Who Issues Warrants in Luce County
In Michigan an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Luce County that means the Luce 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.
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 County Clerk keeps that file.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at courts.michigan.gov/publications/statistics-and-reports/performance... (page title: Luce County Court Records | Michigan Courts), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026. That page belongs to a lower court, the District Court, not to the Luce County Circuit Court.

How to Check for a Warrant in Luce County
The places to check for a warrant from Luce County:
- The court file of the case, through the County Clerk, 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 (906) 293-3277, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
Not one of the Luce 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 Luce County
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Luce County starts with the County Clerk: the case goes back on the calendar and the judge recalls the warrant when the person appears.
A missed date in a case before the District Court is handled by that court, not by the Luce County Circuit Court.
A lawyer can often arrange the appearance in advance. The Prosecuting Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at lucecountymi.com/prosecutor, phone (906) 293-3277.
