The Lincoln County Most Wanted Program
The sheriff selects which cases appear on the Lincoln County Most Wanted list, so the page is a program reference rather than a warrant registry. Verify anything you see there before acting on it.

Lincoln County Tip Channels Are Not Clearance Channels
The sheriff's crime-tip form takes a required message plus an optional email and uploads, with a published 20 MB total limit. Email is not secure, the page warns. The form is not monitored around the clock. The local tip line is 601-823-0150. Emergencies belong with 911, and sheriff non-emergency calls go to 601-833-5231. Nothing on that page clears anyone. The Lincoln County program posts no reward amount, selection standard, posting cadence, or claim that its list is complete. Mississippi DPS runs a separate statewide Most Wanted and Crime Stoppers route at 1-888-8CRIMES, which is not a Lincoln County roster either. Neither tip channel can ask a court to recall a warrant or set up an appearance; that work belongs to the issuing court.
Lincoln County List Verification
A sheriff disclaimer warns that listings may be inaccurate or outdated and offers a way to report errors. A missing name proves nothing about a warrant. For your own status, the issuing court is the proper source, and an attorney can advise on safe next steps. The official crime-tip page gives the safe reporting channel.
The form is for tips, not emergencies, personal warrant confirmation, or court clearance.
