Arrested for Drunk Driving in Michigan (MI): What These Records Mean

This page is a public index of DUI records and other criminal records in Michigan, organized by county.
If you’re researching drunk driving in the state of Michigan, start here and then verify details
using the official court and police resources listed below.

What you’re viewing: arrest entries compiled from police blotters and other public records at the state and county level.
Important: an arrest is not the same as a conviction. Charges can be amended, dismissed, or resolved later.
When available, a record may include bond information, the arresting agency (often the sheriff),
and report or case references.

1) What information is typically shown in a Michigan DUI arrest entry?

Entries vary by county and source, but commonly include:

Name and location (city or county).
Arrest date and sometimes the arresting agency.
Charges as listed in public records.
Bond amount or release conditions, if reported.
In some cases, references that help request police records, case numbers, or background search information.

2) Is an arrest record proof that someone is guilty?

No. An arrest record reflects allegations at the time of booking. Final outcomes are determined by the courts.
Always confirm case status using official Michigan court records.

3) Where do I verify charges, court dates, and final outcomes in Michigan?

Use Michigan’s statewide public case search. If needed, local court portals may provide additional documents and updates.

Tip: searches using a case number are usually faster and more accurate than name-only searches.

4) How do I request the actual police report (FOIA) in Michigan?

Requests should be directed to the agency that created the record (city police or county sheriff).
For Michigan State Police records, use the official FOIA portal.
