Pike County Arrest Records

In Pike County, Alabama, arrests occur when law enforcement officers directly witness criminal activity, secure arrest warrants, or when prosecutors file criminal indictments in the county courts. Regardless of the method of arrest, officers gather detailed information about the individuals taken into custody. These records, known as Pike County arrest records, document key details about the arrest and the alleged offense.

Arrest records in Pike County are typically managed by the arresting agencies, such as the Pike County Sheriff's Office or local police departments. Additionally, information related to the legal proceedings after an arrest, such as indictments, arraignments, and hearings, is recorded in Pike County court records. Residents may contact the relevant courts for detailed case information or updates.

Yes, arrest records in Pike County are generally accessible to the public. Under the Alabama Public Records Law, public entities, including law enforcement agencies, are required to provide access to public records upon request. Furthermore, Rule 9.3(b) of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure allows access to court records, including those containing arrest information.

However, specific exceptions limit the accessibility of certain records. Restricted records include:

Find Pike County Arrest Records

Individuals seeking to access arrest records in Pike County, Alabama, can contact the relevant law enforcement agencies. These agencies maintain records of arrests within their respective jurisdictions and are the primary custodians of such records.

The Pike County Sheriff's Office oversees arrests made throughout the county and manages the Pike County Jail, where individuals arrested are detained pending court appearances. The Sheriff's Office is the primary point of contact for arrest records within the county's unincorporated areas.

Arrests made within city boundaries fall under the jurisdiction of city police departments. For example, individuals arrested in Troy, Alabama, are under the jurisdiction of the Troy Police Department, which maintains its own records.

On the other hand, arrests executed by federal agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) may require contacting those agencies directly. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) offers an online Federal Inmate Search tool for locating federally detained individuals.

Additionally, records of inmates serving time for state-level convictions can be obtained from the Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC). The ADOC maintains a searchable online database for locating inmates within state prisons. However, this database only includes individuals who have been convicted, not those awaiting trial.

Troy, AL 36081
Phone: (334) 566-4347

Free Arrest Record Search in Pike County

Under Ala. Code § 36-12-40, certain public records, including arrest records, are accessible to the public. While some records can be inspected free of charge at law enforcement agencies, fees may apply for copies or certified records.

Free access to arrest information may also be available through private vendors that aggregate public data online. However, these third-party sources may not always have the most accurate or up-to-date information as they are not directly affiliated with official agencies.

How Long Do Arrests Stay on Your Record?

In Alabama, arrest records remain on file indefinitely unless expunged—expungement, governed by Ala. Code § 15-27-1 allows eligible individuals to petition for the removal of arrest records from public access. Typically, expungement is only available for specific cases, such as charges that were dismissed, not prosecuted, or resulted in an acquittal. Even when expunged, law enforcement and other authorized entities may still access the records for investigations or employment-related background checks.

Expunge Pike County Arrest Records

Expungement restricts public access to specific arrest or criminal records but does not permanently erase them. These records remain accessible to criminal justice agencies for purposes authorized by state law, such as ongoing investigations or security clearances.

Eligibility for expungement in Pike County is determined by state law. Individuals who may file for expungement include:

  • Former arrestees without convictions
  • Defendants who have completed a pretrial program
  • Defendants with dismissed charges
  • Individuals who were found not guilty
  • Victims of human trafficking

Expungement can be requested three years after the completion of all sentencing terms, including fines, parole, and probation. Applicants will be required to provide the following when filing a Petition for Expungement:

  • Certified arrest records
  • Certified court records
  • Sworn Statement Under Penalty of Perjury: This document must confirm eligibility for expungement and include any prior expungement filings or orders.
  • Certified Criminal History Record

Petitioners must complete and submit the Petition for Expungement of Records along with the required documents to the Pike County Circuit Court. The petition should specify the charges to be expunged, the arresting agency, and the detention facility involved. After filing, petitioners must serve copies of the petition to the Pike County District Attorney and the arresting agency.

Pike County Arrest Warrants

Arrest warrants in Pike County are judicial orders issued under Alabama Code § 15-10-3, authorizing law enforcement to detain individuals suspected of criminal activity. Officers typically request warrants by presenting probable cause to a judge or magistrate. Warrants may also be issued for failing to comply with court orders, including missed appearances, unpaid child support, or unfulfilled community service obligations.

Residents can view details of Pike County arrest warrants by visiting the Pike County Circuit Clerk, which provides court records, including warrant filings, or the Pike County Sheriff's Office, which maintains arrest records and warrant information.

Do Pike County Arrest Warrants Expire?

No, arrest warrants in Pike County remain active indefinitely until the named individual is apprehended, surrenders, or the court quashes the warrant. A judge may dismiss a warrant if evidence proves the accused's innocence or after compliance with related legal obligations.
