Who Issues Warrants in Becker County
In Minnesota an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Becker County that means the Becker County District Court, which hears every civil, criminal, family, probate and juvenile case.
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 court administrator keeps that file.
