Pennington County Warrant Records Pennington County Warrant Records

This page explains what we can and cannot help with, and where to send a question about an official Pennington County warrant. Most requests belong with the district court or the sheriff's office rather than with us, so the routing below sends each need to the office that can answer it. Have the case number or the citation number ready before you call.

This Is Not a Government or Law Enforcement Office. We run a private reference site. We cannot confirm whether a warrant exists, recall or clear a warrant, post bond, arrange a surrender, or give legal advice for anyone. For any of those, you need to reach the sheriff's office or the issuing court directly.

Need Official Warrant Information?

These are the questions people ask most often about Pennington County warrants, and the office that answers each one:

  • A court date, bail amount, or case status: District Court Administration issues the answers, because the district court holds the case file and sets the conditions
  • A bench warrant for a missed court date: the same district court issued and holds it, since no separate city or justice court sits in this county
  • Resolving or clearing a warrant: a licensed Minnesota attorney and the issuing court handle a recall, an arranged appearance, or posting bond
  • An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the court sets the charge and the bail; deputies serve the order in the field
  • A sheriff-held report or a custody question: the sheriff's Records Division handles existing public reports, and the correctional facility answers custody questions

For a court case, start with Court Administration at the Justice Center: 141 Main Ave S, Thief River Falls, MN 56701, 218-684-7000, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ask for the current status, the next court date, or a certified copy.

For a sheriff-held record, the Records Division counter is at 102 1st Street West, PO Box 484, Thief River Falls, MN 56701, 218-681-6161, on the same weekday schedule. Call before you come, and bring photo identification if you are requesting report copies. The correctional facility, which answers custody questions rather than warrant questions, can be reached at 218-416-7097. For anything urgent, call 911.
