3. Was this inmate arrested on a warrant?

A warrant arrest is often listed simply as a hold. The Delaware County Clerk holds records at 3100 S. Tillotson Avenue, Muncie, IN 47302 and can be reached at 765-747-7726. Deputies from the sheriff's office served the warrant and can explain it at 765-747-7885. On MyCase, Indiana's statewide public case search, the matching case shows the warrant order and any bond the judge set. An active warrant stays in place until the court rules, so the person's lawyer should press for a hearing.
