Initiating a background check is the only way to determine if there is an outstanding warrant in your name or that of somebody you know. This information can be useful when forging professional ties and evading arrest if a judicial directive for detention has been issued against you.

While numerous government agencies offer a simple procedure to access this information, any attempt to contact them will lead to arrest if there is a warrant out in your name. So, when approaching an official source, get a friend or your attorney to find the arrest records for you.

The first stop for anybody interested in conducting a warrant search in Ashland County should undoubtedly be the magistrate’s office. The judiciary holds the authority to release arrest warrants in felonies and misdemeanors and bench warrants, which are issued against people who fail to appear in court.

If you cannot find the information you are looking for at the magistrate’s court, which is highly unlikely, or are keen on a more extensive search that also encompasses civil cases, go to the county clerk’s office. Both the magistrate’s and the clerk of court’s offices are situated on 142 W 2nd St, Ashland, OH 44805.

You can also get a detailed criminal background check done on your subject through the sheriff’s office. To reach the law enforcement agency, drive down to 1205 East Main Street, Ashland, Ohio 44805.

When writing this article, the law enforcement agency was not offering online warrant search facilities. In fact, their site sorely lacked even the basic “most wanted” page, which is frequently found on the websites of other sheriff’s departments.
