The Weld County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help locating Dillon Fisher, the latest name featured in the agency's weekly Warrant Wednesday campaign. The post, shared Thursday morning, asks anyone with information or sightings of Fisher to come forward, while the office reminds followers that all charges are merely accusations and that defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
According to the Weld County Sheriff's Office, tips on Fisher's whereabouts can be submitted through the agency's dedicated tip line at (970) 304-6464 or by email at [email protected]. The office has repeatedly emphasized that these channels, rather than public comment sections, are the appropriate way to share leads on wanted individuals.
A Weekly Push Against a Massive Backlog
Warrant Wednesday has become a routine fixture for the sheriff's office as it tries to chip away at a persistent problem: Weld County maintains a backlog of more than 10,000 active criminal arrest warrants at any given time, according to a September 2025 report from Rocky Mountain Voice on local sheriff candidates. The sheer volume of outstanding warrants has made public tips a central tool for deputies trying to track down wanted people across the county.
The strategy has shown results before. The Greeley Police Department reported in September 2023 that Warrant Wednesday posts led directly to the arrest of 75 percent of featured suspects that year, underscoring how much the sheriff's office leans on crowdsourced leads rather than traditional patrol work alone to close cases.
Political Stakes Behind the Weekly Posts
The initiative has also become part of the political conversation ahead of the November 2026 sheriff's race. Former sheriff's office public information officer Matt Turner announced his campaign for Weld County Sheriff in September 2025 and has highlighted plans to expand Warrant Wednesday efforts, per Rocky Mountain Voice's reporting. Only three sheriffs have led the Weld County agency since 1987, giving added weight to how the next officeholder might handle the ongoing warrant backlog.
Backlogs at this scale aren't new for the county. During a February 2022 legislative hearing, former Weld County Sheriff John Cooke stated that the county had previously rolled out a warrant amnesty program, letting people with failure-to-appear warrants get new court dates without arrest once the backlog hit the 10,000 mark, as reported by Colorado Politics.
How Warrant Enforcement Can Play Out
Not every warrant service ends quietly. On July 23, a joint effort by Greeley Police and Weld County Sheriff's deputies in Evans led to an hour-long standoff before two suspects wanted on multiple warrants were taken into custody, the sheriff's office reported. Just two days later, a separate SWAT warrant raid in Evans ended with two more suspects arrested after they were found hiding in a ceiling crawl space, as Hoodline reported in its ceiling crawl space arrest coverage.
Tips submitted through the sheriff's office channels have also helped close more serious cases beyond routine warrant sweeps. In July 2025, deputies arrested a 38-year-old Evans resident on felony sexual assault charges after leads came in through the same [email protected] email and tip line, according to 9News.
Balancing Public Help With Due Process
The public-facing nature of Warrant Wednesday has occasionally required correction. Hoodline previously reported that the sheriff's office had to walk back a warrant post after it misstated alleged charges against a different wanted individual, David Galvan. That episode illustrates why the office continues to stress that anyone named in these posts is presumed innocent unless and until a court says otherwise.
People wanted on active Weld County warrants also have the option to resolve them without a confrontation. Individuals can turn themselves in at the Weld County Jail at 2110 O Street in Greeley or at the Weld County Combined Courts Clerk's Office at 915 10th Street, weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The sheriff's office, based at 1950 O Street in Greeley, serves a jurisdiction of more than 180,000 residents across Northern Colorado.
Anyone with information on Dillon Fisher's whereabouts is asked to contact the Weld County Sheriff's Office through its tip line or email rather than posting publicly on social media.
