Checking for a Warrant in Craig
Craig posts no police page, warrant list, or recall form of its own. For a warrant check, hold on to the citation or ordinance number and run JUSTIA-style search results aside, search JUSTICE under Burt County and County Court instead. Then phone the clerk to confirm any active warrant.
- Use the Craig village office for local ordinance or citation routing. It is not a warrant desk.
- Search JUSTICE by Burt County, County Court, exact name, year, and case type.
- Call Burt County Court at 402-374-2950 about an FTA, nonpayment, warrant, or recall entry.
- Call the Sheriff at 402-374-2900 because Craig’s plan identifies county law-enforcement coverage.
- Use District Court for felony, family, or child-support matters and seek counsel for serious process.
Craig Is Served by Burt Sheriff
Craig gets its law enforcement from the Burt County Sheriff, per the village's official comprehensive plan. That same plan puts the county courthouse and jail at 111 N. 13th Street in Tekamah. The village office can still help with administration and ordinance questions. But it takes no bond and confirms no warrant for Craig.
Craig Sheriff Coverage and Court Route
Craig has no police department page and no separate municipal trial court. The village plan sends law-enforcement coverage to the Burt County Sheriff. Its village ordinances page is a code reference only, not a warrant search. If a Craig citation is yours, keep the number and date. County Court holds the ordinance case under Nebraska law. The Sheriff can confirm enforcement; only the court controls recall.
Craig Village Hours Are Limited
The village contact page lists 402-377-2144 with hours of 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Those are Craig office hours, nothing more. No booking, bond, or warrant confirmation happens there. Before driving to Tekamah, call the County Court and the Sheriff, since Craig publishes no walk-in warrant procedure.
Craig Warrant Types
A Craig warrant comes in a few forms. A village ordinance or traffic matter sits in County Court, a missed obligation can trigger a bench warrant, and a criminal complaint can bring an arrest warrant. The Craig village office cannot answer for the court on any of them.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | Missed appearance or nonpayment. | Burt County Court |
| Ordinance warrant | Craig complaint followed by court noncompliance. | Burt County Court under state law |
| Bench warrant | Missed Craig-related court obligation. | Judge in the issuing court |
| Arrest warrant | Complaint and probable-cause process after an alleged offense. | County or District Court |
Craig Ordinances Versus Court Records
Craig's official ordinances page shows village rules, not a docket or warrant list. Under Nebraska law, an ordinance complaint belongs in County Court. Keep the code reference and the case record separate, and ask the clerk for the event history. A missing Craig portal is not a dead end. It simply sends you to the court, the Sheriff, and the public-records request route.
Inside a Craig Warrant Record
Craig publishes no warrant sample or local number format. What exists is usually a Burt County Court case tied to a village citation. Ask the clerk about the fields below when you request the record.
| Case or citation | Use the identifier on the notice. No local warrant pattern such as MC-2026-0000 was published. |
|---|---|
| Party name | Match the exact spelling in JUSTICE. |
| Ordinance or offense | Read the public case type and Craig context. |
| Issuing court | Burt County Court for Craig ordinance matters. |
| Bond or fine | Ask the court; no Craig amount or payment window was located. |
| Status event | FTA, payment, recall, service, or hearing entries need current confirmation. |
Craig Residents Use the Tekamah Courthouse
The official village plan puts the courthouse and jail at 111 N. 13th Street in Tekamah. That detail does not make the Craig village office a bond desk or a place to clear a warrant. Call the responsible office first. County Court handles Craig ordinance, traffic, and misdemeanor routing; District Court covers felony, family, and child-support records; the Sheriff confirms enforcement.
How Craig Warrants Fit the County System
A Craig ordinance or traffic ticket does not stay village business for long. It becomes a Burt County Court case. The Sheriff covers law enforcement and confirms enforcement, while JUSTICE offers a public case search rather than any full active-warrant list.
Warrant flow: Craig village ordinance or citation › Burt County Court › Burt County Sheriff; JUSTICE supplies public case search.
For the wider picture, turn to Burt County warrant records. Questions about recalling a citation fit the traffic-warrant route, and the Craig village office plays only a narrow part.
Craig Public Records Requests
Keep a Craig records request narrow. Ask for an existing ordinance, complaint, or village policy. Name the document, give its date, state the format you want, and say you will pay lawful copy costs. No request can force the village to create a warrant report that does not exist. For a filed warrant, a register event, or a recall order, ask County Court instead, and if either office withholds a record, ask for the legal basis.
Craig’s Village Office Does Not Hold Every Record
The Craig office and its ordinance pages show how the village is run. They do not hold the filed ordinance case; County Court keeps that. The Sheriff handles law-enforcement confirmation. A village answer about a code or complaint is not a decision on whether a warrant is active or recalled. So send one narrow request to the village and a separate one to the court for any warrant order, register event, or recall entry. Confirm the responsible custodian before paying for copies.
Craig Warrant Records and Public Access
Nebraska's public-records statutes cover Craig and Burt County records. Juvenile, sealed, confidential, and protected records stay closed under the exceptions. Request a defined record that exists, and keep the court file apart from the village ordinance page.
Key Rules:
Nebraska Public Records Statutes, §84-712 sets the inspection and response framework.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-712.04 explains denial contents and review rights.
