Who Issues Warrants in Yazoo City
In Mississippi an arrest warrant is signed by a judge. For Yazoo City that means the Yazoo County Circuit Court, which hears felonies and the larger civil cases; the Justice Court and County Court issue their own warrants on the cases before them. A city with a municipal court of its own issues warrants on the tickets and ordinance cases it tries.
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 Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records keep that file.

How to Check for a Warrant in Yazoo City
The place to check for a warrant from Yazoo City is the court file of the case, through the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records at 662-746-1872, since a warrant is recorded in the case it was issued in.
Not one of the Yazoo 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.
The statewide criminal history kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center is not open to the public in Mississippi, so it is not a route to a warrant check on someone else.
Clearing a Warrant from Yazoo City
A warrant is recalled by the court that issued it, so clearing one from Yazoo City starts with the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records at 662-746-1872: 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 Justice Court and County Court is handled by that court, not by the Yazoo County Circuit Court.
