Apache County Arrest Records

Apache County uses a third-party system to publish some arrest information. This can help you see recent arrests in the county.

The Apache County arrest records system shows recent booking information. Search by name to see if someone was arrested. The system is run by CrimeGraphics, which several Arizona counties use. If someone was arrested on a warrant, they may appear in this system.

This system shows recent arrests but may not include all bookings. For older records, contact the Sheriff's Office directly.

Resolving a Warrant in Apache County

If you have a warrant in Apache County, contact the court that issued it. The process is similar to other Arizona counties.

For bench warrants, pay the bond to clear the warrant and get a new court date. The court can tell you the amount and payment options. Some courts in rural counties have limited hours, so call ahead. You may need to pay in cash or money order.

Filing a motion to quash asks the judge to cancel the warrant. Explain why you missed court. Bring proof if you have any. The judge decides whether to grant your request.

For arrest warrants on criminal charges, get a lawyer. Rural counties like Apache still have serious criminal cases. A lawyer can help you handle the situation properly.
