Need Official Warrant Information?
These are the routes for the questions readers ask most often about Mason County cases:
- Whether a warrant exists: call the clerk of the court that issued the order. The 79th District Court answers at 231-843-4130 and the 51st Circuit Records Office answers at 231-845-1445.
- A missed court date or an unpaid court obligation: call the 79th District Court for traffic, ordinance, and misdemeanor matters, because that court holds the case and any bench warrant that followed.
- A felony matter after bindover: call the 51st Circuit Court records office, since that court keeps the file once the case moves up.
- Child-support enforcement: call the Mason County Friend of the Court at 231-843-4791, which describes a bench warrant as a last resort and invites contact before an arrest.
- Custody or service questions: call the Mason County Sheriff at 231-843-3475. The office serves process and holds people in custody, and it publishes no warrant list.
- Clearing or recalling an order: talk with a licensed Michigan attorney and the issuing court about a voluntary appearance, a show-cause hearing, bond, or a motion to recall.
