Probable cause is not a statement of guilt; however, it is the reasonable belief that a suspect committed the crime in question. A judge uses his or her judgment when determining probable cause to issue an arrest warrant in Ogle County. Without probable cause, a judge should not sign an arrest warrant. To establish probable cause, an officer presents a sworn complaint or gives sworn testimony alleging the case’s facts. Based on the facts presented, if the judge finds that a reasonable person would believe the suspect committed the crime, he will sign the arrest warrant. If you think you or someone you know has an outstanding warrant, try doing a warrant search.
