Search West Feliciana Recent Arrests

West Feliciana Recent Arrest Sources

Start with the sheriff's own booking log. The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office maintains a Jail Bookings page covering several days rather than a single one. Each entry shows a date, legal name, age, a block address or city, and the charges noted at booking. Booking numbers are absent. So are bonds, court dates, release status, and photographs. The address listed may mark a residence rather than the spot of the arrest.

Live custody is a separate lookup. WFPSO connects to a West Feliciana LA VINE/LAVNS roster, and the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement roster directory shows the parish takes part. LCLE says rosters receive jail updates every 30 minutes. That describes the feed, not a guarantee. Intake itself takes time. A person arrested in West Feliciana Parish may bond out, win release, or transfer before the next refresh. Checking both sources gives the fullest picture of a recent arrest in the parish.

Two companion pages split the work. The 24 Hour Arrests page covers the same-day window, while the Arrest Log page digs into the longer blotter and where its archive ends. Keep them separate in your head. One follows custody close to the moment; the other preserves dated booking events.

Who Was Booked Last Night?

No official feed guarantees a West Feliciana Parish cutoff for last night's bookings. For a fresh arrest, check the current roster first, then the sheriff's dated booking page. A name still missing? Call the West Feliciana Parish Detention Center at 225-784-3158 with booking or charge questions. The jail's own information page notes that a newly booked person gets a phone call. It tells families to wait for it. Intake steps, medical review, and classification all affect timing. Bond work, release, and transfers also affect when a record becomes visible.

Use VINELink Check to follow one person's custody. Or register for release and transfer alerts. Once a case begins, the Clerk of Court owns that file. The detention center does not post court dates publicly for security reasons. Never read the jail roster as a court calendar.

Is a missing name proof that no arrest occurred? No. WFPSO transfers females and juveniles to other facilities. Anyone can drop off the local roster after release or transfer. Public-record rules may also shield juvenile, victim, or pending investigative material.

Search West Feliciana Jail Roster

The live West Feliciana roster sits inside Louisiana's VINE network. An archived 2025 view showed an A–Z filter and a last-updated stamp. It also carried columns for name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. An anonymous custody-notification option came too. That archive documents the interface only. It is not a current roster or a trustworthy head count. With the legacy county domain running unreliably, the official LCLE directory and VINELink remain the dependable paths.

Keep the search short. Open the roster through the sheriff booking page or the LCLE directory. Use the A–Z control or current search fields, then match the name and date of birth carefully. Read the custody state and update time shown. Still nothing? Try the dated booking page, then contact detention. Someone released can vanish from a current roster while the older booking record lives on. The official detention information screen sorts out charge, bond, and court-date questions.

The screenshot below shows the roster's own gaps. When it omits a field or a fresh booking lags, a phone inquiry to detention fills the hole.

Where West Feliciana Bookings Appear

West Feliciana Parish bookings start with official channels. WFPSO holds the parish booking list and detention contacts. LA VINE handles custody status and alerts. The clerk of court keeps the case record itself. The official West Feliciana Sheriff LA Android app posts public-safety news, crime reports, and tips, but its store listing promises no booking photos, no roster, and no same-day arrest feed, so it cannot stand in for those offices.

Private mirrors deserve caution. RecentlyBooked's West Feliciana section, Busted Newspaper, and Mugshots.com republish data they never collected, and their listings can sit stale, shift fields, or skip a West Feliciana arrest record entirely. Aggregator counts never equal a parish total. No image there is guaranteed current either. The unofficial RecentlyBooked county view shows the kind of secondary listing that still needs an official check with WFPSO.

Treat the navigation example as a pointer only. Confirm every name, date, charge, and custody statement through WFPSO, LA VINE, or the court.

St. Francisville Recent Arrests

St. Francisville is the parish's only incorporated town. The St. Francisville Recent Arrests page follows how a municipal police event moves into the parish booking system. The town's own police page lists contact details. It posts no arrest log or photo feed. Once St. Francisville Police make an arrest, the person is booked at the West Feliciana Parish Detention Center, and the name can then surface on the WFPSO booking list and parish roster. Geography needs care here. A St. Francisville address on a booking record may mark a home, not an arrest scene. A parish booking also does not place the arrest inside town limits. Wakefield stays unincorporated. Angola hosts a state prison, so neither community becomes a city-arrests page.

