Who Issues Warrants in Trumbull County
In Ohio an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Trumbull County that means the Trumbull 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 Trumbull County
Whether a warrant is out from Trumbull County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Courts at 330-675-2280, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone (330) 675-2426, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Trumbull County Sheriff's Office at trumbullcountyauditors.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Trumbull County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) 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.
