You claim to "have processed a warrant in detinue" which could mean that the court merely ordered the defendant in the case to return your personal property to you. However, unless this court also awarded you a money judgment for the fair market value of this property as an alternative disposition of the matter, no garnishment of the defendant's wages would be possible.