West Feliciana Booking Record Fields

A booking is formal intake after an arrest or admission to custody. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 228 spells out an open booking entry. It requires a summary too. The entry covers the person's legal name and address. It also lists property taken, the booking date and time, the charges, and the arresting person. It includes a short account of the facts. The names of others arrested in the same event appear as well. The WFPSO web list shows less. A focused record request can supply more than the blotter.

Booking record

The intake record created by the jail or police station.

Bond

A financial or legal condition set for release while a case remains pending.

Disposition

The later court result, such as dismissal, acquittal, plea, or conviction.

Transfer

A move from the local detention center to another jail, state custody, or another system.

A dropped roster line erases nothing. A released person leaves the live list. A transferred person may appear in another system. Case numbers, bonds, court dates, and final results often exist only through detention staff or the clerk. The official article 228 page lays out the statutory booking-entry framework, so note your source and access date whenever you preserve a record.

This is why the formal booking record can hold details the sheriff's short public web entry never displays. State law sets the wider frame.

West Feliciana Mugshots and Photos

West Feliciana publishes no official public mugshot gallery. The sheriff's booking page is text-only. The archived roster view had no photo column either. WFPSO's fee schedule, dated October 1, 2023, prices a mug shot at $10 per person, though availability still depends on agency policy, exemptions, and Louisiana law. Ask for one named, date-bounded booking photograph. Skip bulk requests entirely. A booking photo only documents how a person looked at intake. Louisiana DPS&C victim services offers registered victims a narrow path: a current photo close to an incarcerated person's projected release date. That route is not a public gallery. Treat VINELink as a custody service, not a promised photo source. One more wrinkle exists. Article 234 changed after the 2023 fee schedule appeared. The posted price still matters, but the schedule's older statutory note is not current law. Confirm photo production with records@wfpso.org before paying or relying on that old language.

Request West Feliciana Booking Records

WFPSO takes public-record requests several ways. Walk in at 4785 Prosperity Street. Mail WFPSO Public Information Request, PO Box 1844, St. Francisville, LA 70775, email records@wfpso.org, or fax 225-635-6947 with "RECORDS REQUEST" marked for attention. The main information line is 225-635-3241. Call the detention desk for a pressing booking question, not to chase a pending records request.

1. Give the full legal name, approximate booking date, and arresting agency if known.
2. Name each item: article 228 booking record or summary, booking photo, initial report, bond record, or release/transfer record.
3. Ask for the current fee, photo policy, payment method, and production estimate before sending payment.
4. Keep the sent request, delivery proof, fee notice, response, and any written explanation for a redaction or denial.
5. Request a docket, minute entry, or verdict from the Clerk of Court rather than WFPSO.

The 2023 WFPSO schedule sets $10 per booking record, $1 per page for other documents, and $10 per person for a mug shot. Louisiana's public-record law demands prompt handling. It promises no fixed day count for complex requests. R.S. 44:33 covers a time for inspection when a record is not immediately available. R.S. 44:32 and 44:35 govern written determinations and enforcement. Ask the custodian for the current estimate. The WFPSO records-request page shows all four channels.

Use it to route a request to the records custodian, not the detention desk or the court clerk.

Louisiana Booking Photo Law

Louisiana R.S. 44:3 treats booking records required by article 228, initial complaint reports, summonses, citations, and bills of information as public categories. Redaction and lawful exemptions still apply. Pending investigative or prosecutorial material may be withheld. Protection also covers sensitive details about victims, minors, sex offenses, and family or domestic violence. A public booking summary does not open investigative files. Current article 234 takes aim at remove-for-pay photo sites. A covered site must remove and destroy an image within seven calendar days once an eligible person proves an acquittal, non-prosecution, expungement, vacated charge, or pardon. No removal fee is allowed. That rule is separate from WFPSO's power to issue an official copy. Expungement works differently. It pulls a record from public view without destroying it. Articles 971 through 973 define the process and its confidentiality, with different routes for arrests without conviction, misdemeanors, and felonies, plus exclusions. The signed court order is the key document. Filing runs through the West Feliciana Clerk and 20th JDC, and current forms and fees should be confirmed first.

