Who Issues Warrants in Huron County
In Michigan an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Huron County that means the Huron 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.

How to Check for a Warrant in Huron County
Whether a warrant is out from Huron County shows in two places:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk at (989) 269-9987, 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.
Not one of the Huron 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 Huron County
Only the judge who issued a warrant can recall it. For a case from Huron County that means appearing before the Huron County Circuit Court or the District Court, with the case put back on the calendar through the County Clerk.
