Ubly Warrant Checks
Ubly posts no warrant lookup. The village keeps no court file at all. A warrant check here means calling the office named on the paper in front of you.
- Read the notice and find the office named on it.
- Call Ubly Police at 989-658-2433 for a report, a stop, or a citation the department handled.
- Call the village office at 989-658-2141 for a permit, a tax question, or a village record.
- Call the 73B District Court at 989-269-9987 for a case number, a hearing date, or a warrant.
- Ask the circuit court or the County Clerk once a felony case has been bound over.
A blank search result does not close a case. Only the court holding the file can answer that. For a Ubly matter, the state case search at MiCOURT can locate a docket by name or number. It is a locator, though, not the official court record.
Two Ubly Addresses Behind a Warrant Question
Most villages put every office under one roof. Ubly splits its offices across two streets, and that split decides where a warrant question goes.
| Village Hall | 2241 Pierce Street. Permits, taxes, and village records. |
|---|---|
| Ubly Police | 2272 Bingham Street. Incident reports, citations, and agency records. |
| 73B District Court | The county court in Bad Axe for citations, ordinance cases, and warrants. |
| County Clerk and Circuit Court | Felony files after a bindover, plus family matters. |
The two offices sit a short drive apart, so it is easy to arrive at the wrong one holding the right question. Call first. Describe the paper before you drive anywhere. Note: Two Ubly addresses handle two kinds of paper, and neither office is a court or a records clerk.
Policing and Courts in Ubly
Ubly police and the village office handle different questions.
Ubly Police Department
2272 Bingham St, Ubly. Agency reports and citation questions.
989-658-2433
Ubly Village Hall
2241 Pierce St, Ubly. Village business, permits, and village records.
989-658-2141
The village contact page lists both addresses along with the police email address, the fastest route for a non-urgent question. Neither desk can read a court docket. Neither can recall an order. Ubly police answer for reports their own officers wrote. The village answers for village paper. Court questions go to the district court in Bad Axe, and a felony file belongs to the circuit court or the county clerk.
Emergency 911 Is Not a Warrant Line
Ubly lists 911 on the village contact page, and that entry is easy to misread. Emergency dispatch is not a records desk. No one there can read a docket. A routine question about a citation, a hearing date, or a warrant belongs on a non-emergency line or with the court itself. Blocking an emergency line with a records question slows the response to someone who truly needs it. Save 911 in Ubly for emergencies.
Caution: Call 911 for an emergency, not for a case status. Use the police non-emergency number or the court clerk for anything about a warrant or a hearing date.
The county tip line follows the same rule. Staff who take tips about a crime cannot confirm a Ubly warrant for a caller.
Warrants in Ubly: The Main Types
Four kinds of court process reach an Ubly resident.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | An unpaid citation or a missed traffic date | 73B District Court |
| Ordinance warrant | A village ordinance charged in court rather than settled at the counter | 73B District Court |
| Bench warrant | A missed court date or a failure to comply with an order | The judge on the case |
| Arrest warrant | A police investigation that ends in a filed complaint | A district judge or magistrate |
Once a case reaches a docket, only the court controls it. A village desk can explain its own notice. That is where its role ends. The labels describe different orders in Ubly files: a bench warrant enforces a court obligation, while an arrest warrant follows a charge.
Ubly's 2016 FOIA Form and the Warrant Gap
Ubly hosts its freedom of information request form on the village website. The posted version is dated 2016. That date matters. The form is real proof of a village records channel, but it is old enough that the current fee, submission method, and clerk should be confirmed before anyone relies on it. The posted form still points to the village as the office answering a village record request. What it cannot do is reach a court file. A village request covers village paper. A warrant lives in a court docket. Ubly keeps no such file. Note: A form dated 2016 can still be genuine and still be out of date, so confirm the current process first.
Ubly Warrant Records: What They Show
Every Ubly warrant file carries the same standard fields.
| Court and case number | The file identifier, marked with a 73B prefix, or 52nd after a bindover. |
|---|---|
| Party | The person charged, plus any name the court already recorded. |
| Complaint | The offense or ordinance behind the case. |
| Warrant | The type of order and the date it was signed. |
| Judicial officer | The judge or magistrate who authorized it. |
| Bond | Any amount set when the order issued, where the file makes it public. |
| Status | Active, served, recalled, or quashed as of the last entry. |
Some records stay closed. Sealed files, juvenile matters, and active investigations are withheld under Michigan rules. The case number comes first in a Ubly search. Every office along the route can run it, and a name alone can return several people.
Ubly Police Reports and Warrant Records
A police report and a warrant are two different documents, even when they describe the same night. The report is the agency's account of what happened. The warrant is a court order following a charge. It stays with the court that issued it. A Ubly department can release a report under the state records law and still have nothing to say about the docket. Ask each office for what it actually holds. A warrant request sent to Ubly police usually comes back as a pointer to the court.
Ubly Warrants and Huron County
An Ubly case follows the same route as every other case in Huron County.
Warrant flow: Ubly Police › 73B District Court › Circuit Court and County Clerk after bindover
Village police in Ubly write the reports and serve the papers they receive. The district court issues the process. It keeps the case. After a felony bindover, the circuit court and the county clerk take the Ubly file. The countywide map, counter by counter inside the county building, sits on the Huron County warrant records overview.
Ubly Warrants After a Felony Bindover
A Ubly felony that clears the district court stage lands in new hands. The 52nd Judicial Circuit Court takes the docket after bindover, while the county clerk keeps the file itself. Both offices sit inside the county building in Bad Axe. Their counters are separate from the district court window. So before anyone from Ubly drives over, one question to the district court clerk settles it: has the case moved yet? That call saves a walk between the wrong rooms.
Accessing Ubly Warrant Records
Two access rules govern two kinds of paper in Ubly. Send each request to whichever office actually holds the record.
Key Rules:
MCR 8.119 keeps court records open unless a rule, a statute, or an order restricts one.
MCL 15.231 and following covers records the village keeps as a public body.
MCL 15.235 sets the response clock for a public body.
Juvenile and search-warrant material carry their own limits.
A village request never reaches a judge's docket, and the court's copy fees do not apply to what Ubly itself holds. Name what you want. The office then picks the rule that fits.
No Published Ubly Bond or Warrant Window
Ubly publishes no bond window, no surrender hours, and no warrant payment desk. Its village material promises no walk-in process for a court order. Bond belongs to the issuing court alone, and only that court can change it. An amount quoted by anyone besides the court or the jail deserves a check before you rely on it. So call the district court about the case itself. Call the jail only for custody, visitation, or an inmate account. Keeping those calls straight is the whole trick for a Ubly resident facing an active warrant. Note: No local counter can set a bond, and a jail desk handles custody rather than court orders.
