What do I do if I think I have a warrant for my arrest?
Turn yourself in! We will find you eventually one way or another. Why be in fear every time you hear a siren? You can also call our warrant section at 384-7971 and ask if you have a warrant and what the bond is. Most courts will work with you if you turn yourself in but do not have all of the bond. It is much better to turn yourself in, than for a Deputy to find you and bring you in wearing handcuffs!
