Types of Warrants You May Find in Greene County

Arrest warrants are the most common type people search for. A judge issues one when a prosecutor presents evidence that someone committed a crime and the court agrees probable cause exists. Once issued, law enforcement can arrest that person at any time and any place.

Bench warrants are issued when someone misses a court hearing, fails to comply with a court order, or is held in contempt. They are just as enforceable as arrest warrants. If you missed a court date in Greene County and a bench warrant was issued, you can be picked up during a traffic stop or any other contact with police.

Tax warrants are civil records. The Indiana Department of Revenue issues them when state taxes go unpaid. They are not criminal matters, but they can result in property liens and wage garnishment. You can search for tax warrants through the Indiana tax warrant database, which covers 79 counties including Greene County. More information about the sheriff's role in tax collection is on the DOR sheriff warrant page.

Regarding how long warrants stay active: under IC 35-33-2-4, misdemeanor warrants expire after 180 days if the person is not served. Felony warrants never expire. They remain valid and enforceable until the warrant is executed or recalled by the court.

Indiana State Police Criminal History Check

If you need a broader look at someone's criminal record beyond Greene County's local courts, the Indiana State Police offers a statewide limited criminal history check. The fee is $15 online, and you can start the search through the ISP criminal history page. Mail requests go to Indiana State Police, P.O. Box 6188, Indianapolis, IN 46206-6188. Phone inquiries can be directed to 317-232-8262.

This check is useful when you suspect someone has had contact with law enforcement in multiple counties or over a longer period than what local Greene County records show. The ISP search covers Indiana arrests, charges, and convictions statewide. Access to this information is governed by IC 10-13-3-11, which outlines what the public can see in a limited criminal history report.

Protection Orders and Related Records

Protection orders can lead to warrant activity if someone violates the terms of an order. Indiana keeps a statewide registry of active protection orders. You can search it for free at the Indiana protection order registry. This system covers Greene County along with the rest of Indiana. If a protection order is in place and it gets violated, the court can issue a warrant for the violator's arrest.

If you're connected to a case involving a protection order, checking both the protection order registry and MyCase is a good idea. They are separate systems and may each reflect different aspects of the same situation.
