In the Victorville, CA Daily Press this morning in a clip entitled "Suspected killer caught" we read that "...officials stopped two men...and found one of them to have a warrant"

Is that perfectly idiomatic? As I understand the usage, it's the good guys who usually have warrants; and so shouldn't it have read, "... to be under a warrant"

One might have written, "...an outstanding warrant," which however might be redundant since if you're under a warrant it's most likely outstanding
