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

- CourtConnect, the Arkansas Judiciary's free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
