Leake County Warrant Searches
The Leake County Sheriff's Office posts no online warrant roster. Call (601) 267-7361, or use its Leake County Sheriff's Office page to ask who holds the file. The sheriff can route a status question, but the issuing court controls the docket and any judicial action.
- Collect the legal name, birth date, case or citation number, and likely agency.
- Ask the sheriff which court issued the process.
- Contact Justice Court, the municipal clerk, or Circuit Clerk.
- Use MyFinePayment for an eligible citation or PAMEC for a covered circuit case.
- Confirm the current result before paying, appearing, or traveling.
The Sheriff Page Is a Contact Route
The sheriff's page lists 316 C.O. Brooks Street in Carthage, weekday hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the main number. It advertises no warrant division. Nor does it list a warrant email, online roster, bond window, or surrender schedule. Ask which Leake County employee handles a personal status inquiry.
A missing online listing is not proof that no Leake County warrant exists.
What a Warrant Search Asks For
Leake County has no countywide public search form. Its Justice Court payment vendor runs a narrower citation search and asks users for two of three identifiers.
| Field | Format | Use | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last name | Text | One of three | May match several records |
| Date of birth | Date | One of three | Must match entered data |
| Citation number | Text | One of three | Citation system only |
| Case number | Clerk inquiry | Locates a court file | Not a sheriff form field |
Justice Court Covers Specific Tickets
The Justice Court page assigns the court Highway Patrol and Leake County sheriff traffic tickets, DUIs, county ordinances, misdemeanors, and felony preliminary matters, reachable at (601) 267-5677. MyFinePayment usually uploads tickets within ten days after court. It also warns that a match is not guaranteed. You stay responsible for the setting and payment, and the county does not accept personal checks. Call before treating a payment screen as a warrant-resolution instruction. That matters most when a city officer wrote the ticket.
Leake County Warrant Search Results
A confirmed Leake County file can list several identifiers, so read them together and ask the clerk what the latest entry means.
| Case identifier | A court tracking value such as court case number. |
|---|---|
| Issuing court | The office controlling settings. |
| Allegation | The stated charge, not proof of guilt. |
| Docket flag | Bench Warrant Issued, Bench Warrant Returned, or Capias Pending may appear in PAMEC. |
| Status | Requires direct confirmation because another order may follow. |
PAMEC Is Not a Statewide Warrant List
Mississippi has no single public statewide warrant search. PAMEC is a paid, read-only system for electronic courts. Leake County Circuit Court joined MEC on August 12, 2024, and public registration costs $10 annually. Each page of a search costs $0.20, and a no-match result still bills one page. Courthouse viewing is free unless limited. Copies may cost, so ask first. A flag gives context only; call the Circuit Clerk at (601) 267-8357 instead of assuming a Leake County warrant is cleared.
Leake County Warrants: Who Holds What
Justice Court keeps its citation, misdemeanor, and preliminary files in Leake County. Carthage, Walnut Grove, and Lena each handle their own municipal matters. The Circuit Clerk holds the Circuit and County Court criminal papers, Chancery Court covers family, support, and equity cases, and Youth Court files stay restricted.

Which Leake County Warrants Stay Restricted
The Mississippi Public Records Act opens agency records under reasonable procedures, costs, times, and methods. It still yields to confidentiality imposed by law, rule, decision, or order. Investigative reports may be exempt. Leake County Youth Court records involving children stay confidential except for authorized disclosure.
Sealed, juvenile, investigative, recent, and non-electronic material may be unavailable publicly.
Ask the office how to submit a written request and which fees apply. Leake County lists no warrant-record fee.
Confirm a Leake County Result
Write down the office, employee, date, case number, and instruction you receive. If a warrant may be active, talk to a Mississippi attorney before visiting. Only the issuing court can confirm a recall, reset, payment acceptance, or other resolution in Leake County. The county warrant overview maps the full office chain.
The official PAMEC registration source shows the public access route described above.
Treat any Leake County result as one part of a court-level check, then confirm the latest entry with the clerk.
