Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, specifically IC 5-14-3-3, gives the public the right to access jail intake records from Warrick County.

If a request is denied, you can appeal to the Indiana Office of the Public Access Counselor for a free review.

A Warrick County booking record shows the person's full name, date of birth, charges listed at intake, booking date and time, a booking number, and physical details. Some records include a mugshot.

Warrick County and the Evansville Metro Area

People arrested in Warrick County go to the Warrick County Jail in Boonville, not to Vanderburgh County. The jail systems are separate. If you are not sure which county an arrest occurred in, it helps to know where the arrest was made -- that determines which county jail holds the record.

Warrick County has grown substantially in recent decades as people have moved into the Evansville suburbs.
