Who Issues Warrants in Mount Clemens
In Michigan an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Mount Clemens that means the Macomb County Circuit Court, which hears felonies, civil cases over $25,000, divorces and family matters; the District Court, which takes misdemeanors, traffic cases, small claims and civil cases up to $25,000, 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 County Clerk.
For Macomb County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at macombgov.org/departments/clerk-register-deeds/court-records (page title: Court records), phone 586-469-5353, 40 North Main (1st Floor), Mount Clemens, MI 48043, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.

How to Check for a Warrant in Mount Clemens
Whether a warrant is out from Mount Clemens shows in four places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at 586-469-5353, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
- MiCOURT Case Search, the Michigan courts' statewide case search; not every court has joined, for a case whose register of actions shows a warrant.
- The Prosecuting Attorney, phone 586-469-5350, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
- The custody page of the Macomb County Sheriff's Office at macombgov.org, which shows people already arrested and booked, not open warrants.
Not one of the Macomb County pages SearchSystems verified (the sheriff's, the court's and the prosecutor'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 Mount Clemens
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Mount Clemens that means appearing before the Macomb County Circuit Court or the District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the County Clerk.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Macomb County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at macombgov.org/departments/prosecutors-office, phone 586-469-5350.
