Duplin County, NC Arrests, Mugshots & Jail Records

How To Search Duplin County Arrest Records?

North Carolina records at least 236,000 arrests annually, with about 1,800 logged in Duplin County. The Public Records Law grants anyone the right to inspect, examine, or obtain copies of arrest records held by a public law enforcement agency.

Despite this, public law enforcement agencies may deny access to specific information within public records. Typically, records that may threaten the physical or mental health of a victim or hinder a defendant's fair trial may be kept confidential. However, authorized individuals, including the District Attorney and law enforcement personnel, maintain unrestricted access to these records. In Duplin County, the fee for obtaining an arrest record is determined by the actual cost of reproduction.

How To Look Up Duplin County Arrest Records?

Duplin County arrest records may be requested from any of the holding entities, such as the Sheriff's Office, local police departments, Superior Court, District Court, and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.

Sheriff's Arrest Records

Anyone may obtain arrest records in person from the Duplin County Sheriff's Office, which is generally open to the public during regular business hours on weekdays. The office is located at 112 West Hill Street, P.O. Box 908, Kenansville, NC 28349.

Police Arrest Records

Parties interested in obtaining arrest records may visit the police department that conducted the arrest in person. Alternatively, they may submit a written request containing the arrestee's name, the date and location of the arrest, and the name of the arresting officer to the mailing address specified on the relevant department's website.

Duplin County is home to several police departments, including the Kenansville Police Department, Warsaw Police Department, Wallace Police Department, Magnolia Police Department, and Beulaville Police Department.

For $14, individuals may obtain a copy of their criminal history record directly from the SBI. To initiate this request, applicants must submit their fingerprints using a standard FD-258 fingerprint card, which may be completed at any law enforcement agency within Duplin County. The fingerprint card must also include the applicant's full name, race, sex, date of birth, signature, Social Security number, reason for fingerprinting, and both the date and signature of the law enforcement officer who conducted the fingerprinting exercise. Lastly, the completed fingerprint card, along with a certified check or money order for $14 made payable to the SBI, may be submitted by mail to:
