Who Issues Warrants in Lee County
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lee County that means the Lee 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.
For Lee County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at caseinfo.arcourts.gov/opad (page title: Case Search, Arkansas Judiciary), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Lee County
The places to check for a warrant from Lee County:
- 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 Prosecuting Attorney, phone 870-238-1212, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Lee 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Lee County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Lee County that means appearing before the Lee County Circuit Court or the District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Circuit Clerk.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Lee County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at arcourts.gov/circuit/?q=attorneys, phone 870-238-1212.
