Warrant Helpline
Did you miss court? Need to clear your warrant?
Hennepin County Criminal Court has a warrant helpline where anyone can call or email to get information about a warrant. This service also gives you an opportunity to schedule a hearing for a case with an active warrant to take care of it. If scheduled for a hearing, your warrant will stay active until you go to court and talk to the judge, which means you could still be arrested even though you have scheduled a hearing through the helpline. If you have an attorney, you or your attorney can call and schedule a hearing.
