Who Issues Warrants in Noble County
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Noble County that means the Noble 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 noblecountyohio.gov/noble-county-clerk-of-courts (page title: Noble County Clerk of Courts | Noble County Ohio), phone 740-732-4408, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 28, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Noble County
The places to check for a warrant from Noble County:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at 740-732-4408, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 740-732-5685, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Noble County Sheriff's Office at noblesheriff.org/jail-roster, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Noble 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 Noble County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Noble County starts with the Clerk of Courts at 740-732-4408: 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 Noble County Court of Common Pleas.
