Augusta County Has No Public Most-Wanted Roster
The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office does not publish a countywide public warrant-name search or an official most-wanted roster in the sources reviewed. No County warrant roundup, amnesty week, or local Crime Stoppers warrant page was verified. A search result or social post should not be treated as proof that someone has an active warrant.
For current public information, use the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office contact channels and the court holding the case. This page does not reproduce names, images, or an unofficial list.
Augusta County Sheriff Contact for Warrant Questions
The Sheriff’s Office is at 127 Lee Highway, Verona, VA 24482; the published main telephone is (540) 245-5333 and fax is (540) 245-5330. Its public window lists essential personnel available around the clock, but that does not mean staff can instantly clear a warrant or give legal advice. Ask whether the question concerns the court case, a service record, or a request for a copy.
For a warrant’s legal status, contact the issuing court. The Sheriff’s contact can confirm what its own agency records show and direct a records request when appropriate.

How an Official Wanted Entry Should Be Read
Wanted-person postings are agency notices, not court judgments. When an official agency publishes a notice, it may reflect a priority investigation or a process the agency is seeking to serve. A person’s name may be removed after an arrest, surrender, correction, or court action; agencies control their own update timing.
Note: A wanted notice can lag court action, and absence from a public list does not prove that no warrant exists; verify directly with the responsible agency.
Virginia State Police Wanted Persons Is Statewide
The Virginia State Police wanted-persons page is a statewide law-enforcement resource. It is not a full census of Augusta warrants, and inclusion does not establish guilt. Use it only as an official source for the notice it actually publishes, then follow the listed agency’s contact instructions.
Do not copy names or photographs from a statewide page into an informal county list. County case status remains a question for the issuing clerk and the agency responsible for service.
How to Share Warrant Information Safely
No Augusta County Crime Stoppers warrant channel or reward was verified. For urgent danger call 911. For non-emergency information, the Sheriff’s Office offers an official crime-report form and tips email; use those channels for information they accept, not to seek a guaranteed anonymous warrant reward. Do not send details to unofficial accounts.
- For an immediate threat, call 911 and give the location and facts you observed.
- For a non-emergency lead, use the official agency contact or the Sheriff’s report-a-crime channel.
- Do not confront, follow, detain, or publish someone’s personal details based on a suspected warrant.
- Keep any report reference number and follow the agency’s instructions for additional information.
Key Point: No local anonymity or reward promise is established here. Report through an official contact and let officers assess the information.
Augusta Warrant Service Counts Are Not a List
County annual reports document service activity. In 2025, Augusta reported 5,541 criminal warrants and 2,286 capias served; in 2024 it reported 5,300 warrants and 2,039 capias. Those figures describe completed service during a period, not open orders or a wanted-person roster.
A local news report or annual statistic cannot tell whether a specific warrant remains active. The court and Sheriff’s Office hold different parts of that answer.
Augusta Crime Tips Are Not Warrant Clearance
The Sheriff’s public report-a-crime form and tips email let a member of the public share information with the agency. They do not verify a court order, provide a case result, or promise a reward. The form is not monitored continuously; the Sheriff directs emergency callers to 911.
For a case status question, use the issuing clerk. For information about an official wanted notice, contact the agency named by that notice and let officers assess the lead.
Sheriff’s official report-a-crime instructionsMost-Wanted Notice Versus Active Warrant
An active warrant is a court process or order that has not been cleared in the issuing record. A most-wanted notice is a separate agency publication and may cover only selected cases. Augusta does not publish a countywide public roster for either category, so direct confirmation is essential.
| Feature | Most Wanted List | Active Warrant |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Selected cases if an agency publishes them | Any outstanding process in the issuing record |
| Public source | Official agency notice, when available | Court record and law-enforcement service record |
| Augusta County source | No public county roster verified | No public Sheriff name-search portal |
| Next step | Follow official agency notice instructions | Confirm with issuing clerk and responsible agency |
Augusta FOIA Requests Do Not Replace Confirmation
A narrowly framed records request can seek a public record held by the Sheriff, but it is not a method to obtain an immediate warrant-status ruling. The Sheriff accepts requests at its NextRequest FOIA portal, by email at sherifffoia@co.augusta.va.us, fax, mail, phone, or in person. Identify the record, event, and date range as specifically as possible.
Virginia FOIA generally requires an initial response within five working days when more time is needed; fees may reflect staff search and copying time. Active investigations and other protected material can be withheld. For urgent case status, contact the court rather than waiting for a records request.
If You Think an Augusta Warrant Names You
Contact a Virginia lawyer or the court listed in the case information to confirm whether an order exists and what bond or appearance conditions apply. The Sheriff’s public contact can address its own service record, but it cannot determine guilt or substitute for legal advice. Do not rely on absence from a list as clearance.
Important: Ask counsel or the issuing clerk to verify the order and arrange any appearance or surrender; an online post may be incomplete or outdated.
