Search Arrest, Mugshot & Inmate Records by Name
Search by name and state for arrest, booking, mugshot, inmate, jail roster, prison, criminal and court-record search categories.
Independent records-search resource. This website is not a government agency, police department, sheriff's office, jail, prison or courthouse. Search coverage varies by source and jurisdiction. Some links may lead to third-party services, and compensation may be received when a partner service is used.
Verify the Photo Before You Trust the Caption
King Von mugshots are easy to find but much harder to source correctly. Viral images are frequently cropped, reposted and separated from the booking date, agency and court case that would explain what the photograph actually represents.
The useful search starts with King Von’s legal name, Dayvon Bennett, then follows the claimed photograph through Chicago Police, Cook County or Fulton County records rather than relying on a fan-made arrest count or image collage.
What Can Actually Be Verified?
No “31 arrests” or “36 arrests” claim appears on this page. Current SERP pages repeat several conflicting viral totals. A responsible record guide should verify individual booking events rather than convert fan-made photo counts into a criminal-history claim.
King Vin vs King Von vs Dayvon Bennett
The spelling matters because search engines understand nicknames better than many government databases do.
| Name | Best use | Search caution |
|---|---|---|
| King Von | News, music coverage, web searches and public discussion | Government systems may not index the stage name |
| Dayvon Bennett | Police, court and government-record searches | Check middle-name or initial variations if supported |
| King Vin | Typo/search variation only | Can create unrelated “King” or “Von” results |
The U.S. Department of Justice identifies Dayvon Bennett as “King Von” in federal case background discussing events after his death. That provides a reliable government-source bridge between the legal and stage names.
How to Verify a King Von Mugshot
Do not try to prove an image from appearance alone. Build a source trail around it.
Save the exact version you found
Note the source page, caption and date you viewed it. A cropped or edited copy may remove information visible in the original booking record.
Extract the claimed location and year
Look for Chicago, Cook County, Atlanta, Fulton County, an arresting agency or an approximate date. No location and no date means the source is weak.
Search Dayvon Bennett
Government systems are more likely to use the legal name than King Von. Test spelling variations only after the exact legal-name search.
Match the booking details
Look for arrest date, central booking number, agency, age, charge information or another record-specific identifier.
Check the court trail
A jail or police entry can establish an arrest-stage record. The court system provides later legal context and should be checked separately.
Label uncertainty accurately
If you cannot connect the photo to an agency, date and record, call it a widely circulated image rather than an officially verified booking photo.
Strong verification: legal name + jurisdiction + booking date/number + official record + compatible court context.
Chicago Police Adult Arrest Search: What It Can Show
The Chicago Police Department operates a public Adult Arrest Search. For qualifying CPD arrest records, the system can provide a name, mugshot, age, address, Central Booking Number, charges, arrest date and time, arrest location, release information from a Chicago Police facility, bond details and police geographic information.
Three Limits You Need to Know First
Why a Result Can Still Be Missing
CPD states that expunged records are removed from the public search. Its help documentation also warns that the most recent data can be delayed by several days before synchronization reaches the live system.
For a broader explanation of the CPD arrest fields, Cook County custody handoff and court follow-up, see our Chicago Police mugshot and arrest-record guide.
Do not treat “no CPD result” as proof of no arrest. The arrest could fall outside the public date range, involve another agency, have been expunged or fall outside the adult-search rules.
How to Check the Cook County Court Trail
Once a claimed Chicago booking is identified, switch from the photograph to the court record.
The Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County says its online case system can help determine the general status of historical and active cases. However, the online electronic docket contains brief summaries and is not the official court record.
What to Record Before Searching
- Dayvon Bennett as the legal name
- Approximate arrest year
- Central Booking Number if available
- Case number if available
- Chicago/Cook County jurisdiction clue
- Charge wording from the arrest record
Update lag: Cook County warns that online docket updates may take a few days. For an official record or very recent event, use the Clerk’s official record-access options rather than treating the online summary as certified evidence.
How to Research a Claimed Atlanta Booking
A historical Atlanta mugshot should not be verified from a current-jail screenshot alone. Start by matching the legal name and approximate date to Fulton County judicial records.
Use Fulton County Court eServices for the Case
The Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts provides online routes for Magistrate, State and Superior judicial record searches. Use the legal name and compare dates and case identifiers rather than searching only “King Von.”
Why the Current Jail List Is Not an Historical Archive
Fulton County’s current-inmate dataset is designed around people presently in jail and is refreshed daily. A historical booking disappearing from a current list does not disprove the older booking.
If you are researching Fulton County jail systems, booking photos or court follow-up more broadly, use our Fulton County Jail mugshot guide.
Fulton County Booking Photo Request: What the Official Form Requires
Fulton County Sheriff’s Open Records page specifically instructs requesters seeking a booking photograph to complete the county’s Booking Photo Release Affirmation Form and attach it to the request.
The PDF Is More Than a Name-and-Date Form
The one-page Sheriff’s Office affirmation asks for the requester’s name/title, signature, organization when applicable, email address and date. It also identifies the person whose booking photograph is being requested.
The Form Includes a Fee-for-Removal Affirmation
The requester affirms that the organization, employee or agent will not remove or delete the requested booking photograph from a broadcast, publication or website in exchange for payment or other consideration. The form states that this affirmation is connected to O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19(c).
The Affirmation Is Valid for One Year
The PDF states that the affirmation is valid for one year and warns that knowingly making a false statement when requesting a booking photograph can implicate O.C.G.A. § 16-10-20.
Practical point: completing the form does not mean a specific historical image is guaranteed to be available or releasable. Follow the Sheriff’s current Open Records instructions and wait for the agency’s response.
How Strong Is a King Von Mugshot Source?
| Source | Strength | What it can support |
|---|---|---|
| Original law-enforcement record | Strongest | Image identity, agency, booking date and booking details when preserved |
| Official court/government record | Strong for context | Legal name, jurisdiction, filing and case history |
| Contemporaneous reputable reporting | Useful secondary evidence | Timeline and publicly reported case context |
| Old third-party mugshot listing | Lead only | A clue to a possible booking number/date that must be independently checked |
| Reddit, Pinterest, TikTok or fan page | Weak alone | Only that an image is circulating |
| Uncaptioned collage | Very weak | No reliable arrest date or case attribution without further evidence |
Useful Search Queries for Dayvon Bennett Records
Legal-name and jurisdiction searches produce cleaner results than repeatedly typing only “King Von mugshots.”
Do not add private identifiers such as Social Security numbers or unrelated personal data to public web searches.
Why an Official Search May Not Show the Mugshot
There Are No New or Recent King Von Arrests
The U.S. Department of Justice identifies November 6, 2020 as the date of Dayvon Bennett’s death. Therefore, any King Von mugshot post published after that date is discussing an older photograph or historical record rather than a new arrest.
Mugshot Evidence vs Court Evidence
| Question | Best source |
|---|---|
| Does this appear to be a booking image? | Original arrest or booking record |
| Which arrest did the photograph belong to? | Booking date, record number and arresting agency |
| What charge was alleged at arrest? | Police or jail booking record |
| What charge was filed in court? | Court docket or Clerk |
| How did the case end? | Court disposition or official case record |
| Is a viral caption accurate? | Compare image source, booking record and court timeline |
Editorial rule: use terms such as arrested, booked, charged, dismissed, acquitted or convicted only when the relevant source supports that exact status.

Can Chicago Police records help verify a King Von mugshot?

No. The Chicago Police search is limited to people who were adults, age 18 or older, at the time of arrest.
