Location: Orleans Parish, Louisiana
I am trying to find out if a friend, currently living out of state has warrants locally. They think that they missed a traffic hearing and might be wanted for that. I tried to contact Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, but they said the person in question must go to the courthouse themselves to make the inquiry. This doesn’t seem correct, if there are warrants, that person would be immediately arrested. Which if they need to go through the system, they will do, but they want to know in advance to that is what’s happening.
Also, my friend would need to fly in to New Orleans to do so. They are currently 4 states away. So if there is an issue, then there’s some planning involved in handling it.
Please advise on how to search for active warrants in Orleans Parish. Thanks in advance.
