Unfortunately, very few counties in the state of Alabama offer an online tool for warrant search on their website, and Blount is no different. So, if you are looking for information on active arrest warrants issued by a criminal court in the county, you will need to head over to the county clerk’s office or the sheriff’s department in person. There are also two other sources of information that have been mentioned below.

The sheriff of Blount County: Situated on 225 Industrial Park Dr, Oneonta, Alabama 35121, the law enforcement agency plays a crucial role in such arrest orders from the court since they place a formal request for the warrant in front of the judiciary.

You can get information on both active as well as outstanding warrants from this agency. However, in the interest of public safety, the police often hold back details associated with sensitive cases in which an arrest has not yet been made.

Private sources: If you have a warrant out in your name, a cursory visit to the sheriff’s department or any justice agency in the state can cause you to get arrested. So, unless you want to turn yourself in, it would be best to stay away from official sources.

Instead, look for arrest records online. Often third-party databases will offer warrant searches throughout the country. So, fill the form above to access a privately maintained repository of records.

Blount’s judicial divisions: Both the county clerk’s office, which is responsible for the preparation and storage of the court dockets, and the magistrate’s office that hands over the arrest order to the police are located on 220 2nd Ave E, Oneonta, AL 35121.
