Greenville Arrest Records and the Law

North Carolina public records law under N.C.G.S. Chapter 132 makes most arrest records available to the public. Greenville arrest records are created and held by multiple agencies. The police department holds incident reports. The sheriff's office holds booking records. The courts hold criminal case files. Each type of record provides different information about the same arrest event.

An arrest does not mean a person is guilty. Charges may later be reduced, dismissed, or result in acquittal. The arrest record remains in the system unless the defendant successfully petitions for expunction under N.C.G.S. § 15A-146. Expunctions based on dismissed charges or not-guilty verdicts remove the record from public access and allow the person to deny the arrest in most circumstances.

Records tied to juvenile arrests are sealed under North Carolina juvenile justice statutes. These records are not available through public channels. Adult arrest records, including those for defendants in Greenville, remain publicly accessible unless expunged or otherwise restricted by court order.
