Union City Warrant Checks
Union City publishes no online warrant roster. Work from the documents instead. Read the citation, summons, notice, or MyCase result, and match the court code before you dial. That one step keeps a city-court question away from police and keeps a county-court matter out of Union City City Court.
- Collect the full name, citation number, case number, and the court shown on any paper.
- Search Indiana MyCase for an eligible case, using citation or case number when possible.
- If the result shows 68H02, call Union City City Court at (765) 964-5968 and ask about the latest public docket status.
- Use Union City Police at (765) 964-5328 only for police or service questions, not court-record changes.
- If another Randolph court code appears, follow that court and the Randolph County Clerk.
Ask the Union City clerk what identification to bring, and whether the court requires an appearance, motion, bond, payment, or counsel. Do not walk in on an old web result alone if custody is possible.
Union City Warrant Code 68H02
The official Odyssey listing shows 68H02 as Randolph/Union City City Court. The state directory places the court at 219 S Howard Street, Union City, Indiana 47390, with phone (765) 964-5968 and fax (765) 964-7031, and names Judge Linda Wilcox. Court contacts change, so confirm the directory before a visit or filing. The Indiana Odyssey courts list gives the official system context.
The code does real work. It separates a Union City case from Randolph Circuit code 68C01 and Superior code 68D01. When names look alike, that distinction keeps you off the wrong clerk's phone.
Policing and Courts in Union City
Union City Court and Union City Police share a street address in the official sources, yet their jobs differ. The court issues orders and keeps the docket. Police do law-enforcement work and may serve process within their authority. The shared building implies nothing about either role.

Two Union City Warrant Phone Routes
Keep the two Union City numbers straight. Docket questions, hearing dates, payments the court accepts, or a possible recall start with (765) 964-5968. For which police office handles service or an operational matter, use (765) 964-5328. Never merge the two calls.
| Question | First contact | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Is 68H02 the court on my case? | City Court | The court owns its docket |
| Was a setting changed? | City Court | A police desk cannot alter court records |
| Which agency should receive a routine police inquiry? | Union City Police | It is an operational question |
| Can a warrant be recalled? | City Court or counsel | Recall requires judicial action |
Neither published Union City number is a dedicated warrant line. State your purpose briefly and let staff route the call.
Warrants in Union City: The Main Types
Union City's current court makes city-level distinctions matter. A traffic, ordinance, or eligible misdemeanor matter may be filed in 68H02, but the document and its court code control. Felony, probation, or county matters may sit elsewhere.
| Type | Possible route | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant or FTA | Union City Court if 68H02 is shown | Citation, setting, and current order |
| Ordinance process | Court named on city document | Whether the case is a summons, judgment, or warrant |
| Bench warrant | Issuing court | Missed setting and latest docket entry |
| Arrest warrant | County or city court as authorized | Issuing court, alleged offense, and status |
| Out-of-county warrant | Issuing jurisdiction | Union City staff may not control resolution |
Randolph official sources speak of warrants and failure to appear. They do not use a local capias term, so ask Union City court staff what the file shows.
Union City Warrant Routing Near Ohio
Union City straddles the Indiana and Ohio border. Geography does not change an Indiana case's court code. A citation showing 68H02 belongs to the listed Indiana city court even if you live, work, or signed papers across the state line.
Use the issuing jurisdiction. Match the state, county, court name, and case number before searching or paying. Do not assume the nearest courthouse owns the record.
An Ohio court or another Indiana county issued the warrant? Contact that issuing court. Union City Police or City Court may point you in the right direction, but they cannot change another court's order.
Union City Warrant Records: What They Show
A MyCase result or public Union City court file can carry several signals without a single active-warrant field. Read the court code and the event history before concluding anything.
| Case number | A pattern beginning 68H02 points to Union City City Court. |
|---|---|
| Party name | Helps match a record but may require another identifier. |
| Case type and allegation | Describe the proceeding or accusation, not guilt. |
| Docket events | May show FTA, issuance, service, return, bond, recall, or disposition. |
| Issue date and court | Identify the source and time of judicial action. |
| Bail or payment data | May be incomplete and must be confirmed with the court. |
A recent arrest is not the same as an outstanding warrant. The sheriff's app notice covers custody information, and it does not promise a complete Union City warrant search.
