Arrest History in Ascension Parish
APSO, Gonzales Police, Donaldsonville Police, Sorrento Police, Louisiana State Police, and special-jurisdiction officers may create arrest reports in Ascension Parish. If a person is lodged locally, Ascension Parish Jail creates the booking sheet, photograph, fingerprints, intake entries, and initial charge list. The arresting agency still holds its incident report.
An Ascension Parish arrest history is distributed across four custodians. The agency owns the arrest report, the jail owns booking data, the court records prosecution and outcome, and BCII keeps fingerprint-linked statewide history. These records may update at different times. Match agency, booking, and docket identifiers before treating entries as the same event. Preserve those identifiers when requesting a later correction or certified disposition.
Search Ascension Booking Numbers
The official APSO New World Inmate Inquiry accepts Name, Subject Number, or Booking Number. Filters include In Custody, Booking From and To dates, and Housing Facility. Search broadly by name, then narrow by date. Leave In Custody clear for an older event. Multiple Bookings indicates multiple booking entries, not multiple convictions.
| Field | Use | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Broad search; wildcard rules are not stated | No |
| Subject Number | Agency identifier across events | No |
| Booking Number | One intake event | No |
| In Custody | Limits results to current custody | No |
| Booking dates | Narrows intake range | No |
| Housing Facility | Includes Ascension Parish Jail | No |
The roster changes continuously and is not certified.
How to Look Up Ascension Parish Arrests
Use the channel that answers the question. The jail inquiry is strongest for a recent booking. An agency report supplies releasable incident facts. The court gives the filed charge and outcome. BCII Right to Review is the fingerprint-matched route for a person's own Louisiana history.
- Search New World by name without the custody filter, then narrow by booking date.
- Record the Subject or Booking Number and request a booking sheet or initial report at an APSO counter.
- Request a city department's report separately, then check the correct district, Parish, municipal, or mayor's court.
- For your own state record, schedule fingerprint Right to Review through the Louisiana Applicant Processing System.
- When routine channels fall short, mail a narrow request to APSO Legal Affairs and seek a cost estimate.
Request Ascension Arrest Records
APSO requires formal public-records requests in writing by USPS. Send them to Deputy Kyle Gautreau, Legal Affairs, APSO Headquarters, 828 S. Irma Blvd., Gonzales, LA 70737. APSO says another delivery method is not deemed received. State the date range, location, agency, incident or booking number, and exact records. Ask for electronic delivery and an estimate before reproduction.
Routine initial reports and booking sheets are available at the Donaldsonville Courthouse, headquarters, District 2, or District 3 counters. Posted prices are $1 per document page, $5 per photograph page, and $1 per audio or video minute plus $10 per disc. Active investigative material and protected identities may be withheld.

What an Arrest Record Shows
An incident report and booking sheet answer different questions. The agency report identifies the event, location, officer, legal authority, and releasable probable-cause facts. Jail data ties intake to subject and booking numbers, initial charges, bond, and release. Victims, minors, confidential sources, and active-investigation details may be redacted.
| Booking Number | Identifies one intake; Subject Number can connect events. |
|---|---|
| Booking Date & Time | Marks jail intake, not court filing. |
| Arresting Agency | Names the report custodian. |
| Charges | Lists allegations at intake, which may change. |
| Bond | May state type, amount, or release terms. |
| Mugshot Policy | The roster may display a photograph; APSO restricts copying or republication without consent. |
| Release Status | May show custody, scheduled release, release, or transfer. |
Ascension Booking to BCII
Booking normally includes identity checks, property inventory, health screening, photograph, fingerprints, charge and warrant entry, classification, and housing. BCII says its automated fingerprint system provides real-time identification at more than 100 livescan booking sites statewide. Fingerprints connect an Ascension Parish booking to computerized criminal history more reliably than a name.
The official APSO corrections division links jail inquiry and services.
A later disposition still depends on court-to-repository reporting, so the docket may update before BCII.
Recent Arrests and Booking Logs
New World results show a photo, name, Subject Number, In Custody status, Scheduled Release Date, race, gender, date of birth, height, weight, Multiple Bookings, and Housing Facility. A row may expose public booking and charge details. Results change as people enter custody, bond out, transfer, or complete a sentence.
The roster is a lead, not a complete Ascension Parish arrest history. Absence may reflect a date range, different name entry, protected record, or no parish-jail custody.

Use its identifiers for follow-up, not as proof of prosecutor action or guilt.
After Ascension Parish Jail
A person released on bond may leave the current roster while the case continues. A person sentenced to state custody can transfer from the parish system. Louisiana VINE, updated every 24 hours, covers state custody and community supervision. The DPS&C Imprisoned Person Locator at 225-383-4580 requires a DPS&C number or name and date of birth and can supply facility and projected release information.
Release may follow bond, court order, sentence completion, or transfer. Roster status can change before other databases. The court docket remains the source for the case outcome.
Ascension Warrant Arrest Record Trails
A warrant arrest can leave records with both the issuing court and the executing agency. The court docket may show a capias, issue date, bond, execution or return, and later recall or satisfaction. APSO or a municipal department may hold the arrest report and jail booking. Warrantless arrests instead rely on officer probable-cause documentation followed by judicial review.
No verified public APSO active-warrant database was found. Use the issuing court's docket, call APSO at 225-621-8300 for safe instructions, or mail a narrow request for releasable information. Sealed warrants and juvenile matters remain protected.
When a dismissed Ascension Parish arrest still appears, collect the Booking Number, the court docket, and a certified disposition. Compare every intake charge to its court outcome because one arrest event can contain several allegations with different results. A person auditing their own statewide history can use fingerprint-based Right to Review, identify the mismatched arrest cycle, and provide the correction evidence BCII requests. Louisiana expungement may remove a qualifying arrest event, including associated photographs and fingerprints, from public access, but it does not destroy the confidential record.
Juvenile arrests are generally confidential. APSO also identifies juvenile offender information, sexual-offense victim identities, undercover personnel, confidential sources, investigative methods, and security procedures as protected categories. A denial of a broad investigative file does not mean every related fact is unavailable. Ask whether the custodian can release a segregable initial report, booking sheet, arrest date, agency name, or final court disposition. A precise request gives the custodian a better chance to separate public material from exempt content. State the preferred electronic format and maximum reproduction cost. Include an address, phone or email for estimates, the event date and place, and any known subject, booking, incident, or court number. Keep the response with the disposition so each fact's source remains clear.
Arrests vs Convictions
An arrest documents police action and possible jail intake. A conviction exists only after a court records guilt by plea or verdict. The district attorney may refuse, amend, or replace a booking charge. A case may end in dismissal, nolle prosequi, or acquittal. Verify the outcome in Ascension Parish criminal court records.
| Arrest Record | Conviction Record |
|---|---|
| Created by arresting agency and jail | Created by the court |
| Shows an arrest or booking occurred | Shows a finding of guilt |
| Lives with agency and APSO systems | Lives with clerk and reported repository history |
| May lead to release, no filing, dismissal, or acquittal | May lead to sentence, appeal, set-aside, or expungement |
Note: An Ascension Parish arrest is not proof of guilt, and an intake charge may not become the final court charge.
