

Logan County Sheriff's Office
Attn: Records Custodian
100 North Owen Street
Russellville, KY 42276
Phone: (270) 726-2244
Fax: (270) 726-6145

The county's Detention Center is another department to approach for arrest information. The center maintains information about recently arrested inmates detained in the county jail. One can contact the center to inquire about arrestees or search its Current Inmates webpage, which shows each detainee's name, photograph, personal information (age, eye color, height, weight, etc.), charges, booking and arrest date, and bond information.

Additionally, members of the public can approach the Kentucky Department of Corrections for details about people serving time in a state prison. The Kentucky Offender Online Lookup tool allows anyone to search for state inmates by name. Results show each inmate’s personal data, photograph, offense of conviction and incarceration, crime date, conviction county, and indictment number, among others. Interested parties can also make open records requests to the DOC for more information about inmates or to order copies of official records. Requests can be submitted to:

Department of Corrections
Offender Information Services
Attn: Open Records Coordinator
P.O. Box 2400
Frankfort, KY 40602
Fax: (502) 564-9575

If a person were incarcerated after an arrest, their arrest offense may be different from their conviction charges, as prosecutors can review charges upwards or reduce offenses as part of plea agreements.

Finding federal arrestees involves contacting the federal arresting agency or searching the federal inmate locator tool operated by the Bureau of Prisons.

Free Arrest Record Search in Logan County

Using official online portals to find Logan County arrest records, such as the county detention center’s online inmate roster, is free.

Further, third-party public records aggregators publish arrest records collated from multiple law enforcement agencies on freely accessible websites. These records include arrestees' pictures, personal information, ages, alleged offenses, and locations. However, one must note that independent websites are not official sources and do not partner with government agencies, unless otherwise stated. Thus, they are not liable for incorrect data posted on their sites.

How Long Do Arrests Stay on Your Record?

It depends. Arrest records are permanent if a person was sentenced for a Class A, B, or C felony. Violent Class D felonies also stay on one's record perpetually. On the other hand, people who had their cases dismissed with prejudice or received acquittals after July 2020 may qualify for automatic expungement. Other individuals arrested, charged, or convicted who do not meet the preceding requirements will have their arrest records remain publicly accessible unless they receive an expungement.

Expunge Logan County Arrest Records

An expungement in Logan County removes a person's convictions, criminal charges, and arrests from various state and local criminal and court databases. That means background searches for these records will return negative results. However, not everyone qualifies for expungement.

Per KRS 431.076, individuals who received acquittals or had their charges dismissed with prejudice after July 2020 will have their records expunged automatically within 30 days. However, these persons can file a petition in the presiding court after 60 days if their records were not removed automatically. People charged with felonies in district courts without getting indicted after 6 months can file for expungement in the same district court. These eligible parties are not required to pay filing fees.

On the other hand, those who were convicted of misdemeanors can file for multiple expungements as long as they wait 5 years after completing each sentence. Sometimes, they may have to wait longer if a prosecutor applies an enhancement. People with eligible class D felony convictions can also apply to have their records expunged, but must confirm that their convictions qualify. Convicted persons are required by law to obtain certificates of eligibility, which will be part of the petitions submitted to courts.

Logan County Arrest Warrants

A Logan County arrest warrant is a court document that authorizes the arrest of any named person. A judge issues it, which contains the accused person's name and other identifying information, the alleged offense, the time and date of issuance, the county of issuance, bail amount where applicable, and the issuing authority's signature.

Do Logan County Arrest Warrants Expire?

No, Arrest warrants in Logan County remain active indefinitely unless a judge recalls the order due to new evidence or other facts that exonerate the defendant. Otherwise, the warrant follows its subject until the person is taken into custody.
