Coleman Warrant Checks
A Coleman warrant check runs through the same county channels as any other Midland County address. The city holds the citation and the report, not the warrant record.
- Read the citation to see which court is named for the appearance.
- Check the county open warrant report for the person's own name and note the run date.
- Search MiCOURT for the 75th District Court for case context.
- Call the Traffic Division at 989-832-6714 for a ticket or the Criminal Department at 989-832-6702 or 989-832-6718 for a criminal case.
- Call Coleman Police at 989-465-1711 only about the department's own report or citation.
Coleman Warrant Records Start With the Police Contact
Call the local agency first for anything it wrote itself. Coleman Police handle the citations, report numbers, and complaint questions. A warrant record is not one of their documents. The county files every criminal case prosecuted within Midland County at the 75th District Court. A Coleman citation becomes a district court case at filing. From that point the court, not the city, holds the record. Warrant questions leave Coleman for Midland. Note: A Coleman name match on the county report is weak evidence, because the report carries no birth date or photograph.
Policing and Courts in Coleman
Coleman has no courthouse. Its city hall and police department stay busy, but every court matter travels to Midland.
Coleman City Hall
201 E. Railway Street
Coleman, MI 48618
989-465-6961
Coleman Police Department
Nonemergency line
989-465-1711
Emergency calls go to 911
Midland's county courts page names every court that sits in the county. All of them meet in Midland. Coleman's own official contact page posts City Hall hours plus the police nonemergency line and the emergency number.
City Hall answers questions about city paperwork, while the court answers questions about warrants.
Coleman Ordinance Citations and County Court
Coleman ordinance and traffic matters follow the same route as criminal cases. They get filed in the district court. They are heard in Midland, not at Coleman City Hall. That routing says nothing about how serious the matter is. A warrant question goes to the court. Only that office can answer it. The citation itself is a city question, and asking the wrong office is a common delay a Coleman resident can easily avoid.
Warrants in Coleman: The Main Types
A Coleman case can end in any warrant type the county issues. The city name changes nothing about the legal category.
| Warrant type | How it arises | Who issues it |
|---|---|---|
| Bench warrant | A missed court date or a failure to comply | The judge handling the case |
| Arrest warrant | A sworn complaint and a reasonable-cause finding | 75th District Court judge or magistrate |
| Traffic default | An unanswered citation or a missed hearing | 75th District Court, Traffic Division |
| Civil infraction | A noncriminal city or traffic violation | The court named on the citation |
Name Matches and Coleman Warrant Records
Small cities share surnames. One common Coleman name can pull several false matches from the public warrant report, which prints only a name and a case number. Nothing else identifies the person. Two people with the same name look identical there. So don't post someone else's row or send it to family as proof. It says nothing about anyone's character. Use the case number instead. Ask the court a narrow question, then let the court decide whether that case is the one you care about. Note: The report also omits the disposition, so a row says nothing about how a case ended.
Coleman Warrant Records: What They Show
The public listing stays brief. Everything deeper sits in the court file, released under court rules and exemptions.
| Name | As the court recorded it on the case |
|---|---|
| Case number | The court identifier, shown in the report as CASE NO. 00-000000 and printed in mixed patterns |
| Current field | A court-printed code beside the case number |
| Charge | The current charge listing, not a conviction |
| Not shown | Bond, warrant type, issue date, judge, service, and disposition |

Coleman Warrant Records and the Traffic Division
A traffic ticket starts many Coleman court problems. The county's traffic page maps what happens next. It lays out the informal magistrate hearing, the formal judge hearing, and a request you can send in writing, make in person, or make by phone.
- Find the citation and note the deadline printed on it.
- Request a hearing or answer the ticket before the deadline passes.
- Call the Traffic Division at 989-832-6714 if the county ticket link does not load.
- Ask the court whether a warrant or a default has been entered on the case.
- Follow the court's instruction and keep the receipt or order.
Michigan law can suspend a license for failing to answer or comply. The county traffic page links the state's reinstatement resource for drivers who qualify.
Coleman Warrants and Midland County
Coleman cases enter the county system at filing. From there they follow the same path as every other city's cases.
Warrant flow: Coleman Police citation or complaint › 75th District Court › sheriff or local police service › arraignment and resolution
The countywide picture lives on the Midland County warrant records page. Find the full channel list and the other city pages there.
Coleman Agency Records and Warrants
Coleman agency records and court records are different requests. The city's contact page publishes no report-request form and no fee schedule, so ask the police department what it needs before you send anything. Warrant-list policy belongs with the county. The court publishes that list. Send update-schedule and historical administrative record requests there too. Keep each request narrow by naming a date range and describing a record that already exists. Note: A FOIA request cannot ask the county to build a new list of people with warrants.
Accessing Coleman Warrant Records
Michigan's open-records law covers city and county records alike. Its exemptions still apply, and personal privacy and law-enforcement investigative material matter most here.
Key Rules:
MCL 15.231 states the policy favoring disclosure of public records.
MCL 15.243 lists exemptions a public body may apply.
Federal matters for this county run through the Eastern District, and juvenile files stay out of the public case search.
County requests go through the county FOIA page; city ones go to Coleman City Hall.
