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

How to Check for a Warrant in Poinsett County
Whether a warrant is out from Poinsett County shows in three places:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk at 870-578-4410, 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 custody page of the Poinsett County Sheriff's Office at poinsettsheriffar.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Poinsett County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's and the court'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 Poinsett County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Poinsett County starts with the Circuit Clerk at 870-578-4410: 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 Poinsett County Circuit Court.
