Business owners and other professionals use this information to determine who is a likely job candidate for their company or a good babysitter for their kids.

All their criminal, court, and personal records will show up for you to view. Some documents are kept private, but you can see the basic information associated with them.

“There is a public records search option on the website of any county courthouse in this state. You’ll enter the name of the person in question. All their criminal, court, and personal records will show up for you to view.” While there is a search function, it is not as specific as this statement makes it appear. It is actually nothing more than a keyword search which could give you thousands of results that have nothing to do with the person you are searching for and absolutely nothing that is relevant. For example, if you are searching for the record of someone named John Smith, your results will include every record that contains the word John as well as every record that contains the word Smith. And, even though you are instructed to quotes (i.e., “John Smith”) for exact results, adding quotes does not change the results.
Jeff, we ran a West Virginia court record search and did not find anything recent or any arrest records. If this is an ongoing WV court case then it will not be public record until there is a sentencing. You might consider contacting the relevant WV courthouse to inquire about any court case information.
