Types of Warrants in Deltona
Arrest warrants are the main type you will see in Deltona. A judge issues one after a deputy or detective files a sworn affidavit with probable cause. Under Florida Statute 901.02, the warrant has to name the person or give a description sufficient to identify them. It directs all sheriffs in Florida to arrest the individual. The warrant can be served day or night.
Bench warrants come up often in Deltona. Judges issue them when someone misses a court date. There is no call or letter beforehand. The judge signs the warrant and it goes into the Volusia County system right away. A capias is a similar type of warrant. The Clerk of Circuit Court can issue a capias in some cases. Both types can lead to arrest during any contact with the sheriff's office in Deltona.
Search warrants are different. Florida Statute 933.07 requires that search warrants be executed within 14 days or they become void. These warrants let deputies search a specific location in Deltona for evidence. The affidavit supporting the search warrant stays sealed until the warrant is served. After that, the affidavit becomes a public record.
Violation of probation warrants are also common. When someone on probation breaks their terms, the probation officer files a report and a judge issues a warrant. Fugitive warrants apply when another state wants someone who might be in the Deltona area. All types go through the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Public Access to Deltona Warrants
Deltona warrant records are public under Florida law. Florida Statute 119.07 gives every person the right to inspect and copy public records held by a government agency. This covers warrant records at the Volusia County Sheriff's Office and the Clerk of Court. You can look up anyone. No reason is needed. You do not have to be the person named on the warrant.
Certain records are exempt from public access. Active criminal investigation files can be withheld under Florida Statute 119.071. Search warrant affidavits remain sealed until the warrant is carried out or the sheriff's office says it will not be carried out. There may be warrants that have not yet been entered into any searchable database. These gaps mean an online search might not catch every warrant tied to Deltona.
Under Florida Statute 901.04, deputies can arrest a person without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe a felony was committed. These warrantless arrests still produce records in the Volusia County Clerk's database. So arrest and case records from Deltona can appear even when no formal warrant was ever issued.
What to Do About a Deltona Warrant
Get a lawyer before you do anything. Do not go to the sheriff's office without legal advice first. Under Florida law, turning yourself in means going into custody before bail gets set. A defense attorney can help you plan the surrender and may work to get a favorable bond in advance.
Florida Statute 901.07 says that if you are arrested in a county other than where the warrant was issued, the arresting officer must inform you of your right to bail. You can try to post bail in that county. If you cannot, you get transported back to Volusia County. Under Florida Statute 901.16, the officer must explain the reason for arrest and confirm that a warrant has been issued. The officer does not need the physical warrant at the time of arrest, but must produce it if you request to see it.
Warrants in Deltona do not expire. A warrant issued years ago is still fully active. It can lead to an arrest during a routine traffic stop or even when applying for a job that requires a background check. Addressing an outstanding warrant quickly is always the smartest move. Defense attorneys in the Volusia County area often offer free first consultations for these situations.
