You can search it in your states website. I believe you can even go to the court house and check. I would check your states website or counties first though.

There are public records available from the courts, and sherriffs office and jails where the records are held. These days a lot of that info is on the web, it is just that you have to find the website of the court, find the website for the sherrifs ofice and so on. The people who charge for background checks are charging because this is what they do. They go through all sorts of different databases and complie the info. Its work. So if you want free do the leg work yourself. Start by listing all the towns this person is know to have lived in. Then find the names of the courts in that jurisdiction, and the names of the police dept or sherrif ofice, and try to find their website. Most have websites these days, but if not call them on  the phone and ask for the procedure for viewing public records.

You would just need to contact the sheriff (or police dept if it happened in town) and ask for it.  It is public record as long as he was not a minor at the time.

You can go to the courthouse. They should have that information available to anyone. I doubt they put it online.

Googling might work...also, if memory serves, some of the indiana judicial records can be viewed online.  Depends on what county and I'm not sure if they go back that far.  You can always check.

This can be difficult, as there is no one complete archive of court records.  There is probably not even a record of where the records are!\n\nYou are best off starting at the local courts where you think the matter might have been heard.  This will be especially the case for civil matters.

You can call the police department that arrested the individual and see if they can direct you to the correct jail.  See if they have the number or website of that specific jail.  If they give you the website you can probably do a search of the individual on-line.

go to the courthouse where his conviction is. It'll prob cost you $20 and you might have some issues getting it due to privacy issues or you'll fill out some paperwork stating your reason.

you know you should report this to the police or go to the bank and ask them for his records and maybe find his home

What did this person do before they met you? Were they in trouble? They had to do something for the department of corrections to have a record on them. Records are not made up.

Try looking for the Georgia Department of Corrections website.  Sometimes they'll have a way that you can look for someone that is incarcerated as long as you know their name and number.  \n\nGood luck in your search.

Normally the city you live in or the county has a web site where you can find out if a person is in custody. There on the web site , they will give the reason he is charged.

Depending on the the crime involved, there are 3 different courts for you to choose from at the links for forth below.  For state law misdemeanors, use the first link.  For state law felonies, use the second link.  For federal charges, use the third link.\n\nIt doesn't look like the state court has records available online.  Some federal court offer records online for a fee.  Follow the instructions using the links below.
