Who Issues Warrants in Jordan
In Minnesota an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Jordan that means the Scott County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the court administrator keeps that file.

A warrant issued in Scott County is good anywhere in Minnesota, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Jordan Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Scott County Sheriff's Office, held about 110 people on an average day in 2023 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at scottcountymn.gov/1583/Jail-Roster, phone 952-496-8314. The Jordan inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Jordan on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Jordan
The places to check for a warrant from Jordan:
- Minnesota Court Records Online, the Minnesota Judicial Branch's free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, phone 952-496-8240, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Scott County Sheriff's Office at scottcountymn.gov/1583/Jail-Roster, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Scott County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
Clearing a Warrant from Jordan
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Jordan starts with the court administrator: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at scottcountymn.gov/2329/County-Attorney, phone 952-496-8240.
