Arrest History in East Feliciana Parish
The East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office handles parish patrol, warrants, and jail custody. Louisiana State Police may create reports for state-highway arrests or state investigations. Clinton, Jackson, Slaughter, Norwood, and Wilson municipal authorities may hold records for local calls or ordinance enforcement. Each agency remains custodian of its own report; a parish public-record request does not automatically reach every municipal department.
One arrest can create four records. The arresting officer prepares an offense or arrest report. The East Feliciana Parish Jail creates intake and release entries. Fingerprints can transmit an arrest cycle to the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information, or BCII. If prosecution follows, the East Feliciana Clerk of Court creates a 20th JDC docket. These records overlap, but none is a substitute for all the others.
The parish’s official sheriff information identifies the local law-enforcement office.
Call for a Very Recent Booking
The East Feliciana Parish Jail at 12306 Haynes Street is the local pretrial-custody facility. Call 225-683-3313 for current or very recent custody; fax is 225-683-8687. The separate Transitional Work Program uses 225-683-5459 and should not be treated as the jail’s general booking line. No official public parish roster or sheriff mobile app was verified.

A telephone confirmation establishes current or recent custody and the intake allegation. It does not establish that the district attorney accepted every booking charge or that a conviction followed.
How to Look Up East Feliciana Parish Arrests
There is no one public search that answers every arrest question in East Feliciana. Use the following channel-complete sequence and keep the result tied to its source.
- Call the jail at 225-683-3313 for current custody because no verified official daily booking log exists.
- Identify the arresting agency and request its incident or arrest report, giving the approximate date, location, and report number if known.
- If charges may have been filed, ask the East Feliciana Clerk of Court for the 20th JDC docket, filed charge, and disposition.
- For a statewide review of your own Louisiana record, use BCII Right to Review fingerprint procedures; a $10 clerk name check covers parish court records only.
- If the person was transferred, sentenced, or placed under state supervision, search LA VINE or call the DPS&C locator at 225-383-4580.
Which Agency Made the Arrest?
Start with the agency named on the booking entry, citation, property receipt, or court docket. If that is unavailable, use the incident location and road jurisdiction to narrow the request. Do not send a broad request to parish government and assume it reaches the sheriff, towns, State Police, district attorney, and clerk.
| Agency | Likely scope | Verified route |
|---|---|---|
| East Feliciana Parish Sheriff | Parish patrol, warrants, jail | P.O. Box 207; 225-683-8572; jail 225-683-3313 |
| Louisiana State Police | State highways and state investigations | LSP public-records channel |
| Clinton Police | Town calls and ordinances | 11209 Bank Street; 225-683-9357; policeclerk@townofclintonla.com |
| Jackson authorities | Town and Mayor’s Court matters | Town Hall, P.O. Box 1150; 225-634-7777 |
| Slaughter Police | Town calls and ordinances | 804 W. Railroad Avenue; 225-654-2382 |
| Norwood or Wilson | Village ordinance enforcement | Confirm the custodian with the respective municipal office |
Louisiana State Police also publishes a distinct crash-report channel; it should not be mistaken for a general arrest-history database.
What an Arrest Record Shows
An agency report and a jail record describe different parts of the event. Public release can omit protected identifiers, victim information, juvenile information, medical details, or evidence connected to an active investigation.
| Agency report number | Identifier used by the arresting or investigating agency. |
|---|---|
| Event and arrest time | Dates and times that may differ from the later booking time. |
| Location and agency | Where the event occurred and which office acted. |
| Legal basis | Warrant or probable-cause basis stated in the agency record. |
| Alleged offense | Initial allegation and statute, subject to later charging changes. |
| Booking details | Booking number and time, fingerprints, photograph, and intake charge. |
| Bond or hold | Bond entry, no-bond status, or another agency’s detainer. |
| Custody outcome | Housing status, release, or transfer date when available. |
LA VINE After a State Transfer
LA VINE is useful after transfer into Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections custody or community supervision. It can return custody or supervision status, housing assignment, facility contact information, and a projected release date when applicable. It also supports notification registration. Because state guidance says the data refreshes every 24 hours, LA VINE is not a live parish booking board.
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Jurisdiction selector | Yes | Choose Louisiana or the relevant agency. |
| First name | Text | Conditional | Used with the name-search route. |
| Last name | Text | Conditional | Used with the name-search route. |
| ID or case number | Text | Alternative | More precise when the number is known. |
The official LA VINE search is the verified web route for participating custody and supervision data.
Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
No verified official East Feliciana public booking log, roster, warrant search, or local mobile app was found. The correct fallback chain is the jail telephone, an in-person or public-record request for booking information, LA VINE after transfer, and the DPS&C locator telephone. Commercial pages using the parish name are not substitutes for an official roster.
If a person cannot be located, consider release, transfer to another parish, a corrected booking name, federal custody, or a municipal citation that never resulted in jail admission. Absence from LA VINE can also reflect the daily refresh cycle or the fact that the person remains solely in parish custody.
DPS&C explains its state inmate-information channels and telephone locator.
From Intake to a BCII Arrest Cycle
After transport, jail staff verify authority to hold the person, collect identifying information and property, complete screening, take a photograph and fingerprints, enter charges and holds, and record the arresting agency. A judicial officer then addresses probable cause and bond under Louisiana law. Custody continues until release, transfer, or sentence.
BCII’s LACCH repository can contain Louisiana arrests, dispositions, probation or parole bookings, and incarceration. It does not itself hold every other state’s complete history. A missing or incorrect disposition should be addressed with an original certified court record and BCII’s correction process.
Federal Custody Uses a Separate Locator
A federal locator answers a different question. The Bureau of Prisons search uses a name or register, DCDC, FBI, or INS number for federal custody. It does not list someone held only at the East Feliciana jail or in Louisiana state custody. Federal court cases for the parish fall in the Middle District of Louisiana and generally require PACER or the federal clerk for the official docket.
The official BOP Inmate Locator is appropriate only when federal custody is plausible.
Arrests vs Convictions
An arrest record says an agency took action and a jail may have booked an allegation. A conviction record requires a court finding or accepted guilty plea. The records are created by different custodians and can end differently.
| Arrest record | Conviction record |
|---|---|
| Created by the arresting agency and jail. | Created through the court and maintained by the clerk. |
| Shows an allegation, arrest, or booking event. | Shows a finding of guilt or accepted guilty plea. |
| Lives in agency reports, intake records, and repository cycles. | Lives in the court docket, judgment, minutes, and repository disposition. |
| May end in release, declined charges, dismissal, or acquittal. | May lead to sentence, appeal, or later restricted access. |
Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt. Booking charges can be amended or rejected, and many arrests do not end in conviction.
Expungement Reaches Beyond the Docket
Louisiana’s expungement definition reaches arrest records, photographs, fingerprints, and dispositions associated with the arrest event. Eligible records are removed from public access, not destroyed. Law enforcement, criminal-justice agencies, the subject and counsel, courts on good cause, and enumerated agencies can retain statutory access.
Dismissal does not automatically erase every public trace. Eligibility depends on the outcome, elapsed time, pending charges, offense characteristics, and exclusions in Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure articles 971-995. East Feliciana’s verified filing amount totals $550 in four separate postal money orders: $200 to the clerk, $250 to State Police, $50 to the district attorney, and $50 to the sheriff. The amount is generally nonrefundable if relief is denied unless a statutory exemption or waiver applies.
