Results show the person's age, the charge, the case number, and which court put out the warrant. This is the same tool that law enforcement uses to check for active warrants across the state.
You can also search in person at the Sheriff's Office. Walk in with your ID and ask at the front desk. Staff will check the local database and the statewide system for you. Phone calls work too. Call the Sheriff's Office at (435) 784-3255 and give them the name and date of birth you want checked.

Staff are on hand during normal business hours on weekdays.
