Arrest Expungement in Webster Parish

If charges were dropped or a Webster Parish case ended in acquittal, the person may be able to get the Webster Parish arrest expunged. Louisiana allows misdemeanor expungement after five years and felony expungement under certain conditions. The fee is $250 to the Bureau of Criminal Identification, plus court filing costs. Contact the 26th Judicial District Court for details.

Once expunged, the Webster Parish arrest record will not appear in standard searches. Webster Parish law enforcement may still access it in limited situations.

If you do not know which agency made the arrest, a VINE Link search by name will pull up results from any agency that booked the person into the Webster Parish jail.

Keep in mind that arrest records stay on file permanently in Louisiana. Even if charges were never filed or the case was dismissed, the booking record stays in the system until the person goes through the formal expungement process. Louisiana does not automatically clear these records. You must file a motion, pay the processing fees, and get a judge to sign an order. Contact the 26th Judicial District Court or a local attorney for help with this process.
