Boone County Criminal History Rights and Records

Anyone who is the subject of a Boone County Criminal History record has the right to see and challenge the content. Ark. Code § 12-12-1013 sets this rule. If a record shows an arrest or charge that is wrong, the subject can ask for the record to be fixed. The challenge process is covered in Ark. Code § 12-12-211 and in ACIC Regulation 7(F). The Arkansas State Police Identification Bureau runs the fingerprint based comparison at no extra cost if a subject disputes what is on the rap sheet.

If the prints do not match, the bureau reissues the report free of charge. This catches a common problem with name only lookups where two people share the same name and birth date. The match by print is the only way to rule out a false hit for sure. Local police and the Sheriff all feed prints into the state system. That flow is what ties Boone County data back into the central ACIC repository.

Sealing or Expunging a Boone County Criminal Record

Arkansas law at Ark. Code § 16-90-1401 et seq. sets up the Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act. A person can ask a court to seal or expunge an old case. Once sealed, the case drops off the public view of ARCH and off the Search ARCourts portal. The sealed file still exists but stays with the court and law enforcement only.

Eligibility turns on the type of offense, the time since the case closed, and whether all fines and costs have been paid. Some offenses can never be sealed under state law. The Sheriff may still see sealed records for official use. A lawyer or legal aid group can walk a person through the paper work.

Legal aid options for Boone County residents include the Center for Arkansas Legal Services at (501) 376-3423 and Legal Aid of Arkansas at (870) 972-9224. Both offer free help to people who qualify by income.

Levels 2, 3, and 4 are posted on the public site. Level 1 stays with law enforcement only. An address change must be reported 10 days ahead or 3 days in an emergency.
