Choctaw Wanted Fugitives List
No verified most-wanted page is hosted by the Choctaw County sheriff. So there is no local count, update schedule, or county photo policy to pass along. The state fills the gap. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety Most Wanted page is the official substitute, run by DPS and MBI together. Keep in mind what it is not: a Choctaw County roster or a warrant database you can filter by county.
The statewide list shifts as entries come and go, and some page details run behind, so read it on the agency's own site rather than relying on copies. An entry can stem from a case far outside Choctaw County. Some fugitives show a captured status. Others carry an armed-and-dangerous warning.
Wanted Listing Record Fields
The DPS page earns its keep by naming exactly what each listing contains. Readers get defined fields, not a screenshot or a secondhand social post. That structure helps a person spot an official notice on sight. Still, compare identifiers with care. A shared name or a similar face is a weak basis for any conclusion about a stranger.
| Listing field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Name and photograph | The identity information DPS places on its official notice. |
| Sex, race, height, weight, eye and hair color | Physical descriptors used by the agency, not a confirmation by themselves. |
| Date of birth or age | An additional identifier that may help distinguish similar names. |
| Wanted offenses | Alleged offenses or warrant basis shown on the notice, not a conviction. |
| Last-known address | Information sometimes shown on the state notice, which should never be used to confront a person. |
| Caution or captured status | An agency safety or status note that can change and must be checked on the live official page. |
Never download or repost a listing photo. The agency keeps its notice on its own page. That page is the authoritative source. If the person named has already been booked into the county jail, local arrest records may confirm custody status. The state listing, though, is no stand-in for the court file that follows.
Use Choctaw Wanted Notices Safely
Open the live official notice first and read any caution language before doing anything else. The public's role is narrow: supply information through the proper channel. Ordinary people have no business investigating, tailing, confronting, or trying to serve a warrant themselves. Facing immediate danger? That call goes to 911, every time.
- Open the official DPS page and confirm that the listing is current rather than relying on a copied screenshot.
- Read the identity and caution details without assuming that a name match is enough.
- For information about a possible location or safety issue, use Mississippi Crime Stoppers or law enforcement.
- For a listed person who may have been booked in Choctaw County, use the county booking-record path to ask the sheriff about current local custody.
- For a warrant or court question involving a specific person, use the sheriff and clerk process below.

Choctaw Warrant Check
Choctaw County has no verified online warrant-search portal. An unofficial county landing page makes sweeping database claims that neither the sheriff nor the clerk corroborates, so treat it with skepticism. A real local check runs on two tracks. The sheriff handles active local warrants and custody questions, while the court clerk explains which case or citation records can be searched.
- Call the Choctaw County Sheriff's Office at 662-285-6129 and ask about the lawful process for checking a possible warrant or local custody.
- For circuit matters, contact Circuit Clerk Amy Burdine at P.O. Box 34, Ackerman, MS 39735, 662-285-6245.
- For justice-court matters, contact Choctaw County Justice Court at 140 Jail House Road, Ackerman, MS 39735, 662-285-3599.
- Ask whether the case can be checked through Mississippi Electronic Courts/PAMEC, recognizing that registration, fees, and case limits apply.
- If the question concerns your own legal position, contact a lawyer or the court about lawful procedure rather than relying on a public-list result.
A warrant can sit active even when the person is not in county custody. It might be served, recalled, or superseded. It could even belong to another county. Court records and agency custody records can therefore disagree in both scope and timing. Ask the sheriff and the clerk what their own systems can actually confirm.
Choctaw Warrant Record Types
Warrant vocabulary maps different moments in a case. A warrant is lawful authorization tied to an arrest or another action. A capias is court process. It can follow a missed appearance or a failure to comply. Mittimus and commitment describe the authority behind a jail record. Each term's precise effect turns on the case and the court.
| Record term | Local meaning for a check |
|---|---|
| Arrest warrant | Ask the sheriff or clerk whether the agency can confirm its current status. |
| Capias or bench process | Ask the court clerk about the case, court status, and lawful next step. |
| Jail commitment or mittimus | Part of the authority a public jail docket may record after custody begins. |
| Booking record | County intake history, not proof that every warrant issue is still active. |
| Court disposition | The later official outcome, which may change how an charge is understood. |
None of these categories invite do-it-yourself resolution. Someone who suspects a warrant exists should ask the court, the sheriff, or counsel which procedure applies. A public listing never shows every possible warrant. It also cannot replace official confirmation of a current status.
Choctaw Crime Stoppers Tips
Mississippi Crime Stoppers is the official anonymous tip route. The number is 1-888-8CRIMES, or 1-888-827-4637. An online P3 option is available through the Crime Stoppers page. Tips can be anonymous. No Choctaw-specific reward policy has been verified, so assume nothing about payout amounts.

Emergency or immediate danger: call 911
Hand the information over. Let trained personnel weigh it. Do not use an app, a social post, or a tip line to harass anyone named in a notice. An anonymous tip does not guarantee a public update or a verified case status.
Choctaw Sheriff App Notices
Choctaw County residents can stay in the loop through the sheriff office's Android app. The Google Play listing points to public-safety news, community resources, and crime reporting. WCBI's coverage adds detail. It mentions alerts, press releases, jail information, and an anonymous tip option. Neither description promises a warrant database or a wanted-photo roster, so treat the app as a news channel rather than a search tool. In an emergency, it still can't replace a 911 call.
The app listing and the sheriff's social media profile are the right places for current notices. Have a specific warrant question? Go straight to the sheriff or the court. One caveat deserves mention: the listing's last noted update came in 2021, so confirm the features before counting on them.
Choctaw Warrant Safety
A wanted notice exists to keep the public informed. Some entries from the DPS carry an armed-and-dangerous flag. That flag means extra caution, not citizen action. Never approach, follow, or try to detain anyone on a fugitive list. If danger is immediate, call 911. For anything less urgent, Crime Stoppers or local law enforcement will take the information.
Someone named on a warrant has a safer path than waiting for a knock at the door. Call the clerk, the sheriff, or a defense lawyer and ask about the proper court process. Resolving the matter through the court is the outcome everyone should be working toward.
Choctaw Court Warrant Followup
Every warrant inquiry should land with the office that actually holds the record. Deputies can explain how the sheriff handles a local active warrant or a custody question, but they can't give legal advice. The court clerk is the one who can tell you whether a case or citation file exists and how to view it, whether in person, through PAMEC, or by another route. Bring what you know: the name, the court, a rough date, and a case number if you have one. Similar names cause mismatches more often than people expect.
Know which office handles what. The Circuit Clerk and Justice Court cover different case types, and the Justice Court citation portal is not a full criminal search. PAMEC requires registration and may charge fees. Sealed or restricted files may not show up at all. If a record lists a capias, an old charge, or a status you can't read, ask the clerk whether the entry is still active or was recalled, served, resolved, or replaced. A search result alone won't tell you a warrant's current status.
A local booking adds another layer. The jail docket tracks intake, release, discharge, or transfer, while the court file carries the case itself. Two records, two jobs.
