Full question:
How does one find out if there is warrant for their arrest in the state of WISCONSIN. a police officer interuppted a company training session to speak with me about the where abouts of someone I know. After answering his questions I went back in training room and shut the door. A few minutes later he opens the door and asks me to step outside.We were 5 minutes away from ending the training so I told him I'd talk to him as soon as we were done, in five min. He says 'do you want me to come in there and embarass you?' 'Its not a suggestion' which I took to mean arrest me. So to avoid a scene at my work and to avoid getting arrested for who knows what, I went out of the room to see what else he wanted to know. He asked me the same questions again, nothing new. I answered the same way as before. As we parted he asked 'why won't you help me?' As if I had not cooperated. Question #2 What would you do if this had happened to you?

Answer:
If you suspect you have an arrest warrant in Wisconsin, you can check in several ways:
- Visit the relevant courthouse and ask about any warrants issued against you. They can provide this information, and typically, you won't be arrested unless it's for a serious crime.
- Hire a criminal defense attorney to check for you.
- Contact a bail bondsman who can also check for warrants.
- Use a service that performs warrant searches; however, some may charge a fee.
Additionally, there are websites with searchable databases for warrants, but they may also charge for their services. It's better to find out about a warrant this way than to be surprised by an arrest.
