Because active warrants do not come with a fixed validity period, performing an arrest warrant search in Lee County, SC, to get a personal background report or to dig out dirt on somebody you know can do you a world of good. If you are interested in finding out about instances of identity theft that may have led to the issue of an active warrant in your name, such an inquiry will certainly help because you will also get details on past arrest records.

On the other hand, if you have had a less than pristine past, you can get your attorney to look for outstanding warrants from Lee County in your name, which should be dealt with expeditiously. For inquiries that are conducted to look into the criminal involvement of third parties, the results of the inquiry will contain enough meat for you to make an informed decision of whether to forge ties with this person or not.

A list of the agencies that entertain requests for information on warrants and arrests has been given below, along with their contact details. Of these departments, the magistrate’s court and the police will charge a small fee for undertaking the search. On the other hand, you will have to pay the county clerk’s office only if you need printed copies of the results.

It should also be mentioned here that the office of the clerk of court maintains the repository of the court dockets for all tribunals in the area. So, when you search their database with the public service terminals available in the justice center, you are likely to find information on the criminal and civil cases initiated against the subject. For your warrant search, you can go to:

  • The sheriff’s: 113 Gregg St, Bishopville, South Carolina 29010
  • The magistrate’s: 11 Court House Square, Bishopville, SC 29010
  • The county clerk’s: PO Box 387, Bishopville, South Carolina 29010-0387
