Checking for a Warrant in Odon
Start an Odon warrant check with Indiana MyCase, not with an unofficial name list. MyCase searches public cases across the state. A warrant indicator can surface in a criminal case summary even though the site is not a warrant-only database. If you have a case or citation number, use it. A name search works when no number is handy, but a shared name alone proves nothing about identity.
- Search MyCase by case or citation number when available.
- Open the summary and note the court, case number, dates, and any public warrant entry.
- Call the Daviess County Clerk at 812-254-8664 to verify the official record.
- Contact Circuit Court at 812-254-8670 or Superior Court at 812-254-8671 when named.
- Call the Daviess Sheriff at 812-254-1060 for service, booking, surrender, or bond procedure.
When the trouble started with Odon police or a town ordinance, the police department or town clerk can point you to the right agency. Neither replaces the issuing court. A blank result never proves no warrant exists. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, restricted, or simply old records may not show up the way current ones do.
Odon Has No Warrant Portal
Odon publishes no searchable active-warrant page, no downloadable roster, and no town warrant form. A town website search will not settle current status. The police page is contact information only. MyCase gives the first public case search, and Daviess County offices handle the official follow-up.
Quick answer: Odon runs no separate public warrant portal. Use MyCase, then confirm with the Daviess clerk, the issuing court, or the sheriff.
The sheriff posts no verified online active-warrant list either. Its report and permit page does say the office provides warrant-search services, meaning a counter service rather than a live database. Calling the office directly is the local fallback.
Odon Police and Municipal Court
The Odon Police Department lists Town Marshal Scott Noble at 401 S Grove Street, Odon, IN 47562, phone 812-636-8550, with 911 for emergencies. It offers no public warrant search. Save the emergency line for true emergencies, not routine status questions about a family case.

Odon lists no municipal or town court of its own, so a warrant question here runs through the county courts in Daviess County. An Odon police officer can serve a warrant, but only the issuing judge can recall or quash it. To quash simply means the court sets its warrant aside. The contact details above point to the local offices that handle these questions.
Odon Clerk-Treasurer Court Limit
The Odon Clerk-Treasurer page describes a statutory possibility: under Indiana law, a clerk-treasurer may serve as clerk of a town court when the judge neither acts as clerk nor appoints one. That is a general job description, not proof that Odon operates a town court today, that a town judge issued a warrant, or that the clerk keeps any warrant portal. For an ordinance or town-court question, ask directly whether a current court exists and which office holds the record. If the answer points to a Daviess case instead, take it to the county clerk and the court shown in MyCase. Working from the actual office saves you from chasing a court that does not exist, and it keeps a town contact from being mistaken for an office that can recall a Circuit or Superior Court order. Note: A clerk can explain records and filings, but only the proper court can change its judicial warrant order.
Odon Warrant Types
Odon residents run into several warrant terms in a county summary. Each describes a distinct court process. The court, the triggering event, the service history, and later orders give each term its meaning, so no single label tells the whole story.
| Type | How It May Arise | Official Route |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest warrant | A judge finds probable cause after a charge | Court, clerk, sheriff |
| Bench warrant or FTA | A hearing or court duty was missed | Court named in the case |
| Capias | A case-specific custody command | Issuing court |
| Traffic FTA warrant | A traffic appearance was missed | Court first; BMV separate |
| Search warrant | A judge authorizes a search, not arrest | Court access may be restricted |
A summons directs a person to appear and may come before a warrant if they skip court. A capias commands custody, and its real effect depends on the order itself. Ask what triggered it and whether a hearing, filing, bond, or recall comes next.
Odon MyCase Search Route
The official MyCase search tips cover case, party, and attorney searches. Case search takes a case number, citation number, or cross-reference number, one at a time. Party search starts with a last or business name, adding first, middle, or birth details where allowed. Broad Odon searches can return piles of records. Filter by court and case type.
| Field | Best Use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | Known file | Old papers may use a former court label |
| Citation number | Traffic case | Payment and recall are separate |
| Party name | No known number | A match is not identity proof |
| Date of birth | Narrow a party search | Do not publish private data |
Superior Court shows as 14D01. The former Daviess County Court, 14E01, is listed as abolished, so old papers and a current result may not match. Save the exact reference and let the clerk find the present file rather than assuming the old court still runs.
