Boonville, Indiana, in Warrick County, has about 6,700 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the Prosecuting Attorney files charges, a case in the Warrick Circuit and Superior Courts. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Boonville
The FBI lists Boonville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Boonville Police Department. It reported 54 arrests for 2023, its latest complete year. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Warrick County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 227 arrests for 2024.
How Many Arrests Boonville Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Boonville: 54 for 2023, 94 for 2022 and 255 for 2020; 2021 is missing months.
Boonville's 54 arrests in 2023 were down 43 percent from 94 in 2022.
Across Warrick County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2023 on file reported 242 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Boonville Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Boonville is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2024 the jail held about 99 people, down from about 120 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 124 beds, and it ran at 95 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Boonville
Whether someone was arrested in Boonville, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Warrick Circuit and Superior Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at in.gov/courts/local/warrick-county); the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at warrickcounty.gov/prosecutor, phone 812-897-6199).
Statewide, mycase.IN.gov is the Indiana courts' free statewide case search.
Indiana is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Limited Criminal History search is open to anyone online, through the Indiana State Police. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Boonville
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act the agency must answer within 24 hours for a request made in person and 7 days for one sent by mail or email, and it may charge a copy fee set by the agency, within statutory limits.
