Iberville Parish 72 Hour Booking Records
Iberville Parish 72 hour booking records document arrests processed through the parish jail in Plaquemine. The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office manages the jail and handles all booking intake for the area. With a population of about 32,500, this is a smaller parish along the west bank of the Mississippi River. Booking records are searchable online through LAVINE and the Public Safety Suite Pro system. The 18th Judicial District Court has jurisdiction over criminal cases in the parish, and all arrests here feed into that court system after the initial 72 hour booking window.
Iberville Parish Quick Facts
Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office and Jail
The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency for the parish. Their office is at 58050 Meriam Street in Plaquemine. The jail sits at a separate address on Bayou Road. Both play a direct role in how 72 hour booking records get made.
After an arrest, the person is brought to the jail at 59605 Bayou Road for processing. Staff collect fingerprints, take photos, and log all charge information into the booking system. This creates the booking record. The whole intake process usually takes a few hours, depending on how busy the jail is that day. Once the data is in the system, it becomes searchable through online tools.
For mailing purposes, use P.O. Box 449, Plaquemine, LA 70765. This is the address to use for written records requests. If you need quick info, call the main office at (225) 687-5100 or the jail at (225) 687-3553. Staff can look up whether someone is currently in custody and share basic booking details over the phone.

Online Booking Search Tools
Iberville Parish booking records can be searched through two online tools. LAVINE is the statewide system. Public Safety Suite Pro is the other option.
The LAVINE roster at Iberville.LAVINE.org shows who is currently in the Iberville Parish jail. It also shows recent bookings. You can search by name or browse the full list. Each entry shows charges, booking date, and custody status. A green checkmark next to a name means VINE alerts are available for that inmate.
Public Safety Suite Pro is a separate system some parishes use for jail management. It can show active inmates and booking data. Access may vary, but the LAVINE roster is always available as a reliable backup. Both tools are free to use and do not need a login.
If you want custody change alerts, go to vinelink.com and register for VINE notifications. This is free. You get a call, text, or email when the person's status changes. This is especially useful if you are a victim of a crime and want to know when the person who was booked gets released.
Requesting Iberville Parish Booking Records
Louisiana law makes booking records public. Under La. R.S. 44:1, anyone can request these records. You do not need to be a lawyer or a family member. You do not have to say why you want them.
Send a written request to the sheriff's office at P.O. Box 449, Plaquemine, LA 70765. Include the full name of the person and any dates you have. The office has three business days to respond under state law. Most booking lookups are handled faster than that, especially if the record is recent.
In person, go to 58050 Meriam Street in Plaquemine. Bring ID. Tell the clerk what you need and they can pull up the record. Copies may cost a small fee. Certified copies cost more. For basic info like whether someone is in custody and what the charges are, a phone call to (225) 687-5100 is usually the quickest route.
The 72 hour rule comes from La. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 230.1. It says that an arrested person must appear before a judge within 72 hours. This hearing determines if there is enough cause to hold the person. Without it, the person can seek release. The booking record from that initial arrest stays in the system regardless of what happens at the hearing.
What Booking Records Contain
An Iberville Parish booking record lists the person's full name, date of birth, and the date and time they were booked. Charges are spelled out with statute numbers. Bond amounts are listed once a judge sets them. The arresting agency is noted too, whether that was the sheriff's office, Plaquemine PD, or state police.
Physical details may be part of the record. Height, weight, race, and hair color are common fields. Mugshots are sometimes available through the online tools. Remember that a booking record only shows an arrest. It is not proof of guilt. Court records from the 18th Judicial District handle trials and outcomes.
State Resources
Several state tools can help with record searches beyond the parish level. The Louisiana DOC offender search at doc.la.gov covers people who have gone to state prison. That is a different system from the parish jail records.
The Louisiana State Police handle background checks and maintain criminal history data. The court system at lasc.org connects to district courts across the state. For Iberville Parish, the 18th Judicial District Court is where cases go after the booking and initial hearing.
If your records request gets denied, you can contact the state attorney general's office. Louisiana's constitution protects the right to public records under Article 12, Section 3. The custodian of records (in this case the sheriff's office) carries the burden of proving why a record should not be released.
Nearby Parishes
Iberville Parish borders several other parishes. If you are not sure where an arrest took place, check the neighboring parish where the stop or incident happened.
