Who Issues Warrants in Bibb County
In Alabama an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Bibb County that means the Bibb County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $20,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and preliminary hearings in felony cases, issues its own warrants on the cases before it. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Circuit Clerk.

How to Check for a Warrant in Bibb County
The places to check for a warrant from Bibb County:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at (205) 926-3103, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- Alacourt, the statewide online index of Alabama trial court cases, sold by subscription, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
Not one of the Bibb County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is not open to the public in Alabama, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Bibb County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Bibb County starts with the Circuit Clerk at (205) 926-3103: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Bibb County Circuit Court.
