Who Issues Warrants in Cabot
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Cabot that means the Lonoke County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, 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.
A bench warrant follows a missed court date in any of those courts. Whichever kind it is, the warrant is part of the file of the case it was issued in, and the Circuit Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad (page title: Case Search, Arkansas Judiciary), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.

Who Serves Warrants in Cabot
The Lonoke County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Cabot (filed by the FBI as Cabot Police Department) serve warrants in and around Cabot.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Lonoke County: the State Park at Plum Bayou Mounds Archaeological State Park (state agency); it serves warrants on its own ground.
A warrant issued in Lonoke County is good anywhere in Arkansas, so it is served by whichever agency finds the person, in a traffic stop as often as at the door.
Together, the six agencies in Lonoke County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,454 arrests to the FBI that year; arrests on warrants are counted among them, not separately.
Each agency and what it reported is in Cabot arrest records.
Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Cabot Is Held
A person arrested on a warrant and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office, held about 230 people on an average day in 2020 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count.
A person arrested in Cabot on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Cabot
Whether a warrant is out from Cabot shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- CourtConnect, the Arkansas Judiciary's free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
The one Lonoke County page SearchSystems verified, the court's, is not a list of open warrants.
Clearing a Warrant from Cabot
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Cabot starts with the Circuit Clerk: 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 Lonoke County Circuit Court.
