Who Issues Warrants in New Philadelphia
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For New Philadelphia that means the Tuscarawas County Court of Common Pleas, which hears felonies, civil cases over $15,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters, each in its own division; the Municipal and County Courts issue their own warrants on the cases before them.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the Clerk of Courts.

How to Check for a Warrant in New Philadelphia
The places to check for a warrant from New Philadelphia:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at 330-343-4682, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 330-365-3286, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Tuscarawas County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is not open to the public in Ohio, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from New Philadelphia
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from New Philadelphia that means appearing before the Tuscarawas County Court of Common Pleas or the Municipal and County Courts, with the case put back on the calendar through the Clerk of Courts.
A missed date in a case before the Municipal and County Courts is handled by that court, not by the Tuscarawas County Court of Common Pleas.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at co.tuscarawas.oh.us, phone 330-365-3286.
