Seminole County Arrest Records

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office is responsible for arresting residents who break the laws of Oklahoma's Penal Code. Once arrested, the officers register their information at the Seminole County Correctional Facility and Probation. This information is what forms a Seminole County arrest record. It will contain the suspect's name, age, address and the crimes they were arrested for. If the individual is convicted of the charges in a criminal case, the arrest record will form part of Seminole County Court Records.

Typically, arrest records include the following details:

• The identifying information of the suspect: This contains the arrested person's name, age, and address and their mugshot.
• The physical characteristics of the suspect: The arrestee's gender, race, height, weight, eye and hair color, tattoos, and scars are all included in this.
• Details of the offense that the individual committed: In particular, this may be a crime, misdemeanor, or violation, such as breaking the law.
• Information on the arrest agency and booking: The arrest logs, booking date, booking time, mode of release, the suspect's arrest time, date, location, arresting agency, and officer's identity are all included.
• The disposition: Specifics of the arrest's outcome, the amount of bond set, details regarding the arrest's outcome, the amount of bail,

Seminole County Arrest Records Vs. Criminal Records

Seminole County's arrest and criminal records serve different functions and contain different facts. An arrest record will include the date, place, reason for an arrest and other specifics of a person's apprehension by law enforcement. Since these documents are made during an arrest, they do not show guilt or a conviction. On the other hand, criminal records provide a thorough overview of a person's past legal proceedings, including convictions, penalties, and terminations. They indicate a person was taken to court and was found guilty of the charges brought against them.

How Long Do Arrests Stay on Your Record?

Depending on the offense, an arrest may remain on a person's record for varying lengths. Arrests may also sometimes be permanently recorded on criminal records. Arrests for infractions such as speeding tickets, for instance, may not remain on a person's record for a long time. However, arrests for sexual offences and violent crimes (particularly those carrying a sentence of more than a year in jail) are permanently recorded.

The following arrests may stay on one's file forever:

• Firearm crime
• Drug abuse and possession.
• Child abuse.
• Driving under the influence
• Sexual offenses
• Domestic violence.

Expunge Seminole County Arrest Records

In Seminole County, an individual may seal their arrest record by expunging it. This means that once the arrest record is expunged the information in the record may no longer be available to the general public. A Section 991(c) expungement allows a person who received a deferred sentence to delete their plea and alter the case disposition to reflect that the court has dismissed their case. The disposition will read "not guilty, case dismissed. However, the arrest record is not entirely expunged. Meanwhile, a Section 18 expungement allows a person to expunge their arrest record entirely.

Parties looking to expunge their arrest record must pay a $150 processing fee to the local law enforcement agency in charge of expunging an arrest record.

Those who qualify may petition the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) for expungement. Eligibility may be attained by completing all court-mandated obligations and avoiding arrests for five years following the date of the last conviction.

To accomplish your expungement, the following details must be included in a requester's Petition for Expungement or Order of Dismissal:

• Arrestee's name
• Social security number
• date of birth,
• Charged crimes
• The date of arrest
