The Brown County Sheriff’s Office has issued a public request for assistance in locating Derek Fairey, a man with several outstanding arrest warrants. According to online court records, Fairey missed a scheduled appearance in Oconto County Court in March 2023 for a hearing related to charges of issuing worthless checks.
What the warrants involve
The warrants stem from Fairey’s failure to appear for the March 2023 hearing. The underlying charge alleges that he issued checks that held no value, a misdemeanor offense that can result in fines, restitution, and possible incarceration if a conviction is secured.
How the public can help
The sheriff’s office urges anyone who may have seen Fairey or who has information about his whereabouts to contact the department promptly. Tips can be submitted by calling the Brown County Sheriff’s Office non‑emergency line at (920) 555‑1234 or by visiting the office in person at 123 Main Street, Green Bay, WI.
Law‑enforcement response
Sheriff’s officials emphasized that locating individuals with active warrants is a routine part of maintaining public safety. They noted that the department will continue to follow up on leads and that any information, no matter how small, could prove valuable in bringing the case to a resolution.
Community safety reminder
Residents are reminded that failing to appear for a court hearing can lead to additional legal consequences, including the issuance of arrest warrants. The sheriff’s office encourages community members to stay informed about local court dates and to address any legal notices promptly.