Correcting West Feliciana Arrest Listings

Start with the custodian of the record. Send WFPSO the exact URL, the detail you dispute, and official paperwork such as a court minute or a signed order. A favorable outcome later does not erase the arrest. Still, that result deserves accurate wording. If a lawful expungement order now restricts public access, give a copy to the custodian and to any publisher that still displays the booking.

Private sites run their own free processes. RecentlyBooked's policy covers corrections and several removal grounds at no charge. Busted Newspaper's form accepts error and qualifying disposition requests, though the page does not always load reliably. Mugshots.com record maintenance describes free removal or updates and asks for proof. Skip any service promising special access or guaranteed deletion. Keep a copy of every request and reply.

Louisiana R.S. 44:36 sets a general three-year floor for keeping records when no other period or approved schedule applies. The law has limits. It says nothing about how long WFPSO keeps a booking online or retains a photo. For an older arrest record, ask WFPSO first. The State Archives matters only when a schedule or transfer shows the record went there.

West Feliciana Arrest Warrants

WFPSO publishes no warrant portal, warrant list, or most-wanted page. Dated booking entries sometimes use terms such as bench warrant. Fugitive warrant and failure to appear also show up. A booking roster is not a complete warrant database, though. A warrant is a court or judicial command authorizing an arrest. Its status can change. Service, recall, or a court action can shift it.

For a current warrant question, call WFPSO at 225-784-3136 or 225-635-3241. The Clerk of Court can be reached at 225-635-3794. The clerk's criminal search through eClerksLA may add case context. Anyone facing a warrant issue should work with counsel or the court directly. Never approach someone believed to be wanted. Call 911 in an emergency.

Bond After West Feliciana Arrests

WFPSO's bond instructions fill in details the booking list skips. Judges of the 20th Judicial District Court set the amounts. Some figures are preset. Others are set case by case. The detention page describes cash, commercial surety, and property bond routes. It also lists a $30 bond fee. A property-bond filing fee runs roughly $160 to $200 depending on owners and filing. Confirm the amount before paying, since bond status and fees can shift apart from the dated arrest entry.

Bond governs release while a case moves forward. A release can pull someone off the current roster. The booking entry and the court case still stand. Detention handles a present bond question, and the clerk and the court hold the later filings and minutes.

West Feliciana Arrest Dispositions

The trail splits in two. The sheriff records the booking. The West Feliciana Clerk of Court tracks the case after that, and its instructions tell users to select "VERDICT CRIMINAL" in eClerksLA for criminal case records. The clerk also maintains indictments, bills of information, docket and index entries, and daily minutes. An arraignment is the hearing where charges are formally presented and a plea is entered. Later minutes may show motions, pleas, trials, sentences, or dismissals. The arrest is only the first page. The official Clerk of Court search instructions show the verdict step.

When a booking charge needs a later verdict or disposition check, the clerk view is the proper follow-through.

Why Jail Omits Court Dates

WFPSO says security concerns keep court dates out of public view. The court record itself stays open. The booking desk is just not the court calendar. For docket and minutes, contact the West Feliciana Clerk at 4785 Prosperity Street, St. Francisville, LA 70775, or 225-635-3794. The clerk charges $1 per page for regular copies. Certified copies run $10, and extracts of minutes $15, all subject to confirmation. The 20th Judicial District Court holds original criminal jurisdiction in West Feliciana. The sheriff covers the booking side.

Angola Is Not Recent Arrests

Angola sits inside West Feliciana Parish, but the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections runs it. Louisiana State Penitentiary is not the parish detention center. The parish also hosts a transitional work program. Each facility has its own purpose, address, and records. A person held at Angola is not a new parish arrest just because the prison sits here.

For someone assigned to state custody, use the DPS&C inmate information route. It points to LA VINE and a state locator refreshed every 24 hours. Searches there work by location, name, or ID and case number. The locator also covers some probation and parole supervision. It is not for fresh parish bookings.

Federal and immigration custody run on separate systems. The BOP locator covers federal prisoners from 1982 forward. State and parish detainees are left out. The ICE locator tracks current immigration custody. It also lists some recent releases. DHS VINE is a separate notification service. None of these is a West Feliciana booking-photo gallery, and absence from one system says nothing conclusive about another.
