Acadia Parish 24 Hour Arrest Details

When someone is booked into the Acadia Parish jail, the record that gets created holds a good deal of data. Each entry in the JADES system shows the inmate's full name, date of birth, and booking date and time. It lists all charges, which could range from traffic stops to drug offenses to warrants from other courts. Bond amounts are shown when they have been set by a judge.

These records are kept as part of the parish's public files. La. R.S. 15:587 governs the release of full criminal history through the state system, but local booking logs are a separate matter. The parish jail posts its own data through JADES, and that info is open to all under the state's public records law covering bookings. You do not need to be a lawyer or a family member to look it up.

Clearing 24 Hour Booking in Acadia Parish

If you were arrested in Acadia Parish and the case was dropped or you were found not guilty, you may be able to get the record sealed. Louisiana law, under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 971, allows for the expungement of certain arrest records. This does not erase the record but makes it confidential so it will not show up in most searches.

Expungement in Acadia Parish goes through the booking process at the 15th Judicial District Court. You need to file a motion with the court and provide proof that the case ended without a conviction. Misdemeanor convictions may qualify too, but you typically need to wait five or more years after completing your sentence. Felony convictions are generally not eligible. Talk to a lawyer or contact the Clerk of Court in Crowley if you want to start this process.

Note: Expunged records still remain visible to law enforcement agencies and certain state boards.
