How do I find out whether there is a warrant for my arrest?

Go into a bail bondsman's office and show identification. The bondsman will do a search to determine whether there has been a warrant issued. A warrant search is typically completed at no charge.

If there is an outstanding warrant, the bail bonds service will help you turn yourself in and get bonded out. This avoids an on street confrontation with the police.
