Monroe County Sheriff Posts Updated Warrants List, Warns Against Attempting Arrests

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office updated its online "Active Warrants" page and the page displayed the timestamp "Active Warrants As of: Friday, February 20, 2026 at 02:00." That timestamp is the clearest public marker of when the county’s warrant snapshot was posted.

The sheriff’s site is described as providing public information about wanted individuals; the captured excerpt states, "The page is designed to inform the public about persons wanted by county authorities." The update appears intended to notify neighbors across Monroe County which records were active at that timestamp.

Monroe County Crime Stoppers republishes an "ACTIVE MONROE COUNTY WARRANT LIST" on its site and frames the list as a snapshot. The page includes the disclaimer: "The following are warrants reflected in the official records of Monroe County. Any additions or cancellations of warrants that have occurred since that time will not be reflected in this list."

Anyone seeking to surrender on outstanding warrants is directed to contact law enforcement directly. The Crime Stoppers text opens that section with "Anyone wanting to surrender to clear up these warrants should contact:" and gives the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office phone, instructing "Any time by dialing 608-269-8712." The page also advises people may "Stop by the Monroe County Jail at 112 S. Court St. in Sparta (rear public entrance door)."

For court-related business, the Crime Stoppers excerpt reproduces Clerk of Courts information and hours: "Clerk of Courts / Monday through Friday - 8:00 am - 4:30 pm | 608-269-8760 or 608-269-8745." For anonymous tips or mailing, the page lists a contact line and address: "##### P.O. Box 144 ~ Tomah, WI 54660 Hotline: Leave a message anonymously."

Monroe County Crime Stoppers also promotes digital and social options on the page with the heading "##### DOWNLOAD THE FREE APP" and references to "Google Play" and "Apple Store," plus "Facebook" and a link reference to "Monroe County Sheriff's Department." Image and design credits on the page read "Image by Scott Rodgerson" and "DESIGNED BY: TOP DOG MARKETING.png," and the site carries the copyright line "© 2025 MONROE COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS, INC."

The captured excerpts do not include names, charges, booking photographs or counts for specific suspects, nor do they contain an explicit advisory phrase telling the public not to attempt arrests. The sheriff’s-page timestamp remains the primary time marker: "Active Warrants As of: Friday, February 20, 2026 at 02:00."

For anyone who needs to act on those records, the sheriff’s office phone listed on the Crime Stoppers page is 608-269-8712, the Monroe County Jail address is 112 S. Court St., Sparta (rear public entrance door), and Clerk of Courts hours and phones are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm at 608-269-8760 or 608-269-8745.
