does anyone know of a searchable database of criminal laws online thats free? the only thing i am finding is the revised codes and that is not helping.

I would recomment the Legal Information Institute available through Cornell University Law School's library. Click here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/search/

It depends on your state, but most states put the criminal code online for free. On Ohio, and I assume most other states, the Revised Code contains the criminal law as well (in Ohio its Title 29 of the Ohio Revised Code.) Most criminal laws are simply codified from old common law, so most states have the same offenses, however levels of offense and sentences may differ. If you found your state's revised code, see if there is a table of contents or index and then look for "Crimes and Procedures" or something to that effect.
