There is a way to get free criminal information, but you are going to have to do a bit of research if you really do not want to pay for it.  Most jails have websites.  If you know the county where the person was arrested, just go to the site and look them up.  Also, try going to the court house in the county of arrest.  The have docket books with indictments and dates.  Finally, check the DA record's office.  You can get specific information pertaining to indictments, arrests and convictions.   A lot of leg work, but it's free.

you can go to the people finders and they look for them by social security, arrest records, credit apps, court files, utilities in their names, it costs a little, but if you  really want to find someone it is worth it. I use KNowx, it will tell you stuff from about 9 years back, family, friends, neighbors, all address stuff like that. \nBut if they really don't want someone to find them, they have probably changed their name, and could be using bogus SS numbers, I have searched for people for a lawyer, we were successful at finding them about 75% of the time\nGood Luck

look up the corrections site for your state, it usually has records of current criminals for free. Michigan does, but I noticed colorado doesn't so It will depend on your state.

Are you sure he was charged with state, or was it federal?  If he pled out, or snitched out someone else, his records might be sealed and only available through NCIC access.   Most of the internet sites will charge you to look.   You can go to the local courthouse yourself, if the crime wasn't too old, and do some research on your own.

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.

Many states have public records available either online or by written request. A lot of the information is FREE!  \n\nFirst, check your County government website for public records.  Here you may find information pertaining to mortgages, divorces, criminal or legal filings. \n\nSecond, check out your state's Department of Corrections, Department of Law Enforcement and Sexual Predators listing.  You can sometimes find listings and photographs listed in a database.  \n\nMost time you can search by name and location but each state has different laws pertaining to what is considered a public document.  Like I said, some information is free but some will cost a little bit.  What's the price you are willing to put on your peace of mind?   \n\nPersonally, I'd research the governmental records myself rather than paying someone else to look up the same information from the same databases.  \n\nGood Luck!