Union City Warrant Search in MyCase
MyCase searches by case number, citation number, cross reference, party, or attorney. A party search can pair a last name with a first name, middle name, or date of birth, plus filters for court, case type, status, and filing date. Exact numbers cut down mistaken matches. The official MyCase search tips explain the fields.
Select Union City City Court, or watch for 68H02 when that court is named. A result proves only that a public case exists. A clerk must confirm what any warrant entry currently means.
Union City Warrant Court-on-Ticket Rule
The best routing detail is printed on the citation or notice itself. Do not assume every Union City traffic or ordinance matter sits in Superior Court. Do not assume every event involving city police belongs to 68H02. Filing authority and case assignment depend on the matter charged.
- Read the court name and code exactly as printed.
- Compare that information with MyCase and the official court directory.
- Call the court number, not the police number, for docket procedure.
- Keep the citation number and any receipt available.
Does the document conflict with a web result? Ask the Union City court to reconcile the case before you act. A stale page or delayed docket entry should never drive a surrender or payment.
Union City Warrants and Randolph County
A Union City warrant stays a city-court judicial matter even when a municipal officer or the Randolph County Sheriff handles service. Indiana law directs arrest warrants to the sheriff and allows delivery to another authorized officer or agency. The court alone speaks for judicial status.
Warrant flow: Union City City Court 68H02 › Union City Police or Randolph County Sheriff › custody return and court docket.
Indiana has no public statewide criminal warrant roster. For county Circuit and Superior routes, see Randolph County warrant records. MyCase is the statewide public case-search tool, not a warrant database, and no Union City listing here substitutes for the court.
Union City Warrant Appeals and Bonds
Randolph County local rules set bond amounts for trial de novo appeals out of city and town courts. The listed figures run $500 for a C infraction, $1,000 for a B infraction, and $1,500 plus statutory costs for an A infraction or a nontraffic ordinance violation. A misdemeanor de novo appeal calls for a $1,000 cash or surety appearance bond. Those numbers belong to this one appeal setting, so treat them as examples rather than a price sheet for any Union City warrant. What a live 68H02 case actually requires is set by the court, and an indigency affidavit or personal undertaking may substitute for cash under the cited procedure. Ask before you post any funds. The rule also permits a summons instead of a warrant in that misdemeanor de novo setting once bond is posted. That is a narrow allowance, not a promise that a Union City warrant can simply be paid away.
No Union City Warrant Roster Was Found
Union City posts no police warrant page, city-hosted roster, or complete online wanted list. The absence is not proof that no warrants exist. Skip commercial instant-search sites too, since they can mix stale or out-of-state data. The Randolph 911 agency directory backs up the police contact route for a warrant check.
The directory is a contact map. It turns a Union City warrant question into a phone number, not an emergency call, and it publishes no names from any warrant list.
Accessing Union City Warrant Records
Access depends on who holds the record. Union City Court keeps its judicial docket, police hold service records, and the county Clerk holds county court records. A focused Union City request should name the office, date range, and record category. Do not demand a legal opinion or an unredacted roster of names.
Key rules:
Indiana Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3 governs access to existing public agency records, with statutory exceptions.
Indiana Access to Court Records Rule 5 protects excluded court information, including certain sealed, confidential, juvenile, and identifying material.
IC 35-33-2-2 describes the written content of an Indiana arrest warrant.
An agency must acknowledge a phone or in-person APRA request within 24 hours, and a mail, email, or fax request within seven calendar days. Those clocks cover the response only. Production can take longer, and records may be lawfully redacted or withheld.
Resolving a Union City Warrant
Once 68H02 is confirmed, ask Union City Court whether the person needs a new date, a motion, an appearance, bond, payment, or counsel. Police cannot recall the order. If another court issued the Union City warrant, contact that court directly, even if Union City Police served the papers.
- Confirm the court and newest docket event.
- Ask about appearance and custody risk before visiting.
- Use counsel when an arranged appearance is prudent.
- Pay only through the channel accepted for that case.
- Keep court receipts and verify that later action appears in the record.
No fixed Union City warrant fee or recall form is published. A court payment, an appeal bond, a release bond, and a BMV reinstatement step are all different. One transaction rarely settles them all.
