What is the difference between court records and arrest records?

Court records are maintained by the court clerk and the OSBI.  This information includes the crimes that a person is charged with, the resolution of the case, and all the pleadings and filings during the case.  Arrest records are maintained by the arresting agencies and the OSBI, this information includes the crimes that a person is arrested for, not necessarily the same crimes that they are charged with by the district attorney.
