Who Issues Warrants in Lonoke County
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Lonoke County 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.
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 Lonoke 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.
