Boone County, Kentucky Arrest & Court Record Guide

Search Boone County Jail Bookings, Arrest Records and Criminal Cases

Use Boone County’s live inmate list to confirm current custody, then connect the booking to Kentucky District or Circuit Court records. If you need the actual arrest or offense report, request it from the law-enforcement agency that created the record—not from the jail roster or Circuit Court Clerk.

Boone County has an important local split: the elected Jailer operates the jail at 3020 Conrad Lane, the Sheriff’s Office is next door at 3000 Conrad Lane, and District and Circuit criminal cases are handled through the Boone County Justice Center on Rogers Lane. This page shows which office to use at each step.

Jail Record, Police Report and Court Case Serve Different Purposes

Boone County inmate record Best for current custody, booking date and any scheduled-release information displayed by the county jail system.
Police or Sheriff arrest record Best for the underlying incident or arrest report created by the arresting law-enforcement agency.
Kentucky court record Best for filed charges, case number, arraignment, preliminary hearing, indictment, plea, dismissal, sentence and final disposition.
An arrest is not a conviction. The jail entry is a custody record. Charges can later be amended, dismissed, reduced or resolved differently in court.

Choose What You Need Before Opening a Search

Is someone in Boone County Jail? Start with the official inmate list and filter the name before calling the facility.

What charges went to court? Use Guest CourtNet or contact the Boone Circuit Court Clerk.
Need the arrest narrative? Request the report from Boone County Sheriff, Florence Police, CVG Police or the actual arresting agency.

Kentucky-specific custody sequence

What Usually Happens After an Arrest in Boone County

1 Arrest Sheriff deputies, Florence Police, airport police, Kentucky State Police or another agency may make the arrest.
2 Booking The person is processed into jail and a custody record is created.
3 Pretrial review Kentucky Pretrial Services evaluates eligible defendants after booking.
4 District Court Arraignments, misdemeanors and initial felony proceedings generally start here.
5 Circuit Court Felony cases proceed here after indictment or other proper Circuit filing.
6 Release / sentence The person may be released pretrial, remain jailed, enter supervision or later move into state corrections.
Kentucky Pretrial Services: the statewide program operates in all 120 counties and is required to conduct an interview and assessment within 24 hours of arrest for individuals arrested on bailable offenses.

No Boone County Inmate Result? Check These Five Possibilities

Very recent booking The jail may still be completing intake and data entry.
Already released Court or pretrial action may have resulted in release before you searched.
Different spelling Try surname only, hyphen variations, middle-name removal or known legal aliases.
Different custody system A sentenced offender may now appear in Kentucky DOC’s KOOL system rather than the county jail list.
Different county or federal hold Verify where the person was booked and which agency currently has custody.
Retry the inmate search with fewer name fields. A restrictive search can hide a valid match.
Call Boone County Jail. Use 859-334-2143 for facility custody questions.
Search Guest CourtNet. A court case may remain visible after release from jail.
Search KOOL. Use the Kentucky Department of Corrections system when the person may be in state custody or supervision.
Check VINE for custody changes. VINE can provide notifications of certain release, transfer, escape and parole-hearing events.

Boone District Court vs Boone Circuit Court

District Court: first stop for many criminal cases
  • Misdemeanors
  • Violations
  • Traffic offenses
  • Arraignments
  • Felony probable-cause / preliminary proceedings
  • Juvenile matters under separate access rules

A jail booking involving a felony can therefore have an initial District Court case before a later Circuit Court criminal case exists.

Circuit Court: felony trial court
  • Felony criminal prosecutions
  • Capital offenses
  • Grand-jury indictment cases
  • Felony arraignments
  • Felony pretrial conferences
  • Sentencing and later felony docket activity

When a felony moves from District Court into Circuit Court, the same underlying incident can generate a separate case in each jurisdiction.

Do not count District and Circuit case numbers as two separate arrests automatically. Kentucky court analytics specifically note that the same felony incident can appear once in District Court and again as a separate Circuit case after indictment.

Boone County Criminal Court Schedule

The Kentucky Court of Justice currently publishes the following Boone County criminal-session pattern. Court dates can be changed by order, holiday or case-specific scheduling, so verify the individual docket before traveling.

Search Boone County Criminal Cases With Guest CourtNet

Open KYeCourts Guest Login. Go to Public Court Records – Guest Login.
Accept the public-search terms. The Kentucky Court of Justice provides free guest access to public case information throughout the Commonwealth.
Search the defendant carefully. Use Boone County as the jurisdiction when the filing county is known.
Look for District and Circuit criminal cases. A felony event can create an initial District case and a later Circuit Criminal case.
Compare case dates with the booking date. This helps prevent matching an old case to a new jail admission.
Read the latest docket event. Check for amendments, dismissal, indictment, plea, sentence or other final action.
Verify important information through the Circuit Court Clerk. Guest CourtNet itself warns that online information can change or contain delay and should be cross-referenced with the official court record.
Use restriction: Kentucky’s Guest CourtNet page says its information cannot be used for employment, licensing or eligibility for government programs. Use the appropriate authorized criminal-record process for those purposes.

