Mifflin County Warrant List
Official county sources reviewed for Mifflin County did not show a public online active warrant list from the Sheriff, the Court of Common Pleas, the District Attorney, or the Magisterial District Judge offices. That finding matters because a name search on a general web page should not be treated as a Mifflin County warrant confirmation. The county research points instead to a fallback chain: court docket search, the correct filing office, the issuing MDJ when the matter began in lower court, the Sheriff for law-enforcement or civil-service questions, and Domestic Relations for support bench warrant issues.
The statewide Pennsylvania UJS Case Search may show case events, bail entries, failures to appear, and other docket activity tied to a warrant issue. It is still a court docket tool, not a live arrest-warrant database. A docket may lag behind recent office action, and the UJS docket-sheet information warns that recent entries may not be reflected at once. For Mifflin County warrants, the safest reading is that UJS can help identify the case, court, docket number, and next office to call.
The Mifflin County Domestic Relations page is one official source connected to support bench warrants.
That office route is separate from criminal or civil bench warrant records, so support matters should not be routed only through the general criminal clerk channel.
Mifflin County Bench Warrants
Bench warrants in Mifflin County can arise in more than one court context. The Prothonotary side of the courthouse office receives civil orders authorizing bench warrants. The Clerk of Courts side receives criminal bench warrant orders for Court of Common Pleas matters, along with criminal costs, fines, restitution, and bail paperwork. Both sides use the same courthouse office phone in the research, 717-248-8146, but the record category still matters because civil and criminal files are kept under different clerk functions.
Magisterial District Courts are also part of the warrant picture. The three Mifflin County MDJ offices handle summary traffic, summary non-traffic, preliminary criminal matters, arraignments, fugitive arraignments, search warrants, landlord and tenant cases, and smaller civil matters. A missed traffic citation response, a preliminary hearing issue, or a summary case failure to appear may point to the MDJ district that covers the location where the matter began. Domestic Relations has its own support enforcement role and links bench warrants for support matters.
| Warrant Route | Likely Office | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| Civil bench warrant | Prothonotary | The order is tied to civil filings, judgments, PFAs, custody, or other civil docket activity. |
| Criminal bench warrant | Clerk of Courts | The order is tied to a Common Pleas criminal case, costs, bail, restitution, or nonappearance. |
| Traffic or summary warrant issue | Magisterial District Court | The citation or summary case is still at the lower-court level. |
| Support bench warrant | Domestic Relations | The issue involves support enforcement handled through Domestic Relations. |
| Law-enforcement question | Sheriff | The question concerns prisoner transport, civil paper service, PFA service, or sheriff duties. |
Note: A bench warrant is an order from a judge, often tied to failure to appear or failure to comply with a court order.
Mifflin County Warrant Search Fields
Because no official Mifflin County active warrant search form was found, there is no county warrant-search field table to copy. The useful fields come from related court systems. UJS can search by docket number, participant name, citation number, complaint number, incident number, OTN, SID, organization, attorney, date filed, parcel, or calendar event, depending on the selected search mode. For a Mifflin County warrant check, those fields help locate the case that may have produced a warrant event.
| Search Channel | Field or Identifier | What It Can Do | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| County active warrant list | None found | No county public roster was located in the official sources reviewed. | Do not infer live warrant status from the absence of a county list. |
| UJS Case Search | Participant Name | Can locate public docket sheets when the docket number is unknown. | May return multiple people or delayed docket entries. |
| UJS Case Search | Docket Number, OTN, complaint, incident, or citation number | Can narrow a case to the likely issuing court or MDJ office. | Does not replace a direct call to the court office. |
| Office phone check | Docket number, name, date of birth if requested by staff | Can help the clerk route the call to civil, criminal, MDJ, or support records. | Staff may limit what can be released by phone. |
The Mifflin County Probation and Parole page also shows how court supervision can connect to compliance, treatment court, supervised bail, and ARD forms.
Probation is not a public active-warrant list, but supervision terms and court compliance can be part of the record path that leads a person back to the proper court file.
Mifflin County Warrant Contacts
The fastest warrant routing step is to identify the court level first. Common Pleas civil and criminal bench warrant questions route to the Prothonotary or Clerk of Courts at 717-248-8146. MDJ-level cases route to the MDJ office that covers the municipality or ward. Sheriff questions tied to law enforcement, prisoner transport, civil paper service, PFA service, levies, or sheriff sales route to 717-242-1105. Support bench warrant questions route to Domestic Relations at 717-248-3955.

