A private site, not a government service. This website is privately owned. It is not affiliated with any government body, sheriff's office, jail, or corrections department, and neither the site nor its advertising partners offer services covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, such as credit checks, employment screening, insurance decisions, or tenant screening. The site is a reference guide to Butler County and Alabama arrest-record resources. It is not a private investigation firm and not a consumer reporting agency.
What This Website Is
Butler County Recent Arrests is a private reference site with no ties to any government office. It stores no official records, and it cannot confirm custody status, release anyone, or file documents with a court or a clerk.
What it does is point you in the right direction: toward the Butler County offices that hold booking and court records, toward the state and federal locators that cover other custody systems, and toward third-party search tools that may return records for a fee.

We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not produce background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports, and neither do its advertising partners. By using the site, you agree not to use its information for the purposes below:

Links to Outside Sites
The site links to jail and court resources, sheriff and corrections pages, state and federal portals, and third-party search services. We do not run those destinations and are not responsible for their content, their data handling, or their uptime. Read their terms before relying on them.
No Warranties
Everything on the site is provided as is, with no guarantees of any kind. That includes the points below:
- Accuracy, completeness, or currency of any detail
- Uninterrupted access to the site
- Freedom from errors, bugs, or security holes
- Thoroughness of any partner tool's search results
Custody status and public records change constantly, especially in a county where the official answer comes by phone. Nothing here is an official statement from a sheriff's office, a jail, or any government agency.
