Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Can I have someone arrested?

If I know someone, that is currently out-of-state- that has a warrant out for his arrest (misdemeanor for unauthorized use of a vehicle and a bench warrant for unpaid speeding tickets)can I call the police and have them arrested if I see them in town?
