NO FCRA USE. This privately run website has no affiliation with a local, North Carolina, or federal government agency. Neither the website nor its advertising partners offer a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant-screening, or another purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Jones County Criminal History is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
Jones County Criminal History is a private reference resource. It neither stores official criminal records nor runs an official background check, retrieves records, or files documents for a visitor.
The material directs readers to the proper custodian, such as the Jones County sheriff or clerk, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Criminal Information and Identification Section, the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction, and the North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry. Government access is controlled by the relevant law and office. For example, Chapter 132 is the North Carolina Public Records Law, while G.S. 132-1.4 sets distinct rules for criminal investigation and intelligence records.
2. Rules for Using This Site
A visitor agrees not to:
- Violate a federal, North Carolina, or local law through use of the website
- Stalk, threaten, harass, or intimidate another person
- Use content for a hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decision
- Attempt unauthorized entry into any account, server, or system
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool against the pages
- Disrupt service or interfere with another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained from this website or a linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Registry information requires special care. The North Carolina Sex Offender and Public Protection Registry exists for public-safety notice, not vigilantism. G.S. 14-208.15A makes specified misuse of registry information unlawful and provides criminal penalties.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background reports, or other consumer reports. The website and its advertising partners do not provide a service designed to screen applicants, evaluate rental applications, set insurance rates, or assess credit. A visitor may not use website information or a linked tool to:
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Determine credit eligibility or insurance pricing
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
- Carry out another purpose regulated by the FCRA
A person who needs an FCRA-regulated report must use a provider authorized and compliant for that purpose. Official North Carolina record-review channels do not change these restrictions.
5. No Legal Advice
The website supplies general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Jones County warrant, charge, conviction, registry duty, or expunction law applies to a person's facts. A licensed North Carolina attorney must provide advice about a specific legal matter.
6. No Warranties
All material and services are provided "as is." We make no warranty that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
- The website will remain available without interruption
- Every page will be free from defects or security weaknesses
- An outside search provider will return complete or correct results
Charges, dispositions, expunction orders, fees, office hours, and database entries can change. Nothing published here is an official statement by a Jones County court, sheriff, or North Carolina agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
The website links to government offices, court portals, agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control a destination's content, availability, prices, security, or data practices. A visitor who follows a link should review the destination's own terms.
8. Intellectual Property

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses or damages arising from use of the website, reliance on its content, or use of a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to hold us harmless from a claim, demand, or legal action arising from that visitor's use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
North Carolina law governs these terms. A dispute connected to use of Jones County Criminal History must be brought in a court located in North Carolina, subject to any controlling jurisdictional rule.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these conditions. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend, limit, or end a visitor's access at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be limited only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