Support enforcement and support bench warrant issues.
Do not assume that one office can clear every type of Mifflin County warrant. A civil order, a criminal failure to appear, a traffic citation, and a support enforcement case can sit in different records systems. If UJS shows an MDJ docket, use the MDJ office listed on that docket before calling a Common Pleas office.
Mifflin County Warrant Courts
Mifflin County has three Magisterial District Judge offices, and each office handles traffic and summary matters plus early criminal events. The MDJ pages state that these courts issue search warrants and handle arraignments, including fugitive arraignments. They also handle preliminary criminal matters that may move later to the Court of Common Pleas. That means a Mifflin County warrant search may start at an MDJ office even when the case later appears in a Common Pleas criminal file.
| MDJ | Address | Phone | Areas Served |
|---|---|---|---|
| Craig Weston | 103 West Market St., Ste 1, Lewistown, PA 17044 | 717-248-8408 | Granville Township, Juniata Terrace, Lewistown Wards 1-5. |
| Eric Ettinger | 7 Ort Valley Rd, Ste A, Lewistown, PA 17044 | 717-248-2607 | Burnham, Decatur, Derry, Lewistown Wards 6-7. |
| Kent A. Smith | 96 South Main Street, P.O. Box 580, Reedsville, PA 17084 | 717-667-9626 | Armagh, Bratton, Brown, Menno, Oliver, Union, Wayne, Kistler, McVeytown, Newton Hamilton. |
MDJ jurisdiction is important for traffic and summary matters because the citation location usually controls the court. A person checking a missed court date should compare the citation, complaint, or UJS docket against the MDJ coverage map before calling. For criminal matters held for court, the later case record may also be available through the Clerk of Courts and the Mifflin County criminal court records path.
Mifflin County Warrant Fields
No official Mifflin County active-warrant listing or sample warrant record was found in the research source. Because of that gap, no public roster fields are promised for warrant number, issue date, bond amount, charge list, physical description, or status flags. Those items may exist in a court or law-enforcement file, but they were not verified in a public county warrant roster.
| Possible Record Area | Research-Safe Statement |
|---|---|
| Docket events | UJS may show court events, failures to appear, bail, or bench-warrant-related entries when public. |
| Issuing court | The likely source may be Common Pleas, an MDJ office, or Domestic Relations, depending on the matter. |
| Warrant number | No public Mifflin County sample was found, so no field format can be stated. |
| Bond or bail | UJS may show bail in criminal dockets, but that is not the same as a warrant roster bond field. |
| Live status | Direct court or office confirmation is needed because UJS is not a live warrant confirmation system. |
Resolve Mifflin County Warrants
Resolution starts with the issuing court, not with a generic payment search. Paying a fine may not resolve a required appearance, and appearing without knowing the court's instructions can create avoidable risk. If the matter may be criminal, the research supports contacting counsel or the Public Defender if eligible. The Mifflin County Public Defender number listed in the research is 717-914-6590.
- Identify the likely issuing court: MDJ for traffic, summary, and preliminary matters; Clerk of Courts for criminal Common Pleas bench warrants; Prothonotary for civil bench warrants; Domestic Relations for support warrants.
- Search UJS by participant name, docket number, OTN, citation number, complaint number, or incident number to locate the case.
- Call the court office shown on the docket before making payment or travel plans.
- Ask whether the matter requires a court appearance, payment, bail posting, counsel, or a surrender process.
- If a criminal warrant may be active, speak with an attorney or check Public Defender eligibility before appearing.
- After the court says the issue is resolved, recheck the docket later because recent entries may not appear right away.
Important: A docket clue is not live warrant clearance. Confirm status with the issuing court or office before acting.
Mifflin County Warrant Limits
Some warrant-related records are public only in limited form. Judicial case records follow the Pennsylvania UJS public-access policy, while agency records outside a case file may fall under Pennsylvania Right-to-Know Law rules when appropriate. Juvenile matters are restricted by 42 Pa.C.S. 6307, and that statute limits inspection of juvenile court files. Sealed, expunged, limited-access, mental-health, victim-address, minor, and confidential identifier information should not be expected in a public warrant search.
The juvenile court access statute captured for the Mifflin County warrant page is available from the official Pennsylvania law source.
That restriction is why warrant-related public access should be described by record category instead of as one open list for every person and case type.
Note: No official Mifflin County Sheriff mobile app was found, and PAeDocket is a court docket app rather than a live warrant tool.
