Lake County Sheriff's Office Updates Warrant List, Urges Public To Report Sightings

A Lake County sheriff’s office updated a public warrant list in mid-February, posting dozens of names and asking anyone with information to report sightings to law enforcement. The webpage copy directs readers: “If you have information as to the whereabouts of these individuals, please call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.”

The update’s timing is inconsistent across material reviewed: one report states the list was posted on Feb. 18, 2026, while a header on a mirrored version reads “This list was last updated February 19, 2026.” Multiple county pages and aggregators referencing Lake County in Minnesota, California, Illinois and Ohio appear in the combined material, creating uncertainty about which Lake County issued the Feb. 18/19 posting.

The excerpted warrant list includes named entries such as Anderson, Devin James Louis; Asmussen, Daniel Paul; Beld, Noah William; Bergstedt, Lynne Marie (aka Counter, Lynn Marie); and Williams, Ralph Edgar. The copy preserves truncated markers “[...]” in places, and two names appear twice in the excerpted list - Kimaiga, Hobson Machera and Klingelhoets, Cory Anthony - suggesting the posted file or the mirrored capture may contain duplicates or truncation. The supplied excerpt does not include charges, warrant numbers, dates of birth or photographic IDs for any listed person.

The sheriff’s public language on the page repeatedly underscores limits and cautions. The site states: “A subject's presence on this list is not indicative of guilt or innocence, nor does this list differentiate between those who have been charged and those who have been convicted.” It also warns: “No citizen should take individual action regarding the wanted subjects based upon information included on this website” and reiterates that “Only law enforcement officers may effectuate arrests.”

For residents who see a listed person, the materials supply a local contact block tied to Lake County, California: Lake County Sheriff, 1220 Martin Street, Lakeport, CA 95453; phone (707) 262-4200; email sheriff@lakecountyca.gov. Aggregated pages also repeat Clearlake Police Department, 14050 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, CA 95422, phone (707) 994-8251, and Lakeport Police Department, 916 North Forbes Street, Lakeport, CA 95453, phone (707) 263-5491. An aggregator excerpt notes that Lake County Crime Stoppers offers anonymous reporting with “rewards up to $1000.”

The online tools carrying the list include technical guidance and disclaimers. One mirror instructs, “If the warrant list or database fails to appear below, click here to retry.” The sheriff’s copy cautions that “Due to processes and technical data transfer issues, certain listed data may not be current and is subject to change,” and affirms “The Lake County Sheriff's Department updates this information regularly in an effort to ensure that the information on the website is complete and accurate.”

Residents with information about any named individual are urged to contact the sheriff’s office by phone or use local Crime Stoppers channels; do not attempt to detain or confront anyone. Journalists and residents seeking complete, untruncated warrant records should consult the issuing Lake County sheriff’s office to confirm the county and to obtain full warrant details, including alleged offenses, warrant numbers and issue dates.
