Who Issues Warrants in Logan County
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Logan County that means the Logan 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.
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 Clerk of Courts keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at logancountyohio.gov/clerk-of-courts.html (page title: Logan County Clerk of Courts | Logan County, Ohio), phone 937-599-7249, 101 S. Main St. Room 218 Bellefontaine, OH 43311, Monday - Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Logan County 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 Logan County Sheriff's Office, held about 44 people on an average day in 2023 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a jail page SearchSystems verified at logancountyohio.gov/corrections.html. The Logan County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Logan County on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Logan County
Whether a warrant is out from Logan County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at 937-599-7249, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 937-599-7272, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Logan 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 Logan County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Logan County starts with the Clerk of Courts at 937-599-7249: 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 Logan County Court of Common Pleas.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at logancountyohio.gov/prosecutor.html, phone 937-599-7272.
