Who Issues Warrants in Hillview
In Kentucky an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Hillview that means the Bullitt Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $5,000, divorces and appeals from the district court; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims, probate and juvenile matters, 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 Court Clerk.

Not one of the Bullitt 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.
