Did your date crash the jail during Daytona 500 week? Check, plus explore other Florida county jail guests and arrests
The Daytona 500 is a big-deal national event, and it's especially memorable for rowdy event goers who got arrested.
The best background check from last week won't tell you about someone's latest local arrest from last night. But county jail booking and arrest databases often can.
Was your date among them? Check here to check on recent Volusia County arrests. But what about arrests in other counties during the rest of the year?
These resources are some of the best you can know in Florida for inspecting your date or a possible date. Particularly helpful is their timeliness. People who might have stayed out of trouble before you met might be in a heap of it now in facing recent criminal charges. Or these resources can tip you off in some cases to turbulent, violent or stupid arrests from the past.
Some of the details you can expect to find from participating sheriff's offices include:
- full name
- age or date of birth
- general address (although not always)
- charges involved
- a mug shot in some cases
- date, time and place of arrest
- and bond amounts and release dates
The range of information provided may vary depending on the sheriff's office. For instance, some counties allow your to see arrests going years back, others only for the last 24 hours. Some sheriff's offices offer their details on a 12-hour or other delay. And some smaller counties do not offer the ability to look up current or past inmates on their websites. Some offices that don't, however, may work with the private Vinelink organization to provide record of recent arrests. Vinelink strives to provide the free ability to search for prisoners in county jails and prisons throughout the nation.
Keep in mind that an arrest isn't the same thing as a conviction. Charges can get dropped, reduced or expanded from the time of an arrest. Check the InspectaDate criminal records links from providing circuit court clerk's offices to learn more about case dispostions and what ultimately resulted from an arrest. That information might not be available immediately in the most recent of cases.
Explore the InspectDate Florida Sheriff's Office pages for more ways to look into someone's recent arrests and criminal history.
