Some records are closed by law. When charges get dismissed, no charges are filed within 30 days, or a not guilty verdict is handed down, the arrest record closes.

Active investigation files are also closed until the case becomes inactive.
Webster County agencies must respond to Sunshine Law requests in three business days. Copies are $0.10 per page. For statewide checks, use the MSHP Criminal Records and Identification Division or go through MACHS online.
