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

- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone (208) 776-8100, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
