Richland Parish Warrant Records Types

The 5th Judicial District Court issues several kinds of warrants in Richland Parish. Arrest warrant records come from a judge under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 202 when law enforcement shows probable cause. Bench warrant records get issued when someone fails to appear in court or violates a court warrant order. Search warrants let law enforcement search a specific location for evidence and are usually sealed during active cases.

Both arrest warrants and bench warrants can lead to an arrest during a routine traffic stop. If you think a warrant might be in your name, call the sheriff's office to check. An attorney can help you address a warrant before it leads to an unplanned arrest. Bench warrants can sometimes be resolved by searching with the clerk and scheduling a new court date.
