How do I check for a Wicomico warrant?

The Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, 410-548-4891, can confirm a warrant, and its Most Wanted list names some wanted people. Salisbury, Fruitland, Delmar or Pittsville departments search town cases.

A Salisbury lawyer can plan a surrender at the Naylor Mill Road jail. For a missed-date warrant, it is worth asking the clerk to set a new date: Circuit Court, 101 North Division Street, 410-543-6551; District Court, 201 Baptist Street, 410-713-3500.

The Judiciary's case portal covers filed charges and hearing dates, not open warrants.

Yes; the Naylor Mill Road jail releases property with a Property Release Form signed by the person held, you and a witness. Bring photo ID. Pickup is weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; call 410-548-4850, extension 324, to make sure the form is in. After release, or after a move to state prison, property must be picked up within 30 days or it is thrown out. Jail staff will not give out release or court dates; the person held gets a projected release date form to share. Medicine questions use the same jail line.

What can I mail to the Naylor Mill Road jail?

The Naylor Mill Road jail needs the person's full name and inmate number, plus your full name and return address, or it goes back. Staff open mail to check for contraband, and legal mail is only opened while the person watches. Photos are fine if not sexual, but only five may be kept in the cell. Packages are not delivered.
