Who Issues Warrants in Greene County
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Greene County that means the Greene 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.
For Greene County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at greenecounty.arkansas.gov/circuit-clerk (page title: Circuit Clerk | Greene County Courthouse), phone 870-239-6330, 320 W. Court St. Paragould, AR 72450, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the District Court, not to the Greene County Circuit Court.

Where a Person Arrested on a Warrant from Greene County 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 Greene County Sheriff's Office, held about 280 people on an average day in 2019 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at greenesoar.gov/inmate-roster/filters/current/booking_time=desc/1. The Greene County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
A person arrested in Greene County on a warrant from another county is held at the same jail until that county takes custody.
How to Check for a Warrant in Greene County
The places to check for a warrant from Greene County:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at 870-239-6330, 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 Prosecuting Attorney, phone 870-239-9598, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Greene County Sheriff's Office at greenesoar.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Greene County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Greene County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Greene County starts with the Circuit Clerk at 870-239-6330: 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 Greene County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at greenecounty.arkansas.gov, phone 870-239-9598.
