The best way to deal with a Sumter County arrest warrant is to understand how arrest warrants function, where they come from, and how to find them. The Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure govern arrest warrants throughout the state of Florida (which you can read at http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0900-0999/0901/0901ContentsIndex.html&StatuteYear=2015&Title=-%3E2015-%3EChapter%20901$FILE/Criminal.pdf?OpenElement), which we will go over briefly.

The Sumter County warrant process’s first step requires that a crime be committed and a potential suspect identified. Once law enforcement personnel believe that they have a likely candidate for the crime, they then proceed to a Sumter County court and appear before a judge. The judge can then determine whether or not sufficient evidence has been presented and issue an arrest warrant.

This arrest warrant calls for the person indicated by the warrant to be arrested by the police and brought into the jail. After that, what happens to the suspect depends mostly on other factors, but it should be noted that the suspect’s guilt has not yet been determined.

To make a Sumter County arrest warrant inquiry, you’ll want to visit the website of the sheriff of Sumter County at www.sumtercountysheriff.org.
