Who Issues Warrants in Coshocton County
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Coshocton County that means the Coshocton 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 Coshocton County
The places to check for a warrant from Coshocton County:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at (740) 622-1456, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Coshocton County Sheriff's Office at coshoctonsheriff.com/inmate-lookup, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Coshocton County pages SearchSystems verified (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 Coshocton County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Coshocton County starts with the Clerk of Courts at (740) 622-1456: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the Municipal and County Courts is handled by that court, not by the Coshocton County Court of Common Pleas.