Need an Official Boone County Court Record or Copy?

Circuit Court Clerk David S. Martin

6025 Rogers Lane, Room 141
Burlington, KY 41005
Phone 859-448-2900
Fax: 859-448-2975

Kentucky’s Circuit Court Clerks maintain official case records for Circuit, Family and District courts. The Administrative Office of the Courts is not the custodian of an individual Boone County case file.

Find the case number first. Use Guest CourtNet when possible to reduce clerk research time.
Call or visit the Boone Circuit Court Clerk. Ask whether the requested case file or document is available at the Justice Center.
Specify the document. Ask for the citation, complaint, indictment, order, docket, judgment or other exact record rather than “everything.”
For older files, ask where the record is stored. Kentucky explains that some older court files can be housed at a records facility or lawfully destroyed under retention schedules.
Visitor tip: The Justice Center lists free parking in front of the building and in the church parking lot behind the building and is listed as fully accessible.

Read the official Kentucky court-record request instructions.

Bond and Pretrial Release in Boone County

Kentucky does not use commercial bail bondsmen in the way many states do. Pretrial Services operates statewide and evaluates eligible arrested people for pretrial release.

ROR
Recognizance Release based on the defendant’s promise to appear and comply with court conditions.
UNS
Unsecured A monetary amount can be attached without requiring that amount to be posted up front.
3RD
Third-party surety An approved third party signs responsibility under applicable release conditions.
$
Cash / financial Some cases require financial bail as ordered by the court.
%
Partially secured A percentage of the bail amount may be required when the judge selects this option.
Within 24 hours: Kentucky Pretrial Services says specialists interview and assess individuals arrested on bailable offenses and present information to a judge when immediate pre-arraignment release is not available.
Do not guess the bond from the charge alone. Call Boone County Jail at 859-334-2143 or the Circuit Court Clerk for current release/bond information connected with the actual case.

Read Kentucky Pretrial Services release guidance.

How to Request a Boone County Sheriff Arrest or Incident Report

Sheriff Les K. Hill
Records Unit 859-334-2120
Main office 859-334-2175
Warrants 859-334-2170
Confirm that Boone County Sheriff created the record. A booking at Boone County Jail does not necessarily mean the Sheriff was the arresting agency.
Open the Sheriff’s current Open Records page. Use Boone County Sheriff Open Records.
Read the current rules before completing the form. The Sheriff provides its current Open Records Rules & Regulations with the fillable inspection application.
Identify the record narrowly. Include legal name, incident date, approximate time/location, report number and type of record if known.
Ask for the actual report. Specify arrest report, offense report, collision report or another identifiable existing record.
Expect lawful redactions. Active investigations, victim information and other protected material can affect what is released.
“I am requesting the Boone County Sheriff record for an incident involving __________ on or about __________ at __________. The report or case number is __________ if available. I am seeking the existing arrest/offense report and any releasable attachments associated with that incident.”
Sheriff office: 3000 Conrad Lane, Burlington, KY 41005. Administrative hours are Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m.–12:00 noon.
Boone County arrests can begin with more than one agency

Where to Request the Report Based on the Arresting Agency

Boone County Sheriff Use the Sheriff Open Records procedure for Sheriff-created reports.

Records: 859-334-2120
Florence Police Department Florence directs requests for criminal offense reports to the Public Safety Communications Center at the Florence Government Center.

8100 Ewing Blvd.
Florence, KY 41042
859-647-5420
CVG Airport Police An incident at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport can belong to the airport police rather than the Sheriff. CVG publishes an Open Records process for airport records.
Kentucky State Police If KSP made the arrest or created the incident report, use the Kentucky State Police record process instead of Boone County Sheriff.
Other county / federal agency A person can be housed in Boone County while another jurisdiction owns the underlying investigation.
Unsure who arrested the person? Start with the detailed jail entry, charging paperwork or court record to identify the law-enforcement agency.
Florence-specific shortcut: the City of Florence says criminal offense reports can be obtained through its Public Safety Communications Center during published weekday hours; broader open-record requests can use the City Clerk’s online Open Records form.

Need a Kentucky Criminal History Instead of One Boone County Arrest?

The Kentucky Administrative Office of the Courts offers criminal-record reports based on state court activity from all 120 Kentucky counties. This is different from searching Boone County Jail.

