While they offer information on active arrest warrants through their office, there is no provision to conduct a warrant search online or even to seek generic arrest records through the internet.

This can pose a problem for people who need quick information on outstanding warrants in Upson County and those who have arrest warrants in their name and risks imminent arrest by heading to any state-operated office. So, only, really have two options when looking for data on such judicial decrees issued by the local court, you can either use the form on the theist to access a third party database or get someone else to conduct the inquiry through official sources on your behalf.
