What This Resource Provides
Confirmed genuine - the News-Progress hosts and maintains the official Moultrie County Sheriff's Department website at no cost to the county; page lists real named individuals with warrant issue dates and charges, functioning as the Sheriff's official warrant/most-wanted list. | 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.
