Finding Forrest County Arrest Records and Warrants

Forrest County arrest records reveal the instances in which a person was apprehended by the local police. Warrants are issued against a person who is believed to have committed a crime that justifies an arrest. Neither indicates guilt which can only be established in court.

How can you inquire about a person incarceration history?

It’s quite simple. The sheriff maintains a webpage which displays Forrest County arrest records from 2016 plus an inquiry tool for locating a detainee by name. To deepen your inquiry, go to the online offender search managed by the state’s Department of Corrections. It can be used to trace MS arrest records based on an inmate name or an ID number.

Searching for Forrest County warrants

Information on the county’s fugitives and wanted people can be obtained from the Warrant Division at the sheriff office (Telephone: 601-544-7800. 55 Arena Dr, Hattiesburg, Mississippi 39401). You will not find an official data bank online, so your investigation must be performed in person assisted by the sheriff’s staff.

Revealing a person’s prior convictions

Forrest County court records are needed to find out if a person has prior convictions. Go to the office of the Circuit Clerk (630 Main Street, Hattiesburg, MS 39401, phone: 601-582-3213) and file a FOIA request to view criminal cases. Or alternatively, use the Mississippi search services offered on this site. By typing a person name, you will get accurate and up to date reports revealing Forrest County arrest records, a person's past convictions, police data, dockets released by the court, active warrants and more. In fact, you instantly get all that is required for a full-scale criminal record check. Searches are 100% anonymous. A small fee will be required.
