Campbell County Arrest Records Vs. Criminal Records

Campbell County arrest records and criminal records both document aspects of an individual’s dealings with law enforcement. The main distinction between these records lies in their scope. Campbell County arrest records will typically detail all an individual’s arrests within the county. The record will include the date, time, and location of the arrests, arresting agencies, crimes committed, and bail bond information.

Criminal records, on the other hand, detail an individual’s entire criminal history, including arrests. A criminal record will also include court case information, verdicts, sentencing details, and prison time.

How Long Do Arrests Stay on Your Record?

Arrests that occurred in Wyoming generally remain on an individual’s record indefinitely unless they get expunged or sealed. An individual may apply to the court where the arrest happened for the record to be expunged if they meet the appropriate criteria. A record may be eligible to be expunged in Wyoming if it meets the following criteria:

• If the charge was dismissed, at least 180 days must have passed since the arrest
• The applicant must have been acquitted on all charges from the arrest or have no charges filed
• The applicant must have no formal charges pending against them when the expungement application is made

Different types of crimes also have waiting periods that must pass before the applicant may request an expungement. Felony convictions can only be expunged ten years after completing the sentence and any attached supervision time. Misdemeanor convictions can only be expunged five years after completing the sentence. Finally, arrests with no convictions may be expunged 180 days after the arrest or after all the charges were dropped.
