Who Issues Warrants in Osceola County
In Florida an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Osceola County that means the Osceola County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $50,000, divorces, probate and juvenile matters; the County Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $50,000, 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 Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller keep that file.
