An arrest warrant search from the City of Hopewell, VA, will get you results on all criminal matters that the subject’s name shows up in. This includes cases that have yet to be disposed of by the courts and those incidents in which the verdict has already been delivered. Of course, this also means that apart from information on outstanding warrants and arrest records, you will also be able to find out a thing or two about the correctional facility that the accused was held in and the time he did.

Arrest warrants call for the custodial detention of an alleged offender. The court issues these directives; however, the police have to place a request for them first. When an active warrant is served, the person in whose name it was issued will be detained. Generally, he will be held in the custody of the sheriff’s department.

However, the police can only keep him for 48 hours before he will have to be presented before the judiciary. At this point, his freedom rests in the hands of the magistrate. If this individual has no prior criminal records and above all does not have a history of disobeying legal directives, the magistrate may grant him bail.

It is essential to understand that a bail hearing is the right of every arrestee; however, the court is under no obligation to grant bail. Typically, the information offered in response to a warrant search from the City of Hopewell may/may not include details on such temporary detentions. However, you will be told of arrests and when and why they occurred. For such an inquiry, go to:
