Checking for a Warrant in Lowry
Lowry runs no municipal criminal court and posts no city warrant lookup, so every warrant check flows through the same Pope County channels. Begin with the citation or case number. Search it in the state court system, then call Court Administration with whatever appears. Staff can confirm the docket and explain the next required step. If the question involves safety or something happening right now, call the Sheriff instead of the city office.
Lowry Police and Municipal Court
Lowry describes its department as part-time, with one patrol officer serving as chief. That officer is Mitch Johnsrud, named on the city page.

A small force still takes calls, writes tickets, and shows up in court. Lowry's office runs no courtroom and keeps no warrant list of its own.
Lowry Warrant Types
The orders that can touch a Lowry case are the same warrant types used across Minnesota, from bench warrants to arrest warrants.
| Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Arrest warrant | Complaint and a probable-cause finding | District Court judge |
| Bench warrant | A missed date or a release-condition problem | The judge on the case |
| Sign-and-release warrant | An eligible missed-date case | District Court, under section 629.415 |
Inside a Lowry Warrant Record
A record opened from a Lowry citation looks like any other Pope County file.
| Case number | The court identifier for the file. |
|---|---|
| Citation number | The identifier from the ticket. |
| Case category | Criminal, traffic, or petty misdemeanor. |
| Warrant entry | The warrant event or active warrant indicator, when shown. |
| Verifying office | Court Administration, which confirms the current status. |
How Lowry Warrants Fit the County System
Ordinance, traffic, and criminal cases from Lowry all land in Pope County District Court. The Sheriff's Office serves process countywide. The county warrant records overview explains how that system works for every city in the county.
Lowry Warrant Records and Public Access
Access rules come from state law rather than city policy.
Key rules: Section 13.03 presumes public access unless a law classifies data otherwise. Section 13.82 covers law-enforcement data, including a warrant index that may stay confidential.
Court Administration can explain what is available at the counter and what stays restricted.
Lowry Warrant Coverage When the Chief Is Off
The city's own page spells out the arrangement: a part-time department, with the Pope County Sheriff covering the jurisdiction whenever the chief is off. That is a staffing fact, not a court fact. The case still belongs to the court. The Sheriff serves the process either way.
Lowry Warrants and Part-Time Police Coverage
A part-time schedule can mean waiting until an officer is free for a non-emergency question. Plan around it. For anything urgent, the Sheriff's 24-hour line at (320) 634-5411 answers any hour, and the city number still works for municipal business. Neither call changes what the court file says about a warrant.
Lowry City Hall Is Not a Warrant Line
City Hall at 206 Maple Street handles permits, utility accounts, and other city records in Lowry. The number (320) 283-5411 reaches that office. It is a municipal line, not a warrant line. Paying a city bill does nothing to a court case.
No Lowry Warrant List Located
Lowry posts no warrant list, active-warrant page, or clearance form, and neither does the county. A blank result still proves nothing. Minnesota lets an agency keep its arrest-warrant index confidential, so a public gap can be an access limit rather than a clean record. Only the issuing court can confirm whether a Lowry warrant exists.
Lowry Warrant Cases in District Court
District courts set the payable amounts for county, city, and township ordinances in their county, which is why a Lowry ticket lands in the same court as everything else filed here. Ask Court Administration what the file needs. That may be a payment, a new date, or a filed motion.
