Who Issues Warrants in Greene County
In Georgia an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Greene County that means the Greene County Superior Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit; the State Court and Magistrate Court issue their own warrants on the cases before them. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Superior Court keeps that file.
