Who Issues Warrants in Maysville
In Kentucky an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Maysville that means the Mason 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.

How to Check for a Warrant in Maysville
The places to check for a warrant from Maysville:
- The court file of the case, through the Circuit Court Clerk at 606-564-4340, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- The custody page of the Mason County Sheriff's Office at masoncountydetention.com, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Mason 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.
Clearing a Warrant from Maysville
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Maysville that means appearing before the Mason Circuit Court or the District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the Circuit Court Clerk.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Mason Circuit Court.
