Checking for a Warrant in Jonestown
Jonestown offers no online warrant check, so plan on the phone. The steps below run from Jonestown out to the county.
- Call the Jonestown clerk at 662-358-4328 and ask who holds the municipal court docket.
- Give the citation number and date, and ask what the Jonestown docket shows.
- Ask whether the matter was Jonestown-issued or county-issued before going further.
- Call the county Justice Court clerk at 662-624-3060 if the answer points to a county case.
- Call the sheriff at 662-624-3085 for routing when neither office can identify the file.
No Public Jonestown Warrant Search Page
Jonestown has no police department website. There is no municipal court page, no searchable Jonestown docket, and no online citation lookup; the town's presence in official material is a directory entry. Treat this as an access gap and nothing more. A blank web search says nothing about whether a case exists, so no one should read it as a clean result.
Jonestown Police and Municipal Court
Mississippi municipal courts hear city ordinances, misdemeanors, and traffic matters. Their judges can also conduct initial appearances and bond functions. Jonestown operates inside that framework, though the current Jonestown judge and police leadership are not published online.

Calling Jonestown Town Hall About a Warrant
Small offices like Jonestown's answer specific questions better than broad ones.
- Who keeps the municipal court docket in Jonestown
- Does this citation number appear in the city file
- Was anything entered after the court date I missed
- Does the judge want an appearance, a payment, or a motion
- What written confirmation can I receive once it is handled

| City ordinance case | A local ordinance charge | Town clerk |

Jonestown Warrant Checks by the Numbers
Population rank explains why Jonestown has a clerk rather than a records department.
The counts come from the Census incorporated place table. That table ranks Mississippi towns by a single vintage rather than older directory figures.

How Jonestown Warrants Fit the County System
Start with the Jonestown court. County court comes next if the case was appealed or county-issued, and then the state and federal layers no local clerk can reach. County Court hears criminal appeals from municipal courts. Its staff can be reached at 662-624-3036. Circuit Court handles felony matters.

Helping a Jonestown Relative With a Warrant
The cleanest Jonestown approach is a joint one. Put the person on the call. Or get their permission in a form the clerk will accept, since a small office may decline to share details with anyone else.
Careful: Do not post a relative's citation, birth date, or case details online while trying to get help finding the right office.
Jonestown Warrant Records and Public Access
State law reaches Jonestown records just as it reaches Coahoma County records, carve-outs and all.
Key Rules:
Miss. Code § 25-61-5 - Public records are open to inspection and copying, and a written denial must name the exemption.
Miss. Code § 25-61-12 - Investigative reports and private details can be withheld while public portions are released.
Ask for segregable portions rather than an entire file, which a small Jonestown office can process faster.
