Levy County Booking Report Details

A booking record in Levy County shows the full name of the person who was arrested. It lists the booking date and time so you know exactly when they were processed at the jail. Charges tell you what the arrest was for. Bond amounts show the dollar figure set by the judge, or "N/A" if no bond has been set yet. Each entry also carries a booking number that you can use to track the record.

The charges you see on the 72 hour report are the ones that were active at the time of the booking. They are not final. The state attorney in the 8th Judicial Circuit reviews each case and decides on final charges. That process can take days or weeks. What ends up in court records may look different from what the booking report shows. For case outcomes and court dates in Levy County, check with the Clerk of Court rather than the jail.

If you need a full criminal history check beyond the Levy County 72 hour window, the FDLE criminal history records database covers all of Florida. The search costs $24 per name and can be run online through the FDLE website.

FDLE maintains the central criminal history repository for the state. Their data covers arrests from every county, including Levy.

Public Records Law and Levy County

Booking records in Levy County are public under Florida law. Florida Statute 119.01 states that all records made by government agencies are open to the public. That means every booking at the Levy County jail can be viewed by anyone. You don't have to explain why you want to see the records. Just ask for them or view them online.

Florida Statute 119.071(2)(c) does exempt some law enforcement data from public view when tied to active investigations. Those exemptions lift once the case closes. Juvenile arrests are kept private under Florida Statute 985.04, so people under 18 won't appear on the Levy County booking report. And under Florida Statute 901.43, it is a crime for any person or website to charge money for the removal of booking photos. All of these rules apply to Levy County the same as every other county in Florida.

The FDLE public records page gives a full breakdown of all exemptions and how they work for law enforcement records in the state.

Tips for Levy County Record Searches

Levy County is a smaller county so the booking report tends to be shorter than what you'd see in a metro area. Some days may have only a few entries. If you search and find nothing, it could just mean there were no recent arrests. Try again later or call the office for a status check.

Spelling matters a lot in a small database. One wrong letter and you get zero results. If you aren't sure of the spelling, try just the last name to get a wider set. You can also try different versions of the first name. The booking system in Levy County may list names slightly different from how you expect, so flexibility helps.

• Call (352) 486-5100 for the fastest answer on inmate status
• Use multiple data points to confirm you have the right person
• Booking records may lag behind real time events at the jail
• Some info may be held back due to active investigations
• Email requests may take longer than phone calls
