Connersville serves as the county seat of Fayette County, and essentially all arrests in the area flow through this facility.

Connersville Police Department

The Connersville Police Department is located at City Hall, 500 North Central Avenue, Connersville, IN 47331. The main line is 765-825-2111. The department's website is at connersvillein.gov. For records requests from city arrests, this is the right place to start.

Connersville PD handles city-level arrest reports and incident documentation. Once an arrest is made, the physical booking process happens at the Fayette County Jail. The jail holds the booking photo and official custody record. The city department can confirm arrests and provide its own records but does not control the mugshot itself.

Indiana's public records law at IC 5-14-3-5 gives anyone the right to request arrest records. The city must respond to a written request within seven days. If you need the booking photo specifically, direct that request to the Fayette County Sheriff at 765-825-1110.

Statewide Inmate Search Tools

Indiana's statewide INjail portal at public.indianajail.gov allows searches for people currently held in county jails across Indiana. If the Fayette County Jail participates, you can search by name and see live booking data including charges and booking dates. This tool is free and requires no login.

For older records not in the live portal, a direct request to the Fayette County Sheriff is more reliable. The sheriff's records office can tell you whether a specific person was booked and what charges were documented.

VINE Notifications and SAVIN

The VINE system lets you sign up for notifications when a specific inmate's custody status changes at the Fayette County Jail. You can register at VINELink.com or call 1-866-959-VINE (8463). VINE will send an alert when the person is released, transferred, or if there is any change in their status.

Indiana SAVIN at indianasavin.in.gov is a complementary tool that tracks offender custody across county and state facilities. Both are free to use. If you have a specific need to know when someone leaves the Fayette County Jail, VINE is the most direct option.

Court Records After Arrest

After booking at the Fayette County Jail, cases go to Fayette Circuit Court or Fayette Superior Court. Indiana's free court search tool, MyCase, lets you look up cases by name or case number. You can see what charges were filed, when hearings are scheduled, and how cases were resolved.

MyCase is updated regularly. Even if someone was released from the jail, the case record remains in MyCase until the case closes. This makes it useful for tracking what happened after the initial arrest, beyond what the jail roster shows.

For people sentenced to state prison, the IDOC Offender Locator at offenderlocator.idoc.in.gov tracks prison location separately from the county jail. Fayette County sentences that result in state prison time move out of local jail records and into IDOC's system.

Records Access and Legal Framework

Indiana treats arrest information as public under IC 5-14-3-5. This covers booking photos, charge information, and arrest dates. The law applies to all county sheriffs and city law enforcement agencies. You don't need to be an attorney or have a personal stake in a case to request records.

Some limits apply. IC 5-14-3-4 allows agencies to withhold records from active investigations, juvenile cases, and a few other categories. If a request is denied, the agency must explain why. IC 10-13-3-27 applies to criminal history dissemination, which is a broader category than individual arrest records and involves a separate process through the Indiana State Police.

Expungement under IC 35-38-5-5 lets courts seal certain arrest and conviction records. A granted expungement removes the records from routine public access. The Indiana Public Access Counselor at in.gov/pac handles disputes about access. Their opinion on mugshot and warrant access is a useful reference if you are unsure what you are entitled to receive.
