Who Issues Warrants in Power County
In Idaho an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Power County that means the Power County District Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $10,000 and appeals from the magistrate division; the Magistrate Division, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims, probate and divorces, 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 District Court keeps that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Power County
The places to check for a warrant from Power County:
- ICourt Portal, the Idaho courts' free statewide case search, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 208-226-2311, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Power County Sheriff's Office at jail.powercounty.gov, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Power County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the prosecutor's and the records request page) 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 Power County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Power County starts with the Clerk of the District Court: 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 Magistrate Division is handled by that court, not by the Power County District Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at powercounty.gov, phone 208-226-2311.
