What This Resource Provides
Sheriff Todd Forbes. Site has an 'Active Most Wanted List' page and 'Wanted Wednesday' features on social media. Daily arrest logs also published. | CORRECTED: prior URL was a curated Most Wanted / wanted-persons list, not a live name-searchable warrant-status tool. A person's absence from a Most Wanted list does not mean no warrant exists - most outstanding warrants (failure to appear, bench warrants, minor charges) never appear on these lists. Swapped to general Sheriff site; phone/in-person contact is the reliable way to check warrant status.
