Check recent bookings

Submit a Sheriff records request for the arrest report; if charges were filed, search the county criminal clerk for case details.
Hamilton County arrest record basics
Where do DUI/DWI arrests appear?
They appear in the same inmate lookup and booking logs; for the narrative arrest report, use Sheriff records access, and check the criminal clerk for court dates if a case was filed.
I can’t find someone in the inmate search—what next?
Check the booking log for very recent arrests, then request the arrest report from Sheriff records or search the criminal clerk if the person was released and charges were filed.
Can I get mugshots?
Mugshot availability depends on local policy; look on the booking or inmate pages first. For copies tied to an arrest, request what is releasable through Sheriff records.
