How booking works in Pinellas County
A person arrested in St. Petersburg, Clearwater or elsewhere in Pinellas County is booked into the Pinellas County Jail, run by the Department of Detention and Corrections of the Sheriff's Office. Who's in Jail covers people in custody and people released within the last 30 days. For older arrests, use the court records search of the Clerk.
An arrest is not a conviction. Charges may have been dropped, dismissed or resulted in acquittal.
What Florida law says about booking photos
Florida treats booking records as public records, and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office publishes current and recently released inmates online. The rules for publishers of booking photos are set out on the Florida page.
Booking photos appear only where state law allows commercial display and the source provides them.
Search a name in Pinellas County
Who's in Jail keeps a person for 30 days after release, so a recent arrest in St. Petersburg or Clearwater still appears there, and an older one is found in the Court Records search of the Clerk. Both cover Pinellas County only. An arrest in Hillsborough or Pasco County is booked by that county. If you do not know the county, search the name with the state set to Florida. The full report shows the records it finds, each with its source and date.
