Who Issues Warrants in Montgomery County
In Arkansas an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Montgomery County that means the Montgomery 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 Montgomery County
Whether a warrant is out from Montgomery County shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at (501) 410-1900, 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, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at mcsojail.countygovservices.com, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Montgomery 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 Montgomery County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Montgomery County that means appearing before the Montgomery 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 Montgomery County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at mctxdao.org.
