Some arrest records in Greene County may be sealed through the expungement process. Under Indiana Code 35-38-9, people with dismissed cases, not guilty verdicts, or certain qualifying convictions can petition to have their records sealed. The petition goes to the court where the case was filed. Once sealed, the records do not appear in standard public searches. Law enforcement can still access them, but the general public cannot. Not all records qualify for expungement. Violent felonies and certain sex offenses are generally excluded.
The Greene County Auditor's Office can be reached at 812-384-8658 if you need to ask about records that fall outside the sheriff's scope. Court filings, tax records, and property records go through separate county offices.
