Who Issues Warrants in Ashwaubenon
In Wisconsin an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Ashwaubenon that means the Brown County Circuit Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Circuit Court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Ashwaubenon
Whether a warrant is out from Ashwaubenon shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the Clerk of Circuit Court, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Wisconsin Circuit Court Access, the free statewide case search of every circuit court, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The District Attorney, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Brown County Sheriff's Office at browncountywi.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Brown 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Ashwaubenon