What the state report includes Kentucky AOC says reports include misdemeanor and traffic cases for at least the last five years and felony records dating back to 1978.
What it does not include Federal criminal information is not part of the Kentucky AOC report.
Confidential cases Juvenile, mental-health and domestic-violence case types are among records excluded from the public criminal-record report.
Searching another person has a consequence: Kentucky AOC states that when a report is requested on another person and a record is found, the Records Unit will notify that individual and send them a copy of the report results.
The report is not the official court record. Kentucky identifies the county Circuit Court Clerk as the custodian of the actual case file.

Use Kentucky Offender Online Lookup After Jail or Sentencing

KOOL—the Kentucky Offender Online Lookup—is maintained by the Department of Corrections and is useful when the person has entered the state correctional or supervision system.

Open KOOL. Go to Kentucky Offender Online Lookup.
Start with minimal name information. KOOL itself recommends entering as little information as needed to get a match.
Use aliases when appropriate. The search includes an option to search aliases.
Use advanced filters only after broad search. Filters include DOC/PID number, supervision status, location, county of supervision, conviction county and offense categories.
Do not treat KOOL offense categories as the exact criminal charge. Kentucky warns that displayed offense categories may be generalized categories used to aid searching.
Fresh-data caution: Kentucky DOC states that offender data newer than 120 days may not yet be finalized.

Track Release or Transfer With Kentucky VINE

Kentucky Department of Corrections identifies VINE as the automated victim-notification system covering custody events from county jails, prisons, mental-health facilities and juvenile detention centers.

Release alert Receive notification when a registered offender is released from qualifying custody.
Transfer / escape alert VINE can notify users of qualifying transfer or escape events.
Parole-hearing alert Notifications can include upcoming parole-hearing information.
Kentucky VINE phone: 1-800-511-1670.

Boone County Jail Contact & Custody Facts

Jailer Jason Maydak
Jail address 3020 Conrad Lane
Burlington, KY 41005
24-hour facility line 859-334-2143
Sheriff next door 3000 Conrad Lane
859-334-2175
Important office distinction: Kentucky uses an elected county Jailer. The Boone County Jailer is responsible for jail operations; the Boone County Sheriff is a separate elected law-enforcement office.
Do not call the Sheriff tax or civil-process line for routine inmate custody questions. Use the jail’s main line or inmate search first.

Visitation, Phone, Money and Mail: Verify Before Paying a Provider

Third-party inmate-service providers and facility schedules can change. Boone County’s current public inmate tool is reliable for custody verification, but family-service details should be confirmed directly with the jail before creating or funding an account.

  • Confirm the inmate is still housed at Boone County Jail
  • Use the exact legal name from the county inmate record
  • Call 859-334-2143 for the current visitation procedure
  • Ask whether on-site and remote visitation are currently offered
  • Confirm the current phone provider before buying phone credits
  • Confirm the current commissary/deposit provider before sending money
  • Ask for the current inmate-mail format before mailing photographs or publications
  • Keep transaction confirmations and receipts
Do not rely on an old jail-service directory for current pricing. Provider names, rates, visit windows and mail-screening systems can change without matching updates on third-party websites.

How to Read a Boone County Arrest Record Without Misstating It

Field What It Tells You What It Does Not Prove
Booking date When the person entered that jail booking process. Date of conviction or sentence.
Scheduled release date A release date currently displayed by the jail when one is available. A guaranteed future release; holds or court action can change custody.
Booking charge The allegation associated with intake. That prosecutors filed or proved the same charge.
District case Initial local criminal proceeding, misdemeanor case or felony preliminary stage. That the felony never moved to Circuit Court.
Circuit CR case A Circuit criminal case, commonly associated with felony prosecution. A conviction without reading the disposition.
Disposition How the specific charge or case ended at that stage. That no appeal, later modification or expungement exists.

Boone County Search Scenarios

Florence arrest last night Search the Boone jail list first, then check the arresting agency. If Florence Police made the arrest, obtain the criminal offense report through Florence rather than the Sheriff.
Felony arrest in Burlington Check the initial District case and then watch for a later Circuit Criminal filing after grand-jury action.
Person no longer on current inmates Search Guest CourtNet, KOOL and VINE instead of assuming the arrest never happened.
Family needs bond information Call the jail and review the court/pretrial release decision. Kentucky does not use ordinary commercial bail bondsmen.
Arrest happened at CVG Identify whether CVG Airport Police or another federal/state agency created the report, then use that custodian’s public-record process.
Employer asks for criminal history Do not use Guest CourtNet as an employment screening product. Use the legally appropriate background-check process.
Old Boone County criminal case Contact the Circuit Court Clerk if the file predates convenient online access or has moved to a records facility.
State-sentenced offender Move from the county jail search to KOOL when the person has entered Kentucky DOC custody or supervision.
Need actual arrest narrative Find the arresting agency and request its report instead of relying on a jail charge description.
