What This Resource Provides
No genuine full warrant search tool - official site confirmed to only host a "Most Wanted" list, not a general name-searchable warrant database (New Hanover County, NC results were false matches). Sheriff fallback. | 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.
