Search Boone County Criminal Records Online
Boone County has three online options for criminal record searches. The first is CourtConnect at caseinfo.arcourts.gov, the state's free case search portal. No account is required. Boone County has partial participation, so you get basic case index data including party names, case numbers, filing dates, and docket entries, but not full document images.
The second option is Judici.com, a subscription-based service that covers Boone County cases filed since August 1993. Judici offers more detailed records and document images for some cases, which can be useful if you need more than the index data CourtConnect provides. Cases before August 1993 are not in either online system and require an in-person or staff-assisted search.
The third option is the Arkansas courthouse kiosk network at arcourtkiosk.org, which has a Boone County location. Kiosks at the Harrison courthouse let you search records, access legal forms, and explore record-sealing options at no cost. For all online searches, sealed cases, juvenile records, and cases predating the county's entry into Contexte will not appear.
Note: Records from before August 1993 are not available through Judici or CourtConnect. Contact the clerk directly for older cases.How to Request Boone County Court Records

Types of Criminal Records in Boone County
The Circuit Clerk holds several categories of criminal records. Felony cases are the largest group, covering drug charges, violent crimes, property offenses, and more. Misdemeanor cases appealed from local district courts also end up in the clerk's files. A typical case file includes the charging document, any arrest warrant, bond paperwork, plea agreements, the judgment and sentencing order, and the full docket sheet.
Juvenile delinquency records are sealed under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-309 and are not public. Expunged and court-sealed records also do not appear in public searches. Copies provided to the public are redacted to remove Social Security numbers, financial account data, and the addresses of domestic violence victims per Administrative Order 19.
Historical records from Boone County going back many decades may exist in the clerk's archives. For records not found through Judici, CourtConnect, or the staff search process, contact the Arkansas State Archives, which holds some older county records.
