Under Indiana Code 35-38-9, some Kokomo arrest records can be sealed through expungement. If you were arrested but never charged, you may file a petition after one year. Some misdemeanor convictions qualify after five years. The petition goes to the Howard County court that handled the case. The judge reviews the petition based on the offense, time passed, and whether you have any new charges. Not every case qualifies. Contact an attorney or the Howard County court clerk for guidance on your specific situation.
