Who Issues Warrants in Roy
In Utah an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Roy that means the District Court for Weber County, which hears felonies, civil cases, divorces, probate and class A misdemeanors; the Justice Courts, which take traffic tickets, class B and C misdemeanors and small claims, 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 court.
Statewide, MyCase and Xchange are free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription.
Who Serves Warrants in Roy
The Weber County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Roy (filed by the FBI as Roy Police Department) serve warrants in and around Roy.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Weber County: Weber State University (campus police); Weber Morgan Narcotics Strike Force (other agency); each serves warrants on its own ground.
The agency that serves a warrant from Weber County is whichever one finds the person; a Utah warrant is valid across Utah.
Together, the seven agencies in Weber County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 5,993 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Roy arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Roy 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 Weber County Sheriff's Office, held about 770 people on an average day in 2024 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at webercountyutah.gov/sheriff/corrections/booking.php. The Roy inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Roy on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Roy
The places to check for a warrant from Roy:
- MyCase and Xchange, free case lookup for parties through MyCase; the public Xchange search is by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The County Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Weber County Sheriff's Office at webercountyutah.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Weber County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff'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 Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification is not open to the public in Utah, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Roy
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Roy that means appearing before the District Court for Weber County or the Justice Courts, with the case put back on the calendar through the clerk of court.
A missed date in a case before the Justice Courts is handled by that court, not by the District Court for Weber County.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The County Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at webercountyutah.gov/Attorney.
