Goodhue County Active Warrants
The Goodhue County Sheriff's Office publishes an active warrant list for public review. The county warning is direct: wanted individuals should not be arrested based only on information in the warrant list. For verification or information about listed individuals, the Sheriff's Office directs callers to 651-267-2600. That phone step is not optional when status matters. Warrants can be served, recalled, paid, held body-only, or changed by court order after a person views the list.
The warrant source is a static HTML report, not a form-based search portal. The report header reads Goodhue County Sheriff's Office Active Warrant Listing and shows a current-as-of date and time. The inspected report showed June 23, 2026, 8:00 p.m. The list is alphabetized by name and includes issue date, reason notes, bond amount, and bond remark. It does not show full criminal case history, judge name, date of birth, address, warrant number, or physical descriptors.
The Goodhue County Sheriff homepage is the local law-enforcement entry point for warrant, jail, records, and contact links.
The Sheriff homepage matters because Goodhue County warrant records often connect to jail custody, records requests, civil process, and non-emergency contact channels.
Search Goodhue County Warrants
The Goodhue County warrant list landing page explains how to search the public report and repeats the verification warning. The county instructs users to use browser find. In Internet Explorer, it says to hold CTRL and press F, then enter any part of the name. Other browsers use a similar find tool. Since the report is not a database, there is no official last-name field, first-name field, date-of-birth filter, charge filter, or warrant-number search.
- Open the Goodhue County warrant list landing page and proceed to the active warrant report.
- Use browser find, usually Ctrl+F or Command+F, and search any part of the person's first, middle, or last name.
- Review the issue date, reason notes, bond amount, and bond remark for the matching name.
- Call 651-267-2600 to verify that the warrant is still active and to ask about current instructions.
- If the warrant is tied to a court case, use MCRO or Goodhue County District Court Administration to review the underlying case record.
The landing page is separate from the direct report and is the better link to bookmark when the report is regenerated. It also keeps the county's caution in front of the searcher.
The landing page helps confirm that Goodhue County warrant search relies on browser searching and phone verification rather than a live query form.
Goodhue County Warrant Search Fields
The direct Goodhue County active warrant list is searchable only through visible report text. That design changes how the warrant search should be used. A partial name search may find a match, but there is no system validation, no date-of-birth comparison, and no official identity-matching screen. The bond and reason fields are useful, yet they are not full legal instructions. Body-only and cash-only remarks require special care because they may limit release options after contact with law enforcement.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Options / Format Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No web form | HTML/browser find | No | Use browser find by any part of a name. |
| Last Name, First, Middle | Visible report field | Optional | Alphabetized name list; not an input field. |
| Issue Date | Visible report field | Optional | No date filter is provided. |
| Reason for warrant - Notes | Visible report field | Optional | Examples include FTA, probation violation, traffic, DANCO, theft, and assault. |
| Bond Amount | Visible report field | Optional | Shows a dollar amount or $0.00 where listed. |
| Bond Remark | Visible report field | Optional | Examples include Body Only, Cash Only And Court, Cash Or Bond And Court, and Bail And Court. |
Goodhue County Warrant Record Fields
The inspected warrant report is useful because it shows the exact public fields Goodhue County exposes. It is also useful because it shows what is missing. A listed warrant entry does not give the full docket, full complaint, issuing judge, address, or full release history. When a reason note says FTA, probation violation, DANCO, harassment restraining order violation, or DWI, the court case may need to be checked separately. MCRO can help if the case number or party information is available.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Report header | Goodhue County Sheriff's Office Active Warrant Listing. |
| Current-as-of date/time | The report generation point for the warrant list. |
| Last Name, First, Middle | The person listed on the warrant report. |
| Issue date | The date shown for the warrant entry. |
| Reason for warrant - Notes | A short reason or case clue, such as FTA, probation violation, traffic, DANCO, theft, assault, or DWI. |
| Bond Amount | The amount listed on the public report, if any. |
| Bond Remark | Release-related text such as Body Only, Cash Only And Court, Cash Or Bond And Court, Bail And Court, or Cash Bail And Court. |
| Page numbering | Report output pagination, not a legal case field. |
| Not visible | No warrant number, judge, DOB, address, physical descriptor, service history, sealed warrant, or juvenile warrant data. |
The Goodhue County active warrant list is the direct report source for the public fields described above.
The direct report is the most specific public warrant source, but the county's phone-verification warning still controls practical use.
