Lake County Sheriff’s Office posts warrant list updated Feb. 4, 2026

A public warrant list naming dozens of people with outstanding warrants was posted by a Lake County sheriff’s office, but public records and website excerpts show conflicting dates and multiple Lake County jurisdictions, leaving residents uncertain which office issued the list and how to respond.

The posting contains a roster of individual names, including Anderson, Devin James Louis; Bergstedt, Lynne Marie (aka Counter, Lynn Marie); Kelsey, Jack Henry (listed more than once); Kimaiga, Hobson Machera (appearing twice); Williams, Ralph Edgar; and others. The extracted list shows table delimiters and leading and trailing ellipses and does not include charges, warrant types, case numbers, dates of birth, or other identifying details for the people named.

There is a discrepancy in the posted timestamps. One brief notes the page was last updated February 4, 2026, while copy from a Lake County, Minnesota page reads, "The Lake County Sheriff’s Office strives to provide the very best service and protection to the citizens and visitors to our county. If you have information as to the whereabouts of these individuals, please call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. This list was last updated February 6, 2026." Because multiple Lake County sheriff offices operate in different states, the posting’s authoritative jurisdiction and exact update time require confirmation.

Procedural excerpts from other Lake County sheriff websites describe how warrant operations work. One jurisdiction’s published duties state, "Enter and clear both misdemeanor and felony warrants into IDACS/NCIC, and maintain an active file on all outstanding warrants. Detectives search for and arrest suspects with outstanding warrants who are located within Lake County, Indiana. Respond to inquiries from law enforcement personnel, courts, prosecutors, attorneys, and the public in general in regards to persons with possible outstanding warrants. Maintain an active file on all suspects with outstanding warrants, who are pending extradition to the Lake County Jail upon authorization from the Lake County Prosecutors office." Warrant processing lines also note that all warrants are entered into computer systems and into FCIC or NCIC, and one office reports, "The warrants division consists of four deputies who serve warrants."

Offices vary on public information release. One agency’s guidance is explicit: "OBTAINING WARRANT INFORMATION: We do not give warrant information out over the phone; all information must be obtained in person. If unable to come to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, report to your local Law Enforcement Agency." Residents unsure which Lake County posting applies should contact their local sheriff’s office in person or through their local law enforcement agency rather than relying on phone inquiries.

Contact details listed across the extracts include a Crown Point, Indiana office address at 2293 N. Main Street, Crown Point, IN 46307-1854 and Lake County, Florida contacts: Office of the Sheriff at 360 W. Ruby St., Tavares, FL 32778, Non Emergency Number 352-343-2101, Information Desk 352-343-9500, and Lake County Jail at 551 W. Main St., Tavares, FL 32778, Administration Hours M-F 8:30am to 5pm, Phone 352-742-4000.

What this means for readers: verify which Lake County sheriff’s office published the list before acting, do not approach listed individuals, and report tips in person or through the local law enforcement channel the posting directs. Reporters and residents seeking clarity should request the original warrant-list page or PDF, confirm the authoritative "last updated" timestamp, and ask the posting agency for full warrant details and public guidance on safe reporting.
