Active Warrant Search in Lexington County, South Carolina

In Lexington County, unserved warrants may be unavailable to the public because they fall under the active investigation exemptions of the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act. Hence, courts or law enforcement agencies may limit access to these records to prevent suspects from fleeing and protect ongoing investigations or proceedings. After a warrant is executed, it generally becomes publicly available.

However, while there is no designated online database for active warrants, interested persons may still contact the Clerk of Court, Sheriff’s Department, or local police departments to check if someone has warrants out for their arrest or submit tips to find fugitives. Additionally, law enforcement agencies usually provide news releases and flyers for wanted persons.
