Chancery and Family Process
The Chancery Clerk page identifies its separate records offices.
Divorce, custody, and support cases sit outside the municipal docket in Pearl River County. The Chancery Court page lays out that family and child-support jurisdiction.
Ask that court about its own process and access limits.
Checking for a Warrant in Poplarville
Match the office to the venue first. Pearl River County cases split across three numbers. The Circuit Clerk criminal desk answers 601-403-2324 for Circuit or County criminal matters. Justice Court takes county traffic and misdemeanor calls at 601-403-2572.
- Write down the agency, city, date, and court named on any paper.
- Give the clerk the case or citation number.
- Ask for the exact current status and next setting.
- Call the sheriff at 601-403-2340 for service routing.
- Seek a defined written record when needed.
Poplarville Police and Municipal Court
Pearl River County's sheriff page lists a Warrants & Extraditions division but posts no public name search. The jail directory routes warrant questions through 601-403-2538. When you call, ask whether the office confirms warrant status or only coordinates service. Request the issuing court and cause number either way. The sheriff's official page shows the division and county contacts.
The clerk page helps separate criminal court records from sheriff service records.
Poplarville Warrant Types
Pearl River County publishes no search form with required fields. Local court instructions still tell you what details make a warrant check by phone useful.
| Field | Where used | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Full legal name and birth date | Clerk or sheriff call | No public online field exists |
| Case or citation number | Picayune and court files | Format varies by court |
| Ticket date | Poplarville traffic payment | Payment is not a warrant search |
| City and agency | Venue selection | Confirm the actual filing court |
Traffic Payment Is Not a Warrant Search
Picayune posts no case status online. The FAQ says so plainly. Call Municipal Court at 601-798-9773, option 1, with the case or citation number. An upcoming-docket link can show a setting, but a Pearl River County warrant check still needs the court to rule out an active warrant.
Inside a Poplarville Warrant Record
Ask the clerk to read the status language itself. In a Pearl River County warrant record, issued, returned, lifted, recalled, and a future setting each mark a different event.
| Court | The judge and office controlling the case |
|---|---|
| Process | Arrest warrant, bench warrant, capias, or summons |
| Bond | Amount and release type, if set |
| Dates | Issue, return, lift, and next hearing |
A payment receipt alone does not prove that a warrant was recalled.
Call the Poplarville Clerk Before Paying
Put the request in writing. A defined ask can target a docket entry, warrant return, or lift order under the Mississippi Public Records Act. Picayune's form wants one subject, requester contact details, a delivery choice, and a signature, and it warns that actual costs may be due in advance.
Write narrowly: Name the court, date range, case number, and exact record. Sealed, investigative, youth, and protected material may be withheld.
How Poplarville Warrants Fit the County System
Each office owns its own docket. The Pearl River County Circuit Clerk holds Circuit and County criminal files. Justice Court keeps county citations and lower-court cases, while the Picayune and Poplarville clerks run their municipal dockets. The sheriff handles service and custody routing countywide.

Poplarville Warrant Records and Public Access
A record you cannot see is an access problem, not proof that nothing exists. Grand-jury material may stay secret. Active investigative files may be exempt. Youth Court records are not ordinary adult public records in Pearl River County. Mississippi's MJIC and NCIC route serves authorized agencies only, so a public warrant search ends with the originating court and sheriff, never a statewide website.
