Benton County Arrest Records

Benton County arrest records are generally classified as publicly accessible records. The Washington Public Records Act allows the public to inspect and obtain arrest records from designated agencies. Publicly accessible arrest records may include the following:

• Arrestee's personal details, such as the name, mugshot, birthdate, and address.
• Arrest charges.
• Report number
• Name of the arresting agency.
• Booking number and date.
• Bond or bail amount.

Nevertheless, the Criminal Records Privacy Act restricts access to specific arrest information. The law restricts public access to sealed or expunged arrest records. Other non-public arrest records include the following:

• Personal identifying details of minors, crime victims, witnesses, and undercover officers.
• Arrest information that may interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation.
