Beaver County Recent Bookings and Arrest Records

The Beaver County Recent Bookings page displays arrest and booking activity from the past 30 days. This is a public-facing tool maintained through the official Beaver County government portal. Anyone can view this data without creating an account or paying a fee.

Utah passed HB 228, which removed mugshot images from public booking records. As a result, Beaver County booking pages no longer display photographs of individuals who have been booked into the jail. Charges listed on this page are preliminary. They reflect what law enforcement reported at the time of arrest. A charge does not mean a person has been convicted of any crime. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

Beaver County criminal records in the booking database cover a wide range of offenses. These include murders, rapes, burglaries, arson, motor vehicle theft, assaults, and sexual crimes. The booking page is one of the fastest ways to check recent arrest activity in Beaver County.

The screenshot below is sourced from the Beaver County Recent Bookings page, which shows the past 30 days of arrest and booking information.

Per HB 228, mugshot photos are no longer shown, and all charges on the bookings page are considered preliminary pending formal court proceedings.

Note: Booking records list preliminary charges only. Final outcomes depend on court proceedings and may differ from what appears on the booking page.

The XChange system allows public users to search case information by name, case number, or party. Some records may require in-person requests at the courthouse depending on the nature of the case.

Felony cases are handled at the district court level. Misdemeanor and infraction cases may go through justice court. Beaver County criminal records at the court level cover the full range of offenses from minor infractions to serious felonies.

How to Request Beaver County Criminal Records

Criminal records in Beaver County are public under the Government Records Access and Management Act (GRAMA). Requests can be submitted in person at the Sheriff's Office Records Department or through the County Clerk/Auditor's office. The County Clerk/Auditor is Ginger McMullin, located at 105 East Center Street, Beaver, UT 84713. Her office phone is (435) 438-6463.

The County Clerk's office can direct requesters to the appropriate agency if needed.

Third-party criminal background check services can also provide Beaver County criminal records searches. These services aggregate public data from court filings, arrest records, and other sources. They are useful for broad searches but may not capture every record. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, direct requests to the Sheriff's Office or courthouse are recommended.

Warrant Records in Beaver County

Active warrants in Beaver County are public records. The state's warrant search portal at secure.utah.gov/warrants allows anyone to search for active warrants by name. Warrant records include the subject's name, the date of issuance, the type of warrant (arrest, bench, or search), the offense, the issuing authority, bail or bond information, the case number, and the current status.

Bench warrants are issued when someone fails to appear in court. Arrest warrants are issued when law enforcement has probable cause to detain an individual. Both types appear in Beaver County criminal records and can affect a person's status in court proceedings. If you believe a warrant has been issued in your name, contact the Beaver County Sheriff's Office or the 5th District Court directly.

Inmate Search and VINE Tracking for Beaver County

The VINE inmate tracking system allows users to monitor the custody status of inmates held in Beaver County facilities. VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) sends automated alerts when an inmate's status changes, such as a release or transfer. This service is free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

To use VINE, you need the inmate's name or ID number. The system then provides current custody status and can send notifications by phone, email, or text message. This is especially useful for victims of crime who want to stay informed about an offender's status. The Beaver County Jail is located at the same address as the Sheriff's Office: 2270 South Sheriff Dale E. Nelson Drive, Beaver, UT 84713.

Expungement of Beaver County Criminal Records

Individuals with a criminal history in Beaver County may be eligible to have certain records expunged. Expungement removes or seals a criminal record from public view. Utah's expungement process is managed through the courts, and information about eligibility and steps is available on the Utah Courts expungement page.

Not all criminal records qualify for expungement. Serious felonies, sex offenses, and cases with specific outcomes may be ineligible. The BCI reviews expungement petitions and makes recommendations to the court. Once granted, an expunged record is no longer accessible to the general public through standard criminal records searches. The Beaver County Courthouse can provide guidance on filing an expungement petition for cases originating in the 5th District Court.
