Going about an arrest warrant search in Wilkin County, MN, does not have to be difficult. A little patience and some ingenuity will produce decent results. As with most other areas, the county has crime, about 100 or so reports each year, most of which are not considered to be violent in nature.
Starting a quest for outstanding warrants and arrest records with the Wilkin County Sheriff’s Office is a logical first step. The sheriff has a website with some good links: http://www. co. wilkin. mn. us/index. asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC={57A73054-0F6C-467C-AFC6-27064F9DD13C}. The sheriff goes on calls regarding crimes and motor vehicle accidents. They also do a lot regarding criminal activity investigation, including gathering statements from witnesses and alleged perpetrators, gathering physical evidence of crimes, assembling various reports, and making arrests, both with and without active warrants. Additionally, the Wilkin County sheriff coordinates the service (or “delivery”) of civil and criminal processes, such as warrants and orders.
At the bottom of the sheriff’s webpage is a link to “Crime Reports.” This brings up another page which is a detailed map of Wilkin County, MN. Apparently, it should indicate where and when crimes occurred. However, at the time of this writing, nothing was displayed. At best, this could prove useful in an outstanding warrant search and, at worst, merely an interesting curiosity.
There is another link from the sheriff’s home page, this one in the left margin menu, entitled “Warrant List.” The link brings up another screen with a link to a pdf containing all individuals with active warrants in the Wilkin County area. As of early January 2014, there were over fifty names listed, along with dates of birth and charges for each individual.
Yet another useful link from the sheriff’s homepage is also found on the left margin. This link is for “Jail Population” and leads to another page with a pdf link. The pdf document reports the name, age, charges, status, release date, warrant (the issuing county), and bond of all prisoners in the Wilkin County correctional facility, including photographs.
