Who Issues Warrants in Trigg County
In Kentucky an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Trigg County that means the Trigg 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.
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 Circuit Court Clerk keeps that file.
