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

- 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 989.734.4709, which can say whether charges were filed; a warrant on a complaint follows the filing.
