Pine County Arrest Records

Arrest records are public in Pine County. Minnesota Statute 13.82 makes arrest data available to anyone. The time, date, location, and charges are all public information. Booking photos are public under subdivision 26 of the same law. You can request this data from the Sheriff's Office in person, by phone, or by written request.

Criminal history data is handled by the BCA at the state level. The free database at cch.state.mn.us shows conviction records for 15 years after a sentence is done. That rule comes from Statute 13.87. Arrests that did not lead to a conviction are classified as private data and will not show up in the public BCA search.

Records sealed through the expungement process are no longer public. Under Chapter 609A, certain offenses can be expunged after a waiting period. Misdemeanors need two years clean. Gross misdemeanors need three. Felonies range from four to five years depending on the offense. Once granted, the record disappears from all public databases.
