An individual involved in a crime will be arrested immediately if a law enforcement officer witnesses his/her offenses. However, if not arrested in the act or with an illicit substance or illegally held firearms, an arrest can only occur with a warrant.

An arrest warrant issued in Livingston County, LA, is a judicial document that allows the police to apprehend a person and hold him in custody till such time that he/she is presented in court for a bail hearing. Before issuing an arrest warrant, the magistrate takes all effort to ascertain that there is ample proof to hold the person in question responsible for the crime irrefutably.

The arrest order thus duly released is known as an active arrest warrant. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, the court can be approached at any time of the day and night for an arrest warrant.

Sometimes, the police do not take immediate action despite holding a Livingston County judicial arrest order in their hand. This may happen due to any number of reasons like:

  • The suspect cannot be found.
  • The individual in whose name the warrant has been issued is absconding.
  • He/she is unaware of a warrant in his/her name.
  • The police suspect another person’s involvement.
  • There are more pressing matters that the Sherriff’s Department has to handle.

At any time, if arrest warrants are not served, they are held back in the national crime database and are referred to as outstanding warrants.

The Sherriff’s Office of Livingston County, Louisiana, will be your best bet if you are interested in a warrant search. They offer all required information about arrest records in the county. However, to get this data, you will need to visit them in person.

Their head office is located at P.O. Box 850, 20180 Iowa St, Livingston, LA 70754. If you would rather use the internet to look for the information you need, go ahead and fill out the form given above for quick access to a third-party crime database.
