Rockville Court Warrant Records
Both of Montgomery County's main courts are in Rockville, which makes the city the center of warrant activity for the whole county. The Circuit Court for Montgomery County at 50 Maryland Avenue handles felony cases and can be reached at 240-777-9400. The District Court at 191 E. Jefferson Street takes misdemeanor and traffic cases. Both courts issue warrants that create records you can search.
Circuit Court warrant records in Rockville cover serious crimes. When a grand jury returns an indictment for a felony, the court may issue an arrest warrant to bring the person in. Under Maryland Rule 4-212, the warrant must list the charges and the issuing judge. The clerk at 50 Maryland Avenue keeps a record of every warrant the Circuit Court issues, per Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article § 2-607. You can get copies of these records for $0.50 per page.
District Court handles a higher volume of cases in Rockville. Bench warrants under Rule 4-347 get issued often when people miss their court dates. These warrants stay active until the person comes in or a judge recalls the warrant. There is no time limit on bench warrants in Maryland. If you have a Rockville case at the District Court and miss your hearing, expect a bench warrant to show up in your record.
Note: The Rockville District Court and Circuit Court are within walking distance of each other, both near the center of town.
