Pasquotank County’s Official Wanted List
One source stands above the rest. The Pasquotank County Most Wanted page is run by the sheriff's office. It shows an image carousel of wanted individuals. Tips that lead to an arrest can earn up to $2,000. The Crime Line number, 252-335-5555, sits right beside an anonymous web form.
The page has limits worth knowing. There is no dependable text roster with names, charges, warrant numbers, or listing dates. Some carousel slides look like placeholders. No refresh schedule or last-updated field appears either. So don't count slides as people, and don't treat the page as a map of every active Pasquotank warrant.
Questions about a listing's status go to the Sheriff's Warrants function. The live page remains the best reference for who appears on it right now.
This description reflects the August 28, 2026 research snapshot; a sheriff may change a listing without notice.
What a Pasquotank Wanted Listing Shows
The carousel shows only brief text for each person. A careful reader should note whatever fields appear there rather than filling gaps from unofficial sites.
| Possible detail | How to treat it |
|---|---|
| Photo or image | Use the image only as displayed by the official sheriff page. Do not rehost or identify a similar-looking person. |
| Name and identifying details | Match spelling and context to the official page. Do not add personal details from an aggregator. |
| Charge or warrant basis | Read it as an charge or law-enforcement basis, not a conviction. |
| Last-known information | It may be absent, incomplete or outdated. Never use it to locate someone yourself. |
| Contact instruction | Use the Sheriff’s Crime Line or anonymous form, not direct contact. |
What won't you find there? No verified warrant number. No issuing court, no per-person update date, and no stated archive policy. A screenshot or an old search result tells you almost nothing about whether a listing still stands, so treat anything cached or copied as stale until the live page says otherwise.
How to Read the Wanted Page Safely
Think of the listing as a tip generator. That is its real job. It was never built as a do-it-yourself warrant search, and it gives nobody license to confront a named individual. Spot someone? Pass it to the people with arrest authority, not to your own judgment.
- Open the official Pasquotank Most Wanted page and note the page date or your own access date.
- Read the image and any text exactly as published. Do not merge it with an aggregator entry or a news comment.
- If you recognize a person or know relevant information, use 252-335-5555 or the anonymous form. Give the agency the facts you know, not a public charge.
- Do not approach, follow, message or attempt to detain the person. Use 911 only when there is an emergency.
- For the record behind a listing, ask the Sheriff’s Warrants function or the Clerk. A local custody question belongs with Albemarle District Jail or VINE.
Different agencies handle different pieces here. The county-wide guide sorts out how the jail, the police, the courts, and the records offices each do their part. Someone listed as wanted may not be sitting in Albemarle District Jail. A VINE lookup, in turn, will not confirm every warrant out there.
Pasquotank Tips and Reward Details
Money is on the table, within limits. The official page says tips may earn up to $2,000 when the information leads to an arrest. That word "up to" matters. Not every tip earns the maximum, and no separate schedule spells out eligibility or payment terms. Send what you know through the published anonymous form or Crime Line instead of trying to strike a deal with a listed person.
Official tip route
Crime Line: 252-335-5555
Web: anonymous form on the official Most Wanted page
Emergency: call 911
Skip unverified social media accounts when sending tips. Anything sensitive should go through the official page, which carries the current form and its instructions.
Sheriff Tommy Wooten maintains a public site alongside the Sheriff's own, and both post news, events, and links to social channels. An operation may be announced there first. Still, those updates are not a custody ledger. For tips, the official page remains the right door.
How to Check a Pasquotank Warrant
Pasquotank has no self-service warrant search online. That gap matters. A name missing from the Most Wanted page does not mean a warrant is absent, so contact the right office and ask directly.
| Question | Route |
|---|---|
| Is there an active law-enforcement warrant? | Call the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office at 252-338-2191 and ask for Warrants. |
| What does the court file or bond record show? | Contact the Pasquotank Clerk of Superior Court, Criminal at 252-331-4600, or use NC eCourts. |
| How does court process route? | Magistrates can be reached through 252-331-4599. |
| Is the person currently in custody? | Use the Albemarle District Jail’s VINE link or call the jail at 252-335-4844. |
Timing differs between systems. A clerk's record and the Sheriff's warrant status can update at different moments. A warrant check will not tell you whether someone was booked or later released. If a listed person believes the page is wrong or a warrant has changed, going through counsel or the issuing court is safer than a public confrontation.
Pasquotank Sheriff App Is Not a Photo Feed
Phone apps and social feeds fill a gap. They do not answer custody questions. The Pasquotank County Sheriff NC app listing covers crime tips, reporting, and public-safety alerts. It also tells users plainly: call 911 for emergencies. Nothing in the listing points to a warrant roster, a booking-photo archive, or any search tool. So treat the app as outreach rather than a mugshot source.
Official Pasquotank Wanted Source
The county keeps its wanted list in one place. Head to the official Pasquotank Most Wanted page for the current carousel and the Sheriff's tip instructions. The image here serves only as a reference point.
Go to the live page for the latest. Tips go through the Sheriff's Crime Line or the anonymous web form. Either route is the fastest way to get fresh details on a listed fugitive.
What the Wanted List Cannot Confirm
The Sheriff's wanted page is selective on purpose. It gathers tips on people law enforcement hopes to locate. It does not list every open warrant in Pasquotank County. There is no text count and no set refresh schedule. No warrant-number field exists, and no per-person date shows when an entry last changed. A photo can stay up after someone's status shifts. A photo that vanishes might just mean the page was edited, not that a court reached a result.
The carousel cannot tell you where a person is right now. For anything official, go straight to the source. Ask the Sheriff's Warrants function about a warrant. Ask the Clerk about a court file. Ask the jail or VINE about custody. Each office updates its own records on its own timeline, so answers may differ. A commercial site may add a charge or an address, but treat that extra detail with care rather than repeating it as fact.
Have a question about a specific person? Write down the page date, the exact spelling of the name, and the agency you contacted. Those notes make follow-up calls far easier. They also help when one office's record has not yet caught up with another's.
Wanted Does Not Mean Guilty
A wanted page simply signals that law enforcement is asking for help finding someone. It is a tip tool, nothing more. Do not publish a juvenile's identity. Do not repeat claims you cannot verify through an official source.
Good public-record habits apply here. Keep the source date with anything you save. Rely on official Sheriff and court contacts. Let a tip page stay a tip page. If the person is later booked, the Clerk's record of what happened in the case is the one worth checking.
