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