Indiana Warrants vs. Criminal Records

Warrants and criminal records are both public in nature but serve different purposes. While a warrant signifies suspected involvement in unlawful activities, a criminal record is a documented history of an individual’s past criminal convictions and charges.  Although Indiana warrants are public records, they don’t always equate to a conviction or incarceration. Many warrants are resolved without resulting in a conviction however, they are still bucketed into a person’s criminal record. This is because warrants are violations of court orders, or allegations of a crime behind committed. If you run a person’s criminal record, it will also show any criminal convictions and provides a more comprehensive insight into a person’s involvement with the Indiana justice system.

Different Types of Indiana Warrants

  • Indiana Arrest Warrants: These are issued to arrest someone in Indiana that has allegedly committed a crime. To obtain an arrest warrant in Indiana, officers must have a judge sign off on it and they must present significant evidence for the judge to authorize a person’s arrest. This is important as people are protected under the 4th amendment, which basically states that a warrant cannot be issued without probable cause. 
  • Indiana Bench Warrants: Issued directly by judge or magistrate to summon someone back to court. These are minor offenses compared with arrest warrants and do not represent an allegation of a crime. Rather, they are issued for people that have failed to make a court appearance as required, either as a defendant, witness, or juror. They are based on non-compliance with court directives. 
  • Indiana Tax Warrants: A tax warrant is issued when a person is ultra delinquent on their taxes. An Indian tax warrant allows the state to setup collection actions against an individual or an entity that owes delinquent taxes. The specifics of a tax warrant can vary by jurisdiction, but it generally serves as a legal claim against the property or assets to satisfy an unpaid tax debt. They are typically issued after years of non-payment of taxes. 

Search Indiana Arrest Warrants Through County Sheriff Departments

Some counties in Indiana, not all, have a most wanted list and some even go a little further and have a warrant search tool. That said, you will need to know what county you want to run an Indiana arrest warrant search in as well as the full name and sometimes the date of birth of the individual in question. These are great resources to find out the most wanted list or fugitives in that county however, this method of warrant research is somewhat limited if you do not know what county to search in, or if that county does not offer a web search portal that you can access. If you do not know the county and would like to search statewide, then a public record website might be a good option to explore. Below are some of the Indiana county sheriff departments that have most-wanted lists available on their website.

What To Do If You Have a Warrant in Indiana?

  • Do Not Evade the Authorities: Avoiding or running from a warrant can make your situation significantly worse. You are likely to have additional charges added to your criminal allegations that can make your sentence worse if convicted. 
  • Talk To Legal Counsel: After you find out you have a warrant you should consider consulting with a criminal defense attorney to find out what the best procedure will be moving forward, or how to turn yourself in peacefully. 
  • Self-Surrendering: Making the first move and turning yourself into the relevant authorities is often a good idea and is looked upon favorably by the courts. Your attorney can help guide you in this process. You might also be able to get bail and bond out if your charges are not too serious.