Goodhue County Warrant Verification Chain
Goodhue County provides several access channels for warrant records and related paperwork. The first channel is the online active warrant report. The second is phone verification with the Sheriff's Office at 651-267-2600. Dispatch and non-emergency contact at 651-385-3155 can route urgent public-safety concerns, while 911 is for emergencies. In-person contact is through the Law Enforcement Center at 430 W. 6th St., Red Wing.
The Sheriff's Records Division is a fallback for sheriff-generated reports and paperwork, not a substitute for live warrant status verification. Records Sergeant Kim Magnuson is listed at 651-267-2603, and the Records Division is in the Law Enforcement Center lobby. If a warrant relates to failure to appear, a probation violation, or a court case, the underlying court file may be found through MCRO or Goodhue County District Court Administration. VINE can help with custody notifications after arrest or release, but it is not a warrant lookup tool.

Goodhue County Warrant Bond Remarks
Bond remarks are short, but they carry practical weight. A cash-only remark may mean the person cannot use a standard surety bond for release. A court-required remark signals that bond alone may not finish the warrant issue because a court date or appearance requirement remains. A body-only remark should be treated as a warning that the person may need to be held rather than released on simple payment. These remarks should be verified with the Sheriff's Office before payment, travel, or self-surrender.
| Bond Remark | Plain Meaning | Practical Follow-Up |
|---|---|---|
| Body Only | Release may not be available by simple posted bond. | Call the Sheriff or counsel before appearing. |
| Cash Only And Court | Cash may be required, and court follow-up is still needed. | Verify the amount and court-date process. |
| Cash Or Bond And Court | Cash or bond may be accepted, but the court case remains active. | Confirm payment method and next court step. |
| Bail And Court | Bail may address custody, while a court appearance still controls the case. | Use court records to track the underlying matter. |
| Cash Bail And Court | Cash bail and court follow-up are both noted. | Confirm instructions before paying. |
Goodhue County's ADC page links GovPayNow for posting bail for a person in custody or posting bond on an outstanding warrant. The county warns that after using the service, the bailed party must contact the county issuing the warrant or the court system to establish a court date and provide current address and phone information.
Goodhue County Warrant Types
The public Goodhue County warrant list does not sort warrants into a formal type menu, but the reason notes show common categories. Failure-to-appear entries usually point back to a missed court event. Probation-violation entries relate to alleged noncompliance after sentencing or a stayed sentence. DANCO and harassment restraining order violation notes involve court orders. Traffic, DWI, theft, trespass, disorderly conduct, and assault notes point toward the underlying criminal or traffic case.
- Failure to appear: A warrant tied to a missed hearing, payment, or court obligation.
- Probation violation: A warrant tied to alleged breach of probation terms.
- Order violation: A warrant note connected to DANCO or harassment restraining order allegations.
- Traffic or DWI matter: A warrant tied to traffic, impaired-driving, or payable-citation case activity.
- New or pending offense: A warrant linked to offense notes such as assault, theft, trespass, or disorderly conduct.
Resolve a Goodhue County Warrant
Start by searching the Goodhue County warrant list by name. Do not confront or try to arrest anyone based on the list. Verify the warrant with the Sheriff's Office at 651-267-2600. Read the bond amount and bond remark before making payment plans. If bond appears available, ask the Sheriff or ADC about current payment instructions and whether GovPayNow is appropriate. If the remark says Body Only or the release terms are unclear, contact the Sheriff or counsel before appearing.
After any warrant bond is posted, the county says the bailed party must contact the county issuing the warrant or court system to establish a court date and provide current address and phone number. Failure to do so can lead to another failure-to-appear warrant. For the underlying case history, use the case clue from the warrant list in MCRO or contact District Court Administration. For a closer look at filed criminal cases after a warrant arrest, use the Goodhue County criminal court records page.
Important: Warrant status, bond rules, and release terms can change after the public report is generated, so verify before acting.
Restricted Goodhue County Warrants
The public Goodhue County active warrant report is not a complete warrant universe. It does not show sealed warrant information, juvenile warrant details, full service history, or every court document behind the case. Juvenile case access is restricted more heavily than adult access. Domestic abuse and harassment matters also have remote-access limits under Minnesota court rules and MCRO terms. A public warrant note may point to an order violation, but the related order file may not be available online.
No official Goodhue Sheriff warrant-search app was located. The Red Wing Police Department app is a tip and crime-alert tool and does not advertise warrant search, inmate lookup, report copies, or sex-offender lookup. That means the reliable Goodhue County warrant access chain remains the public Sheriff report, Sheriff phone verification, records fallback for paperwork, court-record follow-up for case history, and custody notification through VINE after an arrest.
