There are only two ways to determine if a detention order is in place against you; either you can wait to be arrested as soon as you are pulled up for a minor infraction, or you could go for an arrest warrant search in Macon County, MO. Needless to say, the second option seems and is decidedly simpler.
Police officers have the authority to make arrests under warrants at any place and at any time. So, do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security under the assumption that an outstanding warrant from your past will not hurt you now. Arrest warrants have the same powers as they did on their release, even several decades after their issue.
Furthermore, cops get access to arrest records and active warrants from Macon County and the rest of the country. So, you cannot hide any criminal transgression in your past from a peace officer. All the law enforcement agent has to do is run your name through the central FBI database, and he will get the lowdown on every crime you have ever been involved in.
