The following public records are the only public records that have been made available to the Claiborne Progress. If you feel that there has been an omission or other error, please contact the appropriate agency. As addresses are not always included in these reports, some misidentification can occur with individuals having the same name as others. Persons listed as being arrested or receiving citations should not be considered “guilty” or “convicted” as they have not been found to be so in a court of law at the time these records are filed. Since records are printed as received the list is controlled by the appropriate agencies involved, we are unable to change or omit names or information.
