An arrest warrant does not determine guilt, even though it is based on probable cause. Before issuing an arrest warrant, the judge must determine that probable cause exists based on facts presented to him under oath. However, even though he may find that it is reasonable to believe the suspect committed the crime, this is not a determination of guilt. It simply forms the basis for issuing the arrest warrant. If you want to search for arrest warrants in Henry County, you should check with the court system and the Sheriff’s Office.

Unfortunately, the court records for Henry County are not available online to assist you with your warrant search.
