Answer:
In Arkansas, individuals acquitted of charges can petition for expungement under Ark. Code § 16-90-904. If granted, the court orders the records to be sealed. However, the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) may still retain certain records for law enforcement purposes, even if they are sealed. This is particularly relevant for cases involving acquittals, as the law allows for law enforcement access to certain information despite the expungement. The main exception to this is for sex offenses involving minors. If your record shows the charges despite expungement, it may be due to the ACIC's regulations regarding access to sealed records for law enforcement.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
