The Jefferson County Most Wanted Program
Jefferson County does not publish a complete online warrant roster. The useful route is to identify the issuing court, contact its clerk, and ask what nonexempt record or status information is available for your own matter. Justice Court handles county citations and felony initial appearances, while Circuit Court handles felony cases after indictment. Fayette Municipal Court handles city-limit traffic and ordinance matters. The Sheriff can route questions about service, but its published number is a general line rather than a dedicated warrant desk.
The PACER pricing page concerns federal dockets and helps mark the boundary between federal court research and Mississippi's public-safety program.
It is not a Jefferson County warrant list or a Crime Stoppers tip channel.

- Identify whether the matter began in Fayette Municipal Court, Jefferson County Justice Court, or Circuit Court.
- Gather your full name, case or citation number if known, and the issuing agency.
- Call the relevant clerk and ask whether the process is active, recalled, served, or returned.
- If the court is unclear, call the Sheriff at 601-786-3403 for routing help.
Key Point: [15-40 word callout - tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward; the safest action is to report and step back, never to confront or pursue a wanted person.]
