Is having a warrant issued for one's arrest the same as being a fugitive from justice for the purposes of a Brady Bill background check?
Yes, that's exactly what it is. If you have a warrant out for your arrest, you are a "fugitive from justice."

A warrant gives the police the right to arrest you at any time - that's what a warrant is. So it does not matter if you do or don't turn yourself in, the police have the right to arrest you if they have a warrant.
Can police come into your house without a physical arrest warrant in Ohio to arrest someone living there?
What does the questioner mean by having the "physical" arrest warrant?If it means that, even though there is an existing warrant, but they just don't happen to have it in their possession - for them to act on the knowledge that the warrant exists is still lawful. They do not need to have the actual warrant in their possession in order to act on it.As in most cases involving the law, the CIRCUMSTANCES of the situation dictate what law enforcement can, and should not do. For example;If the police are in 'fresh pursuit' of someone and they run into the house they CAN pursue and arrest the individual inside.If they knock on your door - you open it - and behind you, they see the wanted individual sitting in your living room, they can enter and effect the arrest.

Non-payment of child support is a civil offense. You cannot be arrested for violation of a civil law. However, the court CAN issue an "attachment" for you, and have you brought to court. Depending on the state, you could be found in wilfull violation of the support order and be charged criminally which could carry jail time.
Can you serve jail time for failure to appear if an arrest warrant was issued?
Well, to the best of my knowledge, if an arrest warrant was issued, all it means is that you are to be arrested. However, since you may not be aware, you cannot be punished. Having said that, if you are avoiding arrest, it may classify as obstructing justice, and you can be punished, depending on where you live.

How do you you secure a warrant of arrest?
You, as an individual, can not obtain an arrest warrant. The most you can do is make a report of the offense to the police and, if upon investigation, they determine that the suspect you name is the perpetrator they will either arrest them or THEY will apply for a warrant for their arrest. In some jurisdictions, if you witness an offense you may go to a Magistrate, Justiice of the Peace, or the court, and swear to an "information" which, if legally sufficient, could have the effect of having a 'summons to appear' (in court) being issued to the individual that you name.
