Who Issues Warrants in Matanuska-Susitna Borough
In Alaska an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Matanuska-Susitna Borough that means the Alaska Superior Court, which hears felonies, large civil cases, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims, issues its own warrants on the cases before it.
When a defendant misses a court date the judge issues a bench warrant, and either kind of warrant lives in the court file of the case, kept by the clerk of court at each courthouse.