Inside an Odon Warrant Record
A public summary can route an Odon inquiry even without the warrant document attached. Read the events by date. Issuance, service, bond, payment, and recall are separate entries, so a single line never answers the full status question.
| Case or Citation Number | Official case reference used by the court |
|---|---|
| Court | Circuit, Superior, or another court shown |
| Case Type and Charge | Category and allegation, not guilt |
| Warrant Event | Issue, FTA, capias, service, return, recall, or quash if public |
| Bond or Release | Terms only when ordered and public |
| Documents | Public links may appear; protected items may be withheld |
An Indiana arrest warrant ordinarily names or describes the person, states the offense, carries the date and issuing signature, commands an arrest, and may state bail. A summary may show less than that. When a field is unclear, call the court. A served Odon warrant does not close the case.
Odon Warrant Travel Checklist
For county court and sheriff steps, Odon residents usually head to Washington. The courthouse at 200 E Walnut Street holds the clerk and the courts. The Sheriff and Security Center sits at 101 NE 4th Street. Since the two offices answer different warrant questions, calling ahead saves you a trip to the wrong counter.
- Have the case or citation number and court name.
- Confirm counter hours and required identification.
- Ask if a hearing, filing, payment, bond, or lawyer must come first.
- Ask the sheriff about booking, surrender, and the proper bond channel.
- Bring only the payment method the office confirms.
- Keep receipts, written directions, and call dates.
Bonds and court hours follow different rules in Odon matters. Daviess accepts bonds at all hours. Still, not every warrant carries bond, and payment never changes a judge's order. Ask the Booking Officer before paying anything, then confirm the docket with the clerk.
How Odon Warrants Fit the County System
An Odon police contact may open a matter, but the public case route runs through Daviess County courts. The clerk keeps county case records. Circuit and Superior Court issue orders in assigned cases. The sheriff handles service, booking, and jail procedure.
Warrant flow: Odon police or local event → Daviess County Clerk and issuing court → Daviess County Sheriff for service or booking → Indiana MyCase when public.
The issuing judge, not Odon Police, decides whether to recall or quash a warrant. MyCase shows public data only. It is not the official file. The Daviess County warrant records overview lays out the full county route for an Odon warrant search. Those shared channels help without inventing a separate Odon database.
Odon Tax and Arrest Warrants
The word warrant can send an Odon resident down the wrong path. Daviess publishes tax-warrant information because the sheriff collects certain state tax debts. Per the county, those are not arrest warrants. A tax letter, a criminal warrant, and a VINE custody alert each do a different job.
- Arrest warrant
- A judicial command authorizing arrest in a criminal process.
- Tax warrant
- A tax-collection tool, not a criminal arrest order.
- VINE
- Custody-status notification, not a warrant search.
- Recall
- A court action withdrawing its warrant; a receipt alone is not recall.
Match the source to the question. Tax problems belong with the tax and revenue route. Criminal or traffic warrant questions go to MyCase and the court. Custody alerts use VINE. Keeping these records apart stops a tax balance from being read as Odon criminal warrant status.
Odon Warrant Records and Public Access
The Indiana Access to Public Records Act, mainly Indiana Code 5-14-3, governs access to many agency records in Odon and statewide. It allows inspection and copying during regular hours, with exceptions and office rules. Requests must describe the record with reasonable detail. Court records also answer to Indiana court rules.
Key rules:
Indiana APRA provides a public-record route but does not open every warrant record.
Indiana Administrative Rule 9 governs court-record access and permits confidentiality in set cases.
Juvenile, sealed, expunged, investigatory, and some unserved-warrant material may be restricted.
Ask which office holds the record you want. The sheriff takes administrative requests in person or by mail and charges a $5 fee for that service. A court warrant document usually sits with the clerk or court itself. A copy request is not the same as a live status call about the next step in an Odon case. Note: Public access does not justify reposting names, birth dates, addresses, photos, or full case files.
Resolving an Odon Warrant
Start with an exact case number and current confirmation of any Odon warrant. Ask the clerk or court whether it is active, served, recalled, quashed, or confidential. Ask what caused it and whether the judge requires a hearing, filing, appearance, payment, or bond. Counsel can interpret the order and help you plan a safe appearance.
Before acting: Do not assume that paying a fine, calling the marshal, or speaking with the sheriff recalls a court warrant.
If the sheriff holds service or booking details on an Odon warrant, call 812-254-1060 and explain that you are asking about your own procedure or a relative's case, not reporting a tip. Confirm identification, timing, booking, bond, and where to appear before leaving Odon. Daviess describes release on recognizance only by court order, plus full cash, ten-percent cash, and card options. These are general processes, not a promise that a warrant carries bond.
Once the required step is done, get a docket entry, receipt, written order, or attorney confirmation. Recheck MyCase after the stated processing time, but treat the court as the official answer. Scam callers may push gift cards, cryptocurrency, wires, or urgent payment to an unknown account. Verify any demand through published Odon, county, or Indiana court contacts before you pay.
