Who Issues Warrants in Auglaize County
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Auglaize County that means the Auglaize 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.
