Tippecanoe County Warrant Search
Last Updated: August 2026
Quick Answer
If you are trying to find out whether there may be an active arrest warrant in Tippecanoe County, start with Indiana MyCase. Search the person’s name and review the criminal case history for entries involving a warrant, bench warrant, or failure to appear.
Search Tippecanoe County Court Cases for Warrant Information
Important: MyCase is not a complete active-warrant database. If you need to confirm whether a warrant is currently active, contact the court handling the case or the Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office.
How to Search for a Warrant
Go to Indiana MyCase and search by the person’s name. You can narrow the results using a first name, middle name or date of birth. MyCase also allows searches by case number or citation number.
Once you find the correct criminal case, review the Chronological Case Summary (CCS) for recent court activity.
Look for entries referring to a:
- Warrant
- Bench warrant
- Arrest warrant
- Failure to appear
- Order to issue a warrant
- Warrant recalled or quashed
Be careful to verify that you’ve found the correct person and case.
Can I Find Every Active Warrant Online?
No. Do not assume that a MyCase search showing no warrant means there isn’t one.
MyCase provides public, non-confidential Indiana court information, but Indiana specifically states that its online information is not an official court record and may contain errors or omissions. Some records and documents are also restricted from public online access.
If you need to know for certain whether a warrant is active, contact the appropriate court or law-enforcement agency.

What Is a Bench Warrant?
A judge may issue a bench warrant when someone fails to comply with a court requirement. One common reason is failing to appear for a scheduled court hearing.
If you’re searching because you recently missed court, check your case on MyCase and contact the court handling the case.

What If I Think I Have a Warrant?
Don’t rely solely on information found through a third-party warrant-search website.
Check the case through Indiana MyCase and contact the court or appropriate law-enforcement agency to confirm the warrant’s current status. A warrant appearing in an older court entry may subsequently have been recalled or otherwise resolved.
If you’re unsure how to handle an active warrant, contacting an attorney before taking further action may also be appropriate.
Arrest Warrants vs. Tax Warrants
These are not the same thing.
An arrest or bench warrant can authorize law enforcement to take a person into custody.
A tax warrant concerns unpaid tax debt. Tippecanoe County has a separate Tax Warrants division through the Sheriff’s Office, and the county directs people with specific Indiana tax-warrant questions to the Indiana Department of Revenue.
So if you’re searching because of unpaid taxes, use the county’s Tax Warrants information rather than treating it as an arrest-warrant search.
Local Tips
- Search MyCase using the person’s full legal name first.
- Check identifying case information carefully when several people have the same name.
- Look at the most recent entries, not just older references to a warrant.
- Don’t assume that “no results” means “no warrant.”
- For confirmation, contact the court or Sheriff’s Office.
