Having an outstanding warrant should cause you sleepless nights because if you are pulled over for a traffic violation or if your identification is checked for any reason, you will be arrested on the spot. In Dougherty County, Georgia, Arrest warrants are issued by the Magistrate Court and served by the sheriff’s office. Arrest records are maintained by the Clerk of Court and can be searched through an online database.

Performing a Dougherty County warrant search is as simple as visiting the Clerk of Court’s website. Choose “Case Management” from the search menu to open up the court docket search page (you must accept the disclaimer and terms to continue). Click on “party name” to continue to the search screen where you can enter the person’s name and limit the search to criminal records (choose criminal for “search case type”).

If you have problems navigating the website to search for active or outstanding warrants, you may contact the Clerk of Court during its regular business hours.

If you do a warrant, search the on yourself, and find an outstanding arrest warrant, do not ignore it, which will make matters worse. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to find out how you should proceed. Suppose you cannot afford an attorney to represent you in a criminal matter in the State of Georgia, such as defending an arrest warrant. In that case, the State must appoint a public defender to represent you.
