Types of Warrants

Arrest warrants require probable cause. Under ORC Chapter 2935, a law enforcement officer or prosecutor files a complaint, and a judge decides whether to sign the warrant. Once signed, the Holmes County Sheriff serves it. Felony arrest warrants come from the Common Pleas Court. Misdemeanor arrest warrants are issued by the Municipal Court.

Bench warrants are issued directly by judges. A person gets one when they skip a court hearing, do not pay a fine, or violate probation conditions. These warrants have no expiration date. The Municipal Court in Millersburg generates most of the bench warrants in Holmes County because it deals with the highest volume of cases. A bench warrant can come up at any time during a routine traffic stop or a background check.

Search warrants fall under ORC Chapter 2933. Officers need to show probable cause and describe the location and items they seek. A judge must sign the warrant before any search happens. These are not publicly listed because they involve active investigations.

Note: If you have a warrant in Holmes County and get pulled over in another Ohio county, the officer will see it in the LEADS system right away.
