Warrant Types in Pulaski County

Arrest warrants in Pulaski County must comply with IC 35-33-2-1. Each warrant must be in writing, signed by the Circuit Court judge, and state the offense. Law enforcement presents a sworn affidavit or complaint showing probable cause, and the judge signs if the standard is met. Once issued, the warrant remains active until the person is arrested or the court recalls it. Pulaski County deputies and Indiana State Police troopers can both execute arrest warrants in the county.

Bench warrants are court-generated. A Pulaski County judge issues one when a defendant fails to appear for a scheduled court date, ignores a court-ordered payment, or violates conditions of pretrial release or probation. These don't require a law enforcement request and carry the same enforcement authority as arrest warrants. Officers can arrest the person anywhere in Indiana once the bench warrant is issued. IC 35-33-2-2 governs how Indiana warrants are served and returned by the officer who executes them.

Search warrants authorize law enforcement to enter and search a specific location in Pulaski County for specific evidence. A judge signs these after reviewing a sworn affidavit that establishes probable cause. Under IC 35-33-2-4, search warrants must describe both the location and the items sought with specificity. After execution, the warrant return paperwork becomes part of the court record and is typically public through the Pulaski County Clerk's office in Winamac.
