Active Warrants in Cassia County
Cassia County publishes a wanted overview and an outstanding warrant list through the Sheriff's Office. The county says listed people have valid arrest warrants through the Cassia County Sheriff's Office for traffic and criminal offenses, and that people with warrants are subject to arrest on contact with law-enforcement officers. Sheriff Jarrod Thompson's office is at 129 East 14th Street, Burley, ID 83318. Dispatch is 208-878-2251, administration is 208-878-1002, and sheriff records are reached at 208-878-1107.
The Cassia County wanted overview gives the strongest warning on this topic: warrant information should not be relied upon for legal action, the database is updated every 24 hours, and only peace officers can arrest a person on a warrant.
That warning matters for both sides of a warrant search. A person checking their own status should confirm before going to court or arranging surrender. A person submitting a tip should call dispatch or Crime Stoppers rather than trying to confront, detain, or arrest anyone.
How to Search Cassia County Warrants
The Cassia County outstanding warrants page is a public browse list, not a typed search form. It can still be searched with the browser's find function, but the official page itself is organized as a list of warrant entries. Use it to gather document numbers, issue dates, names, photos, sex/race, ages, and charge notes before confirming status by phone.
- Open the Cassia outstanding warrants list from the Sheriff's wanted page or the county courts and law enforcement links.
- Browse or use the browser find tool for a last name, then compare the full name, age, sex/race, and photo when available.
- Write down the document number, issue date, warrant type, and charge or notes exactly as listed.
- Call dispatch at 208-878-2251 to confirm current warrant status or report information.
- Search iCourt for the underlying case number or name if the warrant appears tied to a court case, citation, FTA, or probation violation.
The outstanding list itself shows the public fields but not every resolution detail. The warrant list may include no-bond or no-bail language, but it does not consistently show a complete bond schedule, issuing judge, courtroom, or court date.
Because the list is updated every 24 hours, a court hearing, arrest, recall, or bond change may not appear right away. Treat the list as a public notice and the phone confirmation as the safer operational step.
Cassia County Warrant List Fields
The warrant page does not expose required search fields like first name, last name, or date of birth. It exposes public result fields in a browse list. The practical search method is to review the list and confirm with dispatch when a likely match appears.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Document # | Text | n/a | Examples in research include formats such as 19CR6263, 12CR4133, 24CR5981, and 09CR5025M. |
| Issued | Date | n/a | Date the warrant was issued, not necessarily the date of the underlying offense. |
| Name | Text | n/a | Displayed in list format; verify with other fields before assuming a match. |
| Photo | Image or link | n/a | Many entries show a public image link, but not every identity question can be resolved from a photo. |
| Sex/Race | Text | n/a | Examples include M/W, M/H, and F/U. |
| Age | Number | n/a | Displayed age helps distinguish common names. |
| Charge/Notes | Text | n/a | May show bench warrant, warrant of arrest, FTA, PV, DUI, burglary, theft, or no-bond notes. |
Types of Warrants in Cassia County
Warrant labels describe why the order exists and how it may be resolved. Cassia's public list includes warrant types and charge notes, while the court case may provide a fuller docket history. The Magistrate Court page also warns that failure to appear after a not-guilty citation process may result in further action and a warrant.
- Arrest warrant - A court order authorizing peace officers to arrest a person for a criminal or traffic matter.
- Bench warrant - A warrant commonly issued by a judge after failure to appear or violation of a court order.
- Failure-to-appear warrant - A warrant tied to a missed hearing, citation response, or other required court date.
- Probation-violation warrant - A warrant tied to an alleged violation of probation terms, often abbreviated PV in public notes.
- Search warrant - A warrant authorizing a search; these are not the same as a public wanted-list arrest warrant and may be restricted while active.
Confirmation Warnings and Tip Phones
The county explicitly warns against using warrant data for legal action. Misuse can create civil or criminal liability, and only peace officers can make arrests on warrants. For urgent public-safety information, call non-emergency dispatch at 208-878-2251. For anonymous or reward-eligible tip reporting, use Cassia County Crime Stoppers at 208-878-2900.
The Cassia County Crime Stoppers page is the official anonymous tip channel referenced by the warrant materials.
Crime Stoppers is for information sharing, not for confirming whether a person can safely appear in court. A person trying to resolve their own warrant should use dispatch, the court, and legal counsel rather than an anonymous tip channel.
What to Do If You Have an Outstanding Warrant
Resolution usually requires direct contact with the court, the sheriff, or counsel. Start by confirming the warrant with dispatch because the public list may lag. Then search iCourt for the underlying case number or defendant name to see whether the warrant is connected to traffic, criminal charges, failure to appear, probation violation, or another docket event.
- Do not ignore the entry and do not rely only on a screenshot of the public list.
- Call dispatch at 208-878-2251 or the Cassia County Judicial Center at 208-878-7351 for the correct next step.
- Contact private counsel or request court-appointed counsel if eligible. The Mini-Cassia Public Defender Office serves Cassia and Minidoka by court appointment only.
- Ask whether the matter requires a court appearance, bond posting, surrender, or another court order.
- After the warrant is resolved, allow time for the warrant list and iCourt to update.
Important: A no-bond note or $0.0 line can have different meanings. Confirm release options with the jail, court, or attorney.
Warrant Records Requests
Some warrant information appears in the sheriff's list, while other warrant-related events appear in court records. Cassia's public-records custodian list separates those channels. Law-enforcement records and jail records go to the sheriff. Court records go through the Clerk of the District Court at court@cassia.idcourts.gov. Prosecution files go to the Prosecuting Attorney, phone 208-878-0419.
For a court case copy, use the Cassia Court Records request process and include the case number, party name, approximate date, record type, and a clear description of the warrant-related document requested. For a sheriff-held law-enforcement record, use the sheriff custodian route and call records at 208-878-1107 if the request needs routing help.
Sheriff App as a Secondary Channel
Cassia County has an official Sheriff App page for the Idaho Sheriff Connect app.
The app should be treated as an additional mobile public-safety channel, not as the only or official confirmation route for an arrest warrant. The research did not verify an app-only Cassia warrant search.
The Google Play listing for Idaho Sheriff Connect describes sheriff-office information, jail information, crime-prevention content, updates, and notifications.
For a live warrant concern, dispatch at 208-878-2251 and the court at 208-878-7351 remain the better confirmation points.
Restricted Cassia County Warrant Records
Some warrant material may not appear on a public list. Search warrants can be sealed or restricted while an investigation is active. Juvenile matters may be confidential under Idaho law. Court files are subject to Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32, and public iCourt access excludes sensitive identifiers such as Social Security numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial-account numbers.
Federal warrants and federal fugitive matters are not Cassia County warrant-list records. If a case is federal, records may involve federal court systems, federal law enforcement, or PACER rather than Cassia's sheriff and iCourt channels.
