Who Issues Warrants in Sagadahoc County
In Maine an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Sagadahoc County that means the Sagadahoc County Superior Court, which hears felonies with jury trials and civil cases; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic violations, small claims, divorces and family 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 clerk of each court keeps that file.
