Who Issues Warrants in Chicot County
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Chicot County that means the Chicot 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.

How to Check for a Warrant in Chicot County
The places to check for a warrant from Chicot County:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at 870.265.8010, 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.

Not one of the Chicot County pages SearchSystems verified (the court's and the prosecutor's) is a list of open warrants, so a check means asking the court or the prosecutor about a case by name.
