What Assumption Parish Booking Records Show
Booking records from Assumption Parish are public under Louisiana Revised Statute 44:3(4)(a), which makes the booking of a person under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228 a public document. The public portion of a booking record covers the person's name and identifying details, the charges filed, the date and time of the alleged offense, and the location where the offense took place.
Full investigative files and records tied to pending criminal litigation are not included in what is public. Louisiana's R.S. 44:3 allows law enforcement to hold back those portions. What you can access freely through LAVINE or a direct records request is the initial booking data that documents the person's entry into custody. The Assumption Parish Sheriff's website notes that the parish provides online resources to check current inmate status.
Note: An arrest or booking is not proof of guilt. Everyone booked in Assumption Parish is presumed innocent unless found guilty in court.
