Morgan County Arrest Records

Morgan County arrest records are mostly accessible to the public. The Alabama Open Records Law generally allows the public to view and request copies of arrest documents from public entities. Publicly accessible arrest information may include the following:

• Arrestee's name, birthdate, and address.
• Arrest charges, location, and report number.
• Name of the arresting agency and holding facility.
• Booking number and date.
• Bond or bail amount.

However, Alabama laws restrict public access to specific arrest information. Such records are generally exempt if they include sensitive or confidential information. Examples of non-public arrest records include the following:

• Arrest records that are sealed or expunged by court orders or laws.
• Arrest information that may interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation.
• Personal information of security-vulnerable parties, such as crime victims, arresting officers, and witnesses.
